The Soho Hotel

The place

Hidden inside a classic red-brick building in lively Soho, this five-star hotel wears Kit Kemp's signature: color everywhere, and art. The 96 rooms each take a different palette — vintage furniture, playful patterns, floral accents, artwork on the walls.

There is a library, a drawing room, two private screening rooms, a fully equipped gym. Treatments come to your room.

Refuel handles the table. Open through the day, the British and European-inspired restaurant leans on refined brasserie classics, its long pewter bar pouring contemporary drinks.
