One Aldwych *****
London •
A five-star London original in a former newspaper HQ, full of surprises from the underground pool to the rooftop beehives.
- Downstairs, the Health Club goes deep with swimming pool, sauna, steam room and treatments by Oskia and Natura Bissé.
- Indigo restaurant does British classics while afternoon tea goes full Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with cotton candy, chocolate milk and plenty of cake.
- Fun fact: built in 1905, the building once housed The Morning Post, before swapping front pages for five stars.
