Iconic

For an all-encompassing theatrical experience, the hotel is one of London’s most historic and cherished buildings that’s dedicated to delight – this central hotel holds more hidden stories than any other kind in London. 

The famous address of a legendary site immersed in iconic British history, it was originally the HQ of the Metropolitan Police. It’s where Jack the Ripper suspects were interviewed, Charles Dickens frequented, and the location used by Arthur Conan Doyle throughout his novels. It was subsequently taken over by the Ministry of Defence and also used as the recruitment office during both World Wars.

The hotel has since undergone a £120 million rebuild, growing by an additional two floors to create 151 rooms and seven suites.

Bars and restaurants 

The famous London townhouse features an imitable cocktails bar called The 40 Elephants, named after a legendary all female gang, that’s the central hub of the hotel.

Look out for a bookcase too because behind this is Síbín – an elegant yet relaxed space for evening drinks with a menu featuring a mix of classic and antagonist-style whisky cocktails; Síbín is a term coined in Ireland meaning illicit whisky.

The flagship restaurant of the hotel brings Michelin starred chef Niklas Ekstedt’s signature style of wood fired ‘old Nordic’ cooking to the UK. Ekstedt at The Yard focuses on Scandinavian cooking techniques using the very best seasonal British ingredients; featuring a menu of signature dishes. The open kitchen, which feels like an extension of the restaurant floor, allows diners to sit at the heart of the action. 

Situated in an iconic 1820s Grade II listed building, the Great Scotland Yard Hotel blends tradition with modern luxury effortlessly. Now thanks to its innovative and affordable pre-theatre menu, diners can treat themselves to a classy meal in elegant surroundings before their show.

And for Valentine’s Day, the hotel has exclusively partnered with Hatton Garden based jeweller, Louise Sinclair, to launch the ultimate Valentine’s gift: a limited edition ‘Lovers Edition’ cocktail – ‘The Eternal Kiss’, which will be served with a 9ct gold pendant eternity necklace, at an exclusive offer price £260, 14-28^th February. The Circle of Life pendant, set with red spinel gemstones, and ‘The Eternal Kiss’ cocktail will be served in the hotel‘s distinctive cocktail bar, The 40 Elephants, with an exclusive offer price – the perfect romantic gift to treat a loved one to this Valentine’s Day.
