Hotel Café Royal

Since the 19th century, the Café Royal has been a staple of London’s skyline – a place where society meets, discusses, celebrates, and is seen. Founded in 1865 as a restaurant, it quickly evolved into a vibrant meeting point for culture, politics, and business. Names like Oscar Wilde, Winston Churchill, and Lady Diana are part of the guest list of legends. In 2008, the elaborate transformation into a luxury hotel began – under the direction of renowned architect David Chipperfield. With great sensitivity, the historic building was preserved while being reinterpreted with modern, stylish accents. Since 2012, the Hotel Café Royal has welcomed guests from all over the world – right in the heart of London.
