Since 1865, the Charing Cross Hotel has stood as a monument to the power and confidence of the Victorian era. And in 2007, it set new standards for world class hotels in the 21st century, as part of the Guoman collection.

The transformation has required many changes some large, some subtle, so you may not notice them at first. However, the hotel's innate elegance and refinement has always been preserved. In an age when everything seems transient, and everyone's always in a rush, the timeless gentility of Charing Cross gives it a unique atmosphere and outlook.

The hotel is a grade II listed building dating back more than 140 years, but the 239 bedrooms consisting of junior suites, executive and deluxe rooms are all modern and well furnished. They are all en-suite and equipped with a flat screen TV, telephone, hairdryer, tea & coffee making facilities and BT Openzone internet access.

For a real tasty treat, visit The Terrace on the Strand, a delightful restaurant offering delicious lunches, afternoon tea and dinner. If you fancy something less formal, the Victorian lounge with its relaxed atmosphere serves light bites and drinks throughout the day.

The Strand bar is also open throughout the day and is perfect for a relaxing drink either before or after dinner.
