Review
Condé Nast Traveler
2025
There’s a warmth that permeates throughout Hotel 41, giving this snug establishment the feel of an exclusive members’ club; it’s a real home away from home in the heart of the British capital.
“This former ballroom, located on the fifth floor of a brick-and-limestone Georgian building near St. James's Park, comprises just 30 rooms and suites, with contemporary black-and-white interiors, rich carved mahogany, and black leather furnishings.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set directly opposite the Royal Mews of Buckingham Palace, the townhouse entrance sits five minutes on foot from Victoria Station.
The rooms
Handmade Savoir beds and marble baths anchor the monochrome rooms, crowned by a split-level Conservatory Suite glazed for stargazing.

At the table
The residents-only Executive Lounge serves round-the-clock grazing from the pantry and keeps a 24-hour honesty bar.
How it began
Converted from a former top-floor ballroom, the interiors were styled by founder Beatrice Tollman with motifs inspired by French cartoonist SEM.
