One of my personal favourite quirky London hotels, Artist Residence brings a unique vibrancy to the capital.
Each of the 10 bedrooms is different, bursting with original works of contemporary art and quirky furnishings.
Choose between the smaller rooms, a luxurious suite or the cosy loft with a bathtub.
Downstairs you’ll find the Clubhouse, an all-day neighbourhood hangout and aficionado’s dream of pop art, neon and shabby-chic.
Deep in the basement, the cocktail cellar is a speak-easy style den, buzzing with guests and locals alike.
2. The Megaro
Price per night: From £152 for 2 people
Address: 1 Belgrove St, London WC1H 8AB
Phone number: 020 7843 2222
The Megaro is an independent, spirited hotel, which is all about rebelling against the norm!
Its interior pays tribute to London and British pop culture with iconic, multi-coloured prints that just scream ‘Britain’.
Inside the hotel, you’ll also discover the world’s largest mini-bar, an amazing Italian eatery and a gritty piano bar.
The latter is a great spot to immerse yourself in sultry low lighting, jazz and great company.
Sit back and relax while the mixologists craft house specialities and classic cocktails that you’ll love!
3. The Zetter Townhouse
Price per night: From £234 for 2 people
Address: 49-50 St John’s Square, Farringdon, London EC1V 4JJ
Phone number: 020 7324 4567
Independently owned, The Zetter Townhouse is a 13-bedroom Georgian townhouse hotel with an award-winning cocktail lounge.
The hotel was designed by Russell Sage who made this eclectic property feel less like a hotel and more like the private residence of an eccentric (and fabulous!) Great Aunt.
There’s an array of different rooms to choose from but if you really want to treat yourself, go for the spectacular rooftop apartment which boasts a roof terrace and alfresco bath.
4. The Mandrake Hotel
Price per night: From £315 for 2 people
Address: 20-21 Newman St, Fitzrovia, London W1T 1PG
Phone number: 020 3146 7770
An award-winning, luxury, boutique hotel, The Mandrake is one of my all-time favourite quirky London hotels!
Step through the gates and you’ll enter a different state of mind, feeling a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Every aspect of The Mandrake has been curated to offer an immersive and unforgettable experience.
One of my favourite things about the hotel is the three-story-high surrounding walls of jasmine and passionflower, that form the living heart of the hotel.
Also, keep an eye out for the art collection that includes works from the likes of Salvador Dali and Francesco Clemente!
5. The Rookery
Price per night: From £179 for 2 people
Address: 12 Peter’s Ln, Cowcross St, Farringdon, London EC1M 6DS
Phone number: 020 7336 0931
I mean, I think that the bath above speaks for itself. It’s safe to say that The Rookery is one of the most unusual hotels in London.
This delightful boutique hotel was made from the only remaining early houses in Peter’s Lane, meaning the hotel exudes period charm both inside and out!
Think polished wood panelling, stone flagged floors, open fires and genuine antique furniture.
These pieces give the place a warm, homely atmosphere that makes The Rookery feel more like a private club than a hotel.
6. ibis Styles Gloucester Road
Price per night: From £89 for 2 people
Address: 110 Cromwell Rd, South Kensington, London SW7 4ES
Phone number: 020 7373 1004

7. The Standard
Price per night: From £159 for 2 people
Address: 10 Argyle St, London WC1H 8EG
Phone number: 020 3981 8888
The Standard is far from standard. One of my favourite cool hotels in London, The Standard has 266 rooms ranging from their snug Cosy Core rooms to terraced suites with outdoor bathtubs overlooking the dramatic St Pancras Station.
However, one of the best parts of The Standard is its various food and drink options.
Next door is The Library Lounge, which pays homage to the building’s original use.
There’s also two bars and a 10th-floor Michelin-starred restaurant with 360-degree views of London.
8. Rough Luxe
Price per night: From £151 for 2 people
Address: 1 Birkenhead St, London WC1H 8BA
One of the more controversial and unusual hotels in London, Rough Luxe provides exactly what it says on the tin: rough luxury.
The decor is stripped back and purposefully made to look rough.
Some may love it, some may hate it – I guess it’s up to you to decide!
Inside the Grade II-listed property, you’ll find a nightclub and coffee shop, so this is definitely not a hotel to bring your kids to.
Top tip: book an executive suite for a huge freestanding vintage copper bath!
9. The Exhibitionist Hotel
Price per night: From £139 for 2 people
Address: 8-10 Queensberry Pl, South Kensington, London SW7 2EA

Every room has a different theme, each inspired by local landmarks, such as the Science Museum and the Natural History Museum.
The downstairs bar area has more of a sophisticated urban feel with its exposed white brick arches, making it look more like one of the many cool hotels in London.
11. ME London
Price per night: From £268 for 2 people
Address: Strand, London WC2R 1HA
Phone number: 020 3499 8651
Perfect for those who love their quirky London hotels a little classier, ME London is one of the leading hotels in the capital.
Designed by the world-famous architects Foster + Partners, the hotel is contemporary and cutting edge in style.
One of my favourite things about ME London is its Radio Rooftop with panoramic views of the city’s skyline from Tower Bridge to the Houses of Parliament.
It’s one of the best London Instagram spots, that’s for sure.
If you really want to dream about how the other half live, take a look at the stunning Penthouse Suite where nightly rates start at £2,500.

Price per night: From £182 for 2 people

I think it goes without saying that Potterheads would absolutely LOVE to stay in this Wizard Chamber at one of the most unusual hotels in London!
Make your way down to the lower ground floor of the 19th-century Georgian House Hotel, through a portrait-lined passageway bathed in candlelight, to experience the magic of Hogwarts in real life.
Sleeping in one of their mysterious and gothic rooms will instantly transport you to the magical world of Harry Potter.

Holding more hidden stories than any other kind in London, there’s so much to discover in this one-of-a-kind hotel!
No two rooms are the same, each boasting a quirky twist on a quintessentially British classic design.

Phone number: 020 7262 0905
Filled with extravagant and flamboyant decor, Pavilion Hotel is certainly one of the more funky hotels in London.
Each room is individually furnished and decorated, meaning there’s a room to suit most tastes.
We’re talking everything from a monochrome Marilyn Monroe designed room to brightly-designed rooms that feature lavish rugs, heavy gold-framed oil paintings and glamorous lamps.
The Victorian building maintains its original character; you even lock your room with a good old fashioned key.
16. The Pilgrm
Price per night: From £79 for 2 people
Address: 25 London St, Tyburnia, London W2 1HH
Phone number: 020 7667 6000
The Pilgrm is without a doubt one of my favourite quirky London hotels.
Beautifully designed, the entire hotel looks like it was taken straight out of an Instagram photo.
The Victorian-era building was brought back to life as a ‘reinterpretation’ of the traditional hotel, with each room different to the last.
Branded as ‘a home for the modern traveller’, every room is filled with bespoke made staples, leafy green plants and a recommended pile of magazines and books.
The perfect accompaniments to your stay in London, if you ask me!
One of my favourite things about this hotel is its vast art collection.
The Pilgrm champions the unusual, the unknown and the never seen before, so each art piece is picked with these requirements in mind.

This extravagant hotel has been all about fine living since its opening in 1788, remaining timeless ever since.
Playing the balance of theatrical, hedonistic excess and warm hospitality well, Blakes has become one of the most hip hotels in London.
Admittedly, the photo above is an example of one of their more excessive rooms.
But if you have a mooch around their website, you’ll discover some more minimalistic rooms too.
I’m personally dying to stay in the romantic, library-inspired signature suite!
Be sure to head downstairs to experience Blakes’ restaurant which evokes a travelling spirit.
The chic brasserie draws inspiration from everything from Asian Fusion to Italian cuisine.

40 Winks was described by German Vogue as ‘the most beautiful small hotel in the world’ and I’d be inclined to agree.
It’s certainly one of the most beautiful and hip hotels in London! 40 Winks may be small (it only has two guest rooms) but boy does it pack a punch.
The coolest thing about it is its oh-so-glamorous history.
For more than a decade, 40 Winks was one of London’s most popular fashion and celebrity locations, playing host to hundreds of major advertising campaigns and high profile editorial shoots.
Even HM Queen Elizabeth II has paid a visit!
As one of the best quirky London hotels, it offers an antidote to the bland uniformity of most hotel chains.
It’s seriously enchanting.

One of the highlights of Courthouse Hotel is the Silk Restaurant, one of the most quirky places to eat in London.
Set in the architectural focal point of the building, the courtroom itself, the restaurant is home to the original judge’s bench, dock and witness stand from the Great Marlborough Street Magistrates Court.

You can adjust the lights and blinds, browse TV channels and all the free movies, and control the temperature all from the comfort of your XL king-size bed.
Along with the blackout blinds, this guarantees you the best night’s sleep.

Address: 42 Adler St, Whitechapel, London E1 1EE
Phone number: 020 3021 3300
Quite like citizenM, Qbic Hotel is known for being one of the coolest of the cool hotels in London.
The creators of the hotel designed it to be a mellow oasis to return to after a mad day of adventuring around East London.
With free tea and coffee, insanely comfy beds, and a breakfast of champions to wake up to in the morning, this space feels far from the hustle and bustle of London.
However, as someone who always tries to travel sustainably, one of my favourite things about the hotel is how green it is.
All furniture is pre-loved and re-loved, they have eco-efficient showers, all their toiletries are organic, they use green electricity and they offer guests bikes to use free of charge.
And that’s only mentioning just a few of their green initiatives!

Address: 12 Folgate St, Spitalfields, London E1 6BX

Each room is decked head to toe with decadent antique furniture and heavy silk curtains, while still also offering modern amenities such as an Apple TV with media hub.
However, their quirky bathrooms are one of the main attractions.
All have restored period fittings, and many come complete with cast-iron roll-top baths or antique marble baths.
You can either enjoy breakfast from the comfort of your own bed or in one of the beautiful public rooms downstairs such as from the Tapestry Room’s sunny, private courtyard.

They provide long-term unemployed people with the opportunity to build a career in hospitality and they re-use, up-cycle and source furniture and food locally and sustainably.
Even their floating hotel building has been re-purposed – when they bought it, it was derelict!
Not only that but the hotel is beautifully designed too so you don’t have to compromise on style while doing good for the environment.
27. Mondrian Shoreditch
Address: 45 Curtain Rd, Hackney, London EC2A 3PT
Phone number: 0800 606 6090
Currently being refurbished from its predecessor, The Curtain Hotel, I don’t actually know what Mondrian Shoreditch will look like.

Your home away from home, Leman Locke has all the style of a boutique hotel, with the flexibility and space of a serviced apartment.

30. The Hoxton Shoreditch
Price per night: From £99 for 2 people
Address: 81 Great Eastern St, Hackney, London EC2A 3HU
Phone number: 020 7550 1000
The Hoxton is easily one of the most hip hotels in London.
It’s been one of the best places to sleep in Shoreditch since 2006, and this place never goes out of style.
Each room boasts parquet floors, large mirrors, and industrial-inspired finishes, while still remaining oh-so-homely.

Last but by no means least we have Stow-Away, an industrial-looking eco-friendly apartment that is a treat for the eyes and for the planet!
The serviced studio apartment comes complete with everything you could need during your stay, from a fully-equipped mini kitchen to complimentary luxury toiletries.
You’re guaranteed a good night’s sleep here with the super king-size bed and blackout blind.
But most importantly, Stow-Away is all about sustainability.
They do so much good for this gorgeous planet of ours that I honestly cannot list it all but you can read more about all their amazing work here.
One fun fact I do love, however, is that their building is made from repurposed shipping containers, making it the ultimate recycled building!
So what do you think of these quirky London hotels?
Which do you want to stay at most?
I’ve got Artist Residence, The Mandrake and Nobu Hotel at the top of my bucket list but let’s be honest, all of these cool hotels in London are pretty dreamy!
