Opened 2004 on a former NCP car park site in Soho. Botero's bronze 'Cat' sculpture greets guests. Refuel Bar & Restaurant is a media-industry haunt.
The setting
The Soho Hotel occupies 4 Richmond Mews, tucked behind Dean Street — Soho's historic creative artery, home over the centuries to Canaletto, Karl Marx, and a dynasty of media companies and film post-production houses that made this the capital's entertainment industry heartland. The National Gallery is a ten-minute walk, Trafalgar Square twelve, and the British Museum thirteen. Dean Street, Frith Street, and Old Compton Street are steps away, offering celebrated independent restaurants and bars. The hotel sits within a mews of rare quiet while the full energy of Soho — theatres, music venues, Carnaby Street — presses in from every side.
