All of our rooms enjoy natural daylight from floor to ceiling windows, black-out blinds for presentations, and sensory features such as walls of silver birch trees or a large scarlet circular table.
Each room is named after a fictional spy from British film or TV, and contains a collection of the spy curiosities (fencing masks, chemistry sets, crossbows and black boxes) to match. South Place hotel can become your personal playground, where you and your guests can eat, drink and be merry.
Our two largest meeting rooms are stylish chameleons suitable for elaborate social events, presentations or boardroom lunches. Each seats 40 guests for dinner or presentations and 70 for cocktail receptions. Both rooms have a south-facing wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, complemented by a wall of dark oak panelling adjacent. The rooms interconnect to create a versatile space, more than doubling capacity.

April 2024I'd never heard of this hotel so it was a pleasant surprise! Didn't spend a lot of time there, but the room was gorgeous. Massive, well designed, comfortable and with the best hotel bath I've encountered.

April 2024I dined in The Angler and all I can say is that the food was outstanding. I was recommended to have The Langoustine starter. Exquisite. For main I had the Cod - that was also stunning! The service throughout was impeccable without being intimidating! I would highly recommend..

March 2024Overall it was a lovely experience. The hotel is situated in a wonderful location with great public transport connections via Moorgate and Liverpool Street station. The room itself was beautiful, we stayed in a Junior suite. Which had a wonderful bath and cosy feel with plenty of space. The mini bar was well stocked and a few additions were kindly placed in our room to celebrate an occasion such as a hand written card. Lovely touch! However, a few downsides. You can hear the busy streets of London with sirens and music echoing through the room at night. Granted it was a weekend, definitely louder on the Saturday evening. The shower was not to our taste with the open feel. We used far too many towels trying to dry the floor after use. So despite the aesthetic was far less practical. We did have issues with the lighting flickering when in evening mode. So had to make do with using the reading lights and bathroom lighting in the evenings. Room service was delightful. With great food being served here for breakfast and lunch. Bizarrely, though they don't offer vegan butter at this establishment, despite having a vegan breakfast on the menu. Also, be mindful when you ask for alternative milk (oat or soy) this request seemed to puzzle the staff we asked. Despite there being a card advertising this as part of the service in the room for tea and coffee. Despite the beautiful rooms. What this hotel really lacks is good service. After a long journey it's always nice to walk into a hotel and feel welcomed. But instead we were greeted by unhappy staff. Who seemed to be giggling and talking amongst themselves at our expense. Too busy to ask if we needed help with our bags. Not the most pleasant check in. Overall, a good hotel, in a prime location for city links. I'm not sure it quite compares to some other 5* hotels we've stayed in. But certainly could be if more work was put into to staffing and quality. Front of house staff could benefit from more training on 5* star service and how to provide a warm and friendly customer experience.

March 2024A chaotic stay. We arrived early and stowed our luggage. We were told we would get a text when the room was ready, no text. Returned at 5:30 anyway and room had been ready for ages. On checkout we were told we would be charged £100 arrived home and was charged over £240 as well as the £125 deposit. On Monday we were then charged £102.01. Not the £100. Called to ask for clarity on the charges were told it’s an error and will be sorted. It’s 4 days later and the £125 charge is still showing. No apologies at any point. Why can’t I check out when I leave instead of all this. Very poor service in a lovely hotel.

January 2024I’ve booked the best room in this hotel. However, they are at nowhere nearby five star hotel, quality and hospitality. The facilities are not at 5-star hotel level. That could be okay as long as the hospitality is at that level but they don’t have such a team. Their team has to be trained and they are not just far from 5-star they are even far from 3-star. Would never recommend it if you are not looking for careless, stubborn team.
