Sometimes you just need a room with a view. When that feeling hits check out these great London hotels that have rooms with balconies. 

Hotels with balconies in London can sometimes seem hard to track down. Rain or shine (okay, often rain) a view from a hotel balcony can take a mid-range break up a level, or put a cherry on the top of a luxury vacation spot.

That’s particularly true when it’s a London hotel with a balcony, as views over the city are often stunning.

To help you pick the perfect pad for your next city break, here’s a guide to some of our favourite hotels with balconies in the capital.

The Soho Hotel

Soho 

££££

The Soho Hotel

Located in Soho just five minutes from Oxford Street and close to bars, restaurants, shops and theatres, The Soho Hotel offers private balconies with London views in many of its rooms.

This is a luxury hotel with a price tag that reflects that, but you get a lot for your money. Rooms are large and air-conditioned, with a bright design that verges on maximalism. Grab a drink from the minibar, throw open the doors to your balcony, and sip while you look down on the excitement of Soho.

Batty Langley’s

Batty Langley's

We love Batty Langley’s. In fact, we’ve included it in guides before, including our best cool and quirky hotel picks recently. But it’s so great, we’re talking about this East End gem again!

Located in Tower Hamlets, just a mile from the Barbican and close to Brick Lane and Soho, Batty Langley’s rooms with balconies offer a look over the hustle and bustle of London life without dropping you in it. Plus, there are roll top baths, 24-hour room service, and quirky decor that will get you snapping pictures for Insta from the moment you arrive. If that sounds up your street, then check prices and availability for a room with a balcony at Batty Langley’s now. 

Fraser Place

Canary Wharf

££

Fraser Place

This London hotel with a balcony offers something a little different. Every room is more like a serviced apartment, meaning that you get the privacy of a private home with the convenience of a hotel.

Fraser Place is in Canary Wharf, which is central and close to the river while still having a bit of East End edge. The hotel is housed in a purpose-built tower, which means that the views from its private balconies are stunning. If you fancy looking out over the river from one of their studios or apartments, take a look at prices and availability today.

Apex London

Fleet Street

£££

Apex Temple Court Hotel

Apex London is a central London hotel with private balconies for several of its rooms, but every single one of the rooms is elegant, well-designed and packed with thoughtful features.

As Apex is located in the middle of the Temple legal district, there are plenty of historic sites to visit nearby (or, indeed, gaze at from your balcony). There’s also a 24-hour gym, a modern restaurant, and an exclusive club lounge for anyone who is booked into a suite rather than a room.

Basically, it’s all very upmarket. If that sounds like your cup of tea, check out prices and availability for Apex London today.

L’Oscar is an opulent hotel with balconies in London, just a few hundred metres from the Royal Opera House and a stone’s throw from the Lyceum Theatre. This makes it a perfect choice for theatre lovers looking for a break with a balcony.

French architect and designer Jack Garcia did all the interior design for L’Oscar, and it shows. There’s fantastic drapery, richly coloured walls, well-chosen art, and wild wallpaper everywhere you look.

The Cavendish

Westminster

The Cavendish is right in the centre of things, by the National Gallery, close to Buckingham Palace, and within walking distance of the royal parks. That means that the views from this London hotel’s balconies are fantastic!

Do be aware that only the larger, more expensive rooms come with balconies so you may have to splash the cash a little if you want to enjoy those views. We promise it’s worth it, though, with the great location complemented by excellent amenities and simple, modern design. Check rates and availability for The Cavendish now.

Check out prices and availability at The London Edition now.

Corinthia London

The Corinthia is a London hotel with both private balconies and a larger, public balcony too. The hotel’s balconies mostly offer views of the Thames and St Paul’s, so you really feel like you’re in the middle of things while not having to worry too much about things like traffic noise.

ME London by Melia

£££

ME London by Melia

Home to Radio Rooftop bar and STK London Restaurant, ME London is all about rooftops and balconies. The hotel offers tailored tourist itineraries for visiting the attractions that are in many cases just steps away from its central Strand location, but you can get a pretty good idea of the lay of the land simply by stepping out onto your balcony and looking out over London.

Interiors are designed by Foster and Partners and are ultra-modern and stylish while never verging on boring. To enjoy the view from the balconies at this London hotel, check prices and availability today. 

Sea Containers

Sea Containers London

We mentioned Sea Containers in our guide to hotels with a view recently, but we just can’t get enough of the place. This riverside hotel has private balconies or patios for many of its rooms, with views across the water. Decorated by the award-winning Tom Dixon, the hotel is modern and streamlined, with views inside as good as those out on its balconies.

There’s an on-site Curzon Cinema, and a great restaurant to complete the package, as well as the Tate, the Globe Theatre and the BFI all within easy walking distance. If that sounds appealing, check prices and availability for Sea Containers now.

Twenty Nevern Square Hotel 

Earl’s Court 

£££

Twenty Nevern Square Hotel

If you’re after a touch of old-world luxury with your balconied hotel room, Twenty Nevern Square Hotel has it in spades. Set in a restored Victorian town house, the design reflects a stately period where luxury was done differently. 

Four poster beds are common throughout the rooms and antique furniture the norm. As for your balcony, not every room has one but the terrace sweets offer something very special. A spacious balcony with views onto the gorgeous street below. 

You’ll have to pay a little extra for the privilege but compared to some of the other stately hotels in London, it’s really not too steep. 

Nobu Hotel London Shoreditch 

Shoreditch 

££££

Nobu Hotel London Shoreditch

If you really want to make your stay as special as possible, many of the rooms at Nobu Hotel London Shoreditch have excellent balconies. Some of those balconies come attached to more affordable (for Nobu) rooms, others as part of suites – some of the swankiest in London. 

The hotel has a reputation for extreme comfort and an excellent brunch featuring some of the hit dishes from their equally reputable dinner menu. However, should famous miso-black cod not be your thing, you’re only a short walk from the fantastic spread of restaurants Shoreditch has to offer. 

1 Hotel Mayfair

Mayfair 

££££

1 Hotel Mayfair

1 Hotel Mayfair is known for being one of the swankiest places to stay in London. If you’ve got the dough you’ll be treated to some tip-top service and a slice of life in the lap of luxury. 

You’ve got a couple of choices for rooms with balconies here, and with the added bonus that they feature on double and king rooms so you won’t need to fork out for a suite (unless you really want to). 

Down stairs at 1 Hotel you’ll find a hot new London restaurant opening, Dovetale. The place is the new project of a chef that’s won Michelin stars for his previous restaurants, and has been earmarked as one to watch. 

Practical Tips to Consider Before Booking a Hotel with a Balcony in London

  • If you have your heart set on a hotel with a balcony in London, make sure you are clear about that when booking your room. Check if the hotel charges extra for balcony rooms, and take a look at whether or not it’s an automatic option when booking. If not, give them a call after you book and ask if they can make sure you’re in a room with a private balcony.
  • Location matters more than ever if you want a balcony. Is the hotel overlooking a river or park? That’s a top balcony experience right there. Where a busy A-road might be less enjoyable to gaze at as the sun goes down.
  • Other features you need are important too! Don’t be blinded by the perfect balcony if the hotel isn’t great in other ways or is in a poor location. The perfect London hotel with a balcony is out there, and we’ll find it together.
