Best Hotels in Victoria
The Rubens at The Palace
£££
The grand entrance to Rubens at The Palace certainly looks like it’s fit for royalty. Overlooking Buckingham Palace, Rubens oozes every bit of grandeur you would expect inside and out.
Downstairs is filled with lavish dining rooms with chandeliers, soft red velvet chairs, and a glass-panelled lounge. And, if you think that’s impressive, head up to the bedrooms you’ll be greeted with homely comforts in individually-designed rooms.
Everything at this Victoria hotel is bold, from the striped wallpaper to standout blue and yellow hues. Personal service is also high on the agenda and Rubens goes out of its way to cater to all guest’s needs.
Eccleston Square Hotel
£££
Sitting in an award-winning residential square, Eccleston Square Hotel makes for the perfect Central London getaway.
Why, we hear you ask? Well, bordering Belgravia and Victoria, you’ll have an abundance of fancy bars and restaurants to choose from.
The minimal rooms still manage to feel cosy, which is just what you need after pounding the busy London streets. Luxury marble bathrooms include a hidden TV in the bathroom mirror keeping you entertained at all times.
Some of the gorgeous rooms also have balconies – which makes for a fancy morning coffee spot, if you ask us.
The Clermont Victoria
£££
Situated in the heart of Victoria, The Clermont Victoria oozes Victorian opulence. The Grade-II listed railway hotel is located next to Victoria station and ticks our boxes for location and decor.
From the outside, The Clermont is a symmetrical building with grand architectural designs and matching windows.
Inside is just as fancy, of course. The entrance has bifurcated staircases and instantly you feel like a Harry Potter extra. If you look up you’ll notice exquisite pillars and a crystalised chandelier.
The bedrooms, however, are a little more paired back. They take a more minimalist approach, which we love. Settle into Egyptian cotton beds and pop some music on using the in-room docking station to make the most out of your stay.
CitizenM London Victoria
£££
Citizen M hotel is a place to work, play and relax. Neighbouring Buckingham Palace, it’s conveniently located near Victoria station.
Citizen M’s quirky interior is playful – it’s one of the most inviting hotels in Victoria. The designer living room is a funky place to hang out, admire colourful artwork and meet like-minded people.
Bedrooms are designed with comfort in mind: control the temperature, lighting and music using the handy remote whilst relaxing in bed – sounds dreamy, right?
The Goring Hotel
£££
It’s rare that you find a luxury hotel that’s family-owned in London. Well, The Goring Hotel just so happens to be the last of its kind.
This five-star hotel is a bit of a splurge, but trust us it’s worth it. Another rarity is a private bit of outdoor space in London.
With over a century’s experience in luxury service, it’s easy to see why The Goring gets it spot on. You’ll be treated to nothing but impeccable service at The Dining Room and The Cocktail Bar – both of which are unmissable.
The Z Hotel Victoria
££
If you’re looking for a cheap hotel in Victoria that doesn’t skimp on necessities, head to The Z Hotel.
Offering compact, luxurious rooms, comfy is The Z Hotel’s middle name. And handcrafted beds are dressed in crisp linen sheets and blackout curtains are on guard to ensure you get all the beauty sleep you need.
Head down to the Z Cafe in the AM for fresh croissants, cereals and bacon rolls. Grab yourself a coffee before heading out for a morning stroll in St James’ Park, right around the corner.
The Eaton Townhouse

We especially love the location of this Victoria hotel, it’s closeby to famous landmarks and has plenty of bars and restaurants surrounding it.
We’d describe this hotel as no frills, but that’s not to say you’ll want for anything. The air-conditioned rooms have been modernised, but there are no added extras or breakfast available.

Before heading out to explore Victoria, make sure you head down to Victor Hotel’s continental breakfast spread. Fill up on pastries and fresh fruit, all for free. That should set you up for your day.
Colliers Hotel
££
Another excellent Victoria hotel we recommend is Collier’s Hotel. This no-frills hotel has a lot to offer the tepid explorer despite its affordable price tag.
The good news? You’ll be well fed in the AM during your stay here. The buffet-style breakfast has all the morning goods at no extra cost.
The bedrooms look slightly tired, though they’re spotlessly clean and come with fresh towels and an ensuite. Although, if you’d like WiFi you’d need to pay a small fee.
Collier’s Hotel is within walking distance of Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey. So, this hotel is perfect if you’re planning a visit to some of London’s major attractions and will most likely spend all your time outside exploring.

Luna Simone Hotel
£££
Luna Simone Hotel is a quintessential Victoria hotel – the exterior is piercing white and elegant.
We’ll warn you that stepping inside the Luna Simone Hotel is a little bit of a maze. There’s a myriad of staircases leading to different floors and rooms dotted around the many corridors.
Bedrooms are quite minimal and have all of the usual amenities. But the best part about this hotel is the breakfast. A complimentary full English is served in the downstairs dining room. And it’s truly delicious.
The Windermere Hotel
£££
This 4-star Victorian hotel is one of the best hotels in Victoria. The Windermere Hotel is a great place to stay if you’re heading to the nearby West End.
Each room has been individually designed and comes with lots of character. Bedrooms feature pops of colour with patterned curtains and cushions to match.
The family-run hotel also had a brasserie serving a full English breakfast and a modern European menu for dinner. We also love that this hotel is located along a traditional Victorian street. It fits well with The Windermere’s design.
Mornington Hotel Victoria

Doubletree by Hilton London Victoria
£££
Every stay at Doubletree by Hilton begins with a chocolate chip cookie – that’s a mantra we’d like to live by.
This glamorous hotel is so big that you could get lost inside. But we love it here because you’re always well looked after from start to finish. Plus, the restaurant’s European menu is exactly the tonic after a day of exploring. Followed by cocktails in the stylish bar, of course.
It makes sense that this luxurious hotel is within walking distance of Harrods and Oxford Street. You should absolutely stay here if you’re looking to splurge both on your room and in the shops.

Situated just along from the iconic Vauxhall Bridge is the Park Plaza Victoria London hotel. We think you’ll agree that it’s already impressive because of its location.
But wait until you see the unique views from your bedroom window. It’s not every day you get to wake up to a view of London’s skyscrapers.
This contemporary hotel boasts a sauna and steam room as well as a fully equipped gym that you should definitely take advantage of (if pounding London’s streets doesn’t make you break a sweat).
