St Martins Lane

From its dazzling location at the hub of Covent Garden, West End theatres and Trafalgar Square, St Martins Lane is a dramatic and daring reinvention of the urban resort.

Smart, witty and sophisticated, Philippe Starck’s design is a brilliant collision of influences from the modern to the baroque, which suffuses the hotel with energy, vitality and magic.

Unique features include the acclaimed Asia de Cuba restaurant, wildly popular Light Bar, and interactive light displays in every guest room that encourage guests to personalise their own individual space, and help to turn the hotel into a beautiful and ever changing mosaic of colour.

As well as the attractive rooms, this hotel offers 24-hour room service, an express check-in and check-out service, and a
24-hour state-of-the-art gymnasium.

Framing sweeping views of central London, St Martins Lane’s 204 rooms, suites and lofts have floor-to-ceiling windows, an eclectic mix of Philippe Starck-designed furniture. Rooms feature a one-of-a-kind interactive light installation, allowing guests to 'light their mood' from a full spectrum of vibrant colours controlled from a dial next to the headboard.

Special Garden Rooms have private patios lushly planted with camellia trees, clematis and climbing ivy.

St Martins Lane boasts both a luxury Penthouse and Apartment Suite, which are spacious and sumptuously appointed, featuring open loft-like layouts, custom Starck-designed furniture, separate pantries, large plasma screen TVs, and stunning views of London.

For global travellers with a cultured palate and a love of variety, Asia de Cuba, overseen by renowned international restaurateur Jeffrey Chodorow, combines elements of Asian and Cuban cuisine served sharing-style in a high energy, sophisticated yet relaxed environment. Housed in a dramatically colonnaded space, Asia de Cuba's innovative menu matches the surroundings by a dramatic series of soaring 'art columns'.

Asia de Cuba not only serves huge sharing portions for dinner, it has adapted the famous dishes for Bento Boxes, perfect for lunch or pre-theatre. Afternoon tea is served daily, offering 2 varieties of Asian or Eurasian teas. The Rum Bar, with its Starck designed 'lean-on' tables, is an interesting modern take on the classic English pub.

The Light Bar is a unique, breathtaking space that takes the concept of atmospheric lighting to new heights. Guests gather to sip the now famous cocktails. Here, you can snack on Asia de Cuba delights, chat and people watch in a series of cosy niches that are bathed in warm vibrant shafts of coloured light.

The walls are hung with enormous black and white close-up photographs of people making funny expressions, taken by renowned photographer Jean Baptiste Mondino, which lend the Light Bar its bold yet distinctly light hearted touch. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, some of London's hottest DJs are featured.

Breakfast is served daily from 07:00 till 11:00 and lunch from 12:00 to 14:30. Afternoon tea is from 15:00 to 17:00. Dinner is served Monday to Wednesday from 17:30 to 00:00; Thursday to Saturday from 17:30 to 00:30; and Sunday from 17:30 to 22:30.
