The hotel is clad in grey Norwegian granite, with a slate and copper roof, which now creates a pop of green, accenting the building\u2019s stature. Until 1937 it was the headquarters of the Morning Post newspaper, and it was restored, retaining its Edwardian style, in 1998.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11021536\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/One-Aldwych-Exterior-DOR-2836.jpg\" alt=\"Review: One Aldwych\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11021536\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/One-Aldwych-Exterior-DOR-2836.jpg\" alt=\"Review: One Aldwych\" \/><\/noscript>\r\n<figcaption>Review: One Aldwych<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hotel is independently owned and has been recently redesigned with touches of Britishness around every corner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Our arrival<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The concierge welcomed us with a huge floral display with tennis balls hanging off it by in-house florist Mark Siredzuk \u2013 a gorgeous celebration of the Wimbledon tournament taking place.

Designed by Robert Angell, they are understated and elegant. Bright, airy and very modern, they are gorgeous, with plush furnishings and light d\u00e9cor. All suites are so spacious; they\u2019d be perfect for a bride to get ready in. I loved the British touches \u2013 they woollen blankets made from Isle of Skye yarn and handcrafted Mitchell and Peach toiletries in the bathroom. I was struck with the design and quality of the furniture as well \u2013 beautiful pieces that begged to be looked at, touched, and sank into.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Our suite<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stunning Terrace Suite is one of the largest suites I\u2019ve ever stayed in.

The pool is chlorine-free, using a mineral-based cleaning system with no harsh chemicals, in line with the hotel\u2019s focus on responsibility and sustainability.

An afternoon tea inspired by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory sounds like so much fun, with lemon sherbet tea, sumptuous sandwiches and delicious cakes and sweets. You can even watch the film first in a private screening room, which would also be an ideal place for a stag party, with a \u2018Film and Fizz\u2019 event, complete with popcorn and a movie of your choice.

They also have a sustainable sourcing and purchasing policy, ensuring food and other products are low-energy, low-air-miles, free-range, organic and sustainable.
