Chill out on one of the sunbeds poolside, and perk yourself up with a Forever Young fruity juice from the Refuel juice bar. Book a tension-easing Tibetan Harmony massage treatment or the Gold Hydralifting Facial to cleanse, exfoliate and nourish your skin with added golden sparkle. Hidden away at the very bottom of the building, start with a workout in the fully-equipped gym studio then recover with some time in the sauna, steam room or simply float in the beautifully blue pool and hydro-pool. For something more dressy, the glamorous rooftop lounge 8 At The Londoner serves world-class modern Japanese cuisine accompanied by lavish cocktails.ĭisconnect from reality deep down in The Retreat, a whole floor dedicated to wellness, fitness and nutrition. This is one for gin connoisseurs, where a nightcap will soon turn you blurry-eyed in the informal, speak-easy den. There is also Joshua’s Tavern, inspired by the 18th-century artist and former Leicester Square resident Joshua Reynolds. The must-order drink is French wine, of course – the waiter will be keen to tell you which one is best. Finish with the rich pot de crème au chocolat, soaked in spiced rum for a real after-dinner kick. Start with petit déjeuner and go back for supper where fresh fish is key – order the creamy, hearty rigatoni au homard (rigatoni with seared lobster), or try the pan-seared sea bass with white wine, parsley and lemon for zesty flavour. Nab yourself a table at The Londoner’s signature restaurant Whitcomb’s for a contemporary French Mediterranean medley of small plates and mains created by Executive Head Chef Shailesh Deshmukh. It serves an all-day menu and afternoon tea, with Champagne as the star of the show. Decadent lobby bar The Stage pays homage to neighbouring theatreland with its opulent avant-garde design – elegant pink armchairs, a dramatic bar lined with fresh hydrangeas. There are six restaurants and bars at The Londoner, each overseen by Nobu alum Amir Jati. Joshua's Tavern at The Londoner Hotel Andrew Beasley Photography
