Elegance of the past, made real!
The Idlewyld Hotel is a charming venture if one is looking for something different from the sterile look and feeling of more the contemporary hotel. Elegance of an era now past is everywhere but it is amplified by an excellent, friendly staff; this best describes your first and lasting impression. If you are in need of a quiet time away, then look no further because, not only was the stay much more than we expected, the adventure will be memorable.

Beautiful Hotel
Came to London for my wife’s birthday and this place is fantastic! It was clean and the rooms were spacious. The courtyard was beautiful and relaxing. The breakfast was the best I’ve ever had at any hotel I’ve ever stayed at! (I stay at 30-40 hotels a year). I’m so glad I booked this stay. Loved every minute of it. Wish we would have checked out the spa but maybe next time. I also want to say, the neighborhood it’s located in is great! We went for a walk and it is definitely a safe area. Lots of others were on nightly walks as well.
