Hotel Review: The Westin London City

An Oasis of Elegance in the Heart of London

Ad/PR stay

Walking into The Westin London City felt like entering a haven of luxury and glamour. We were wowed by the design and calmness from the moment we arrived.

Just a short walk from St Paul’s Cathedral, the hotel is ideally located near one of London’s most famous landmarks, which is a big plus for guests.

The lobby is a work of art in itself. The art installation above us took our breath away—looking up, it’s like floating on clouds and looking down, like waves on the river, ideally in tune with the riverside location. This fantastic piece of art by local artists is just one of the many lovely touches that make The Westin an unforgettable hotel and a beautiful location for wedding photography.

A River View

Our room at The Westin was enormous and beautifully designed, with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the Thames. The Westin Heavenly® Bed was heavenly, living up to its name and being a haven of bliss. The room was calm, with lovely little touches. It was perfect for a romantic break and a luxurious pre-wedding hideaway for couples to relax and be alone before the big day.

Spa Bliss

Heavenly Spa is more than just a place to unwind; it’s an exquisite retreat designed for couples seeking a luxurious escape together before and after their wedding. The serene atmosphere, enhanced by soothing sounds and soft scents, creates an inviting space where you can truly disconnect from the world and focus on each other.

Dining at The Westin: Mosaic & Hithe + Seek

The dining at The Westin was just as good. Mosaic, the Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, has a menu full of fresh, zesty flavours that showcase the seasons. Our meal featured lamb and seafood dishes that were both clever and tasty. For an intimate evening, Hithe + Seek, the chic wine bar overlooking the Thames, was the place to be. Its cosy atmosphere, plush seating, and carefully curated wine list make it the perfect spot to celebrate or toast to something special with a view.
