The Henrietta Hotel ****

🎢 A staycation like a social club for cocktail lovers Tucked in vibrant Covent Garden, this boutique gem by The Experimental Group occupies two 19th-century Georgian townhouses. Designed by Dorothée Meilichzon, it mixes Art Deco chic with 70s flair: terrazzo carpets, brass lamps, rose walls and hand-painted signs. Downstairs, Henri buzzes with French brasserie classics made from British seasonal produce: steak-frites, pig’s trotter croquettes, and cocktails to match. Later, head through Chinatown to the secret doors of the Experimental Cocktail Club where 1920s glamour meets East London edge, and the menu reads like a love letter to mixology, from vintage Negronis to originals like "You Make Miso Happy"
