The Resident Covent Garden
London, United Kingdom · The Resident · Core Luxury
Walter House, an Edwardian block of 1907 on the corner of Bedford Street and the Strand, was empty offices when Nadler bought it from Legal and General in 2016 for £15.7 million. It opened in February 2019 with 57 rooms, a mini kitchen in each, and the sign now reads The Resident. The furniture was made in west London, the cloth on the Isle of Bute, and a Paul Smith Anglepoise sits by the bed. Covent Garden Piazza is a three-minute walk.

About The Resident Covent Garden
- Walter House was 20,000 square feet of offices over five floors, with permission at the time for 18 flats. Nadler asked to switch that consent to a hotel, then planned at 56 rooms. It opened with 57.
- Each room has a mini kitchen: microwave, fridge, sink, Brita tap and a Nespresso machine. Ask ahead and the desk will put groceries in the fridge. The hotel is not trying to be a dining room.
- The company was still The Nadler Covent Garden Limited until 4 February 2020. That is the day the name changed. Guests now see The Resident.
- Entry-level rooms start at 183 sq ft (17 m²).
History
The Resident Covent Garden occupies Walter House, a 1907 Edwardian building at 51 Bedford Street, on the corner of the Strand. Nadler Hotels bought the vacant offices from Legal and General in May 2016 for £15.7 million and opened the Nadler Covent Garden in February 2019 with 57 rooms. The company changed its name from The Nadler Covent Garden Limited on 4 February 2020. The guest-facing brand is now The Resident.
The setting
51 Bedford Street, WC2R 0PZ, on the corner with the Strand. Covent Garden Piazza is about a three-minute walk. Covent Garden and Charing Cross stations are the tubes. The theatres are the reason the corner stays noisy.
