Step into Marylebone’s hushed elegance and discover a London hideaway that blends timeless British charm with polished cosmopolitan flair. Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill doesn’t shout for attention. Instead, it murmurs refinement and offers the kind of luxury that feels like your secret – until you realise every in-the-know traveller has already stayed there.
Overlooking Portman Square Garden and tucked behind Hyde Park and Oxford Street, in the heart of the East End – yet curiously calm and secluded, the hotel is perfectly situated for those who want Mayfair’s glamour and Soho’s buzz, without the chaos. Marylebone Village, with its art galleries, indie boutiques and brunch nooks, is a five-minute stroll.
Hyatt Churchill’s rooms are a study in refined simplicity. No ostentation here – just creamy textiles, plush bedding, thoughtful lighting, and marbled bathrooms that whisper spa day. The “Churchill touches” (silhouettes, vintage photos, tasteful memorabilia) lend a sense of narrative without feeling themed. High-floor rooms overlooking Portman Square offer a leafy, light-dappled view that feels unexpectedly tranquil for central London. And yes, there’s a pillow menu. This is sleep-as-a-luxury territory.
Ladies who cocktail, rejoice: The Churchill Bar & Terrace is an after-dark gem. Inspired by Sir Winston’s legendary spirit (and taste for a nightcap), the bar delivers smartly curated gin flights, refined classics (think barrel-aged Negronis), and a terrace that oozes continental cool. In winter? Sheepskin throws and fireplaces. In summer? Lavender planters and crisp rosé. The vibe? A whisper of Dior, and an old-world bartender who knows your favourite martini variation before you do.
At The Montagu Kitchen, modern British cuisine gets a seasonal, quietly confident makeover. A homage to the countryside – by way of Borough Market – the menus celebrate farm-to-fork freshness with elegant plating and unfussy flair. Brunch? Decadent without being heavy. Dinner? Just enough theatre to impress, but it won’t distract from your conversation (or your outfit).
Whether you’re down for a midweek conference or whisking yourself away for a solo recharge (complete with spa-grade room service and a silent iPad), The Hyatt Churchill delivers on the things that matter – silence, service, scent memory (yes, the custom signature fragrance is divine), and a concierge that gets it.
Just a four-minute stroll from Marble Arch Tube Station, The Churchill offers seamless access to London’s underground and beyond. Heathrow-bound? Paddington Station is only a five-minute drive away, where the Heathrow Express whisks you directly to the airport in just 15 minutes – ideal for the polished jet-setter. And when it’s time to indulge in a little retail therapy, the hotel is mere moments from some of the capital’s most iconic shopping destinations: Selfridges, Bond Street and Regent Street are practically on your doorstep. Convenience, connectivity and couture!
This is not the loud, TikTok-famous hotel. It’s the grown-up, exquisitely tailored, whisper-of-wealth destination that doesn’t need to try. For the Glossy reader with a jet-set soul and a weakness for polished sanctuary, The Churchill is London done just right. Bonus points to the genuinely warm staff in the Club Lounge, and to the front-desk team that make every arrival feel like a welcome-back moment.
