The Akasha Spa is a legitimate subterranean wellness temple, not just a basement gym
Triple-glazed windows make the rooms dead silent despite the location
Historic Oscar Wilde vibes in the Grill Room meet ultra-modern minimalism in the bedrooms
Краткий обзор: A masterclass in soundproofing that feels more like a modern zen monastery than the gilded palace the lobby suggests.
Подтверждено @dfmarin: I felt like I was living in a movie here. The suite was massive, and seeing my initials on the pillow was such a classy touch. Breakfast in my robe while watching London wake up below was the highlight of my trip. You have to try the pool, it's stunning.

FAQ и советы
Всё, что вы действительно хотели бы знать перед бронированием.
Is it noisy being right on Piccadilly Circus?
Shockingly, no. The soundproofing is industrial-grade. You can watch the buses but can't hear them.
Does the hotel have a pool?
Yes, a massive 18-meter lap pool in the Akasha spa, plus a hydrotherapy Watsu pool.
Is breakfast included?
Usually not. It costs around £35-42 per person if purchased separately.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes! The hotel is pet-friendly and pets often stay for free (confirm specific policy at booking).
What is the 'Portland Stone' design?
Rooms feature walls made of rusticated stone blocks, giving a modern, minimalist, almost brutalist feel.
Is there a dress code?
Smart casual is expected in public areas, especially the Grill Room and Green Bar.
