Hotel review

Sophisticated and unmistakably modern, The Westin London City brings a calming, wellness-driven twist to a stretch of the Thames that has long leaned corporate. The hotel’s riverside position is one of its great triumphs - a front-row seat to sunrises over the water, with the soft hum of city life just beyond the glass. Inside, the design is stylish yet understated: soothing neutral palettes, sculptural lighting, and a generous use of natural textures that quietly encourage you to wind down. Rooms are spacious by London standards, with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the river or the city’s rooftops. Heavenly Beds, trademark Westin indulgences, and spa-worthy bathrooms make unwinding almost compulsory.

Wellness is a clear thread throughout. The Heavenly Spa by Westin is expansive and genuinely restorative, with five treatment rooms and innovative thermal treatments. The indoor pool - with its long, tranquil lines and gentle lighting - feels like a secret sanctuary carved beneath the city. Even the fitness studio, bright and inviting, goes beyond the usual hotel gym fare.

Dining is thoughtful rather than showy. The restaurant, Mosaic, leans into fresh, unfussy dishes, often with a Mediterranean nod, while Hithe + Seek, the riverside bar is a particularly lovely spot at dusk, with cocktails that echo the hotel’s polished, contemporary spirit.

What sets The Westin London City apart is its ability to feel both connected and cocooned. Step outside and you’re moments from the Millennium Bridge, St Paul’s, and the bustle of the Square Mile. Step back inside and the atmosphere dips into something softer and slower. It's a quietly luxurious choice for travellers who want the city’s energy at their feet but a comfortable space to return to - and one that delivers on the Westin promise of wellbeing at every turn. The hotel is pet-friendly and welcomes trained pets for a fee.
