St Martins Lane

From its dazzling location at the hub of Covent Garden, West End theatres and Trafalgar Square, St Martins Lane is a dramatic and daring reinvention of the urban resort. Smart, witty and sophisticated, Philippe Starck’s design is a brilliant collision of influences - from the modern to the baroque - that suffuses the hotel with energy, vitality and magic.

Unique features include the acclaimed Asia de Cuba restaurant, wildly popular Light Bar, and interactive light displays in every Guest Room that encourage guests to personalize their own individual space, and help to turn the hotel into a beautiful and ever changing mosaic of color.

Rooms and Suites

Framing sweeping views of central London, St Martins Lane's 204 rooms, private garden rooms and suites have floor-to-ceiling windows, an eclectic mix of Philippe Starck designed furniture and a one-of-a-kind interactive light installation, allowing guests to “light their mood” from a full spectrum of vibrant colors controlled from a dial next to the headboard. Special Garden Rooms have private patios lushly planted with camellia trees, clematis and climbing ivy.

Penthouse and Apartment

St Martins Lane boasts both a luxury Penthouse and Apartment suite that are spacious and sumptuously appointed, featuring open loft-like layouts, custom Starck-designed furniture, separate pantries, large plasma screen televisions, and stunning views of London. In addition, one-of-a-kind interactive light installations allow guests to alter the room's ambiance to suit their mood by choosing from a full spectrum of vivid colors on a dial next to the headboard.

Meetings and Events

St Martins Lane features an Executive Boardroom with 24-hour multilingual secretarial staff available upon request, additional multi-use meeting spaces, and state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment. Plasma monitors for audio-visual playback, smart boards, electronic flip charts, portable computers, mobile phones and fax machines are also available upon request.

The Back Room, available for private functions, is a beautifully tranquil space lined in seamless white marble and featuring a zen-like wall of bubbling water. Its simple, streamlined elegance provides the perfect backdrop for a wide variety of private uses. Also available for special functions are the hotel's acclaimed Asia de Cuba restaurant, Light Bar, Penthouse and Apartment.

Light Bar

The Light Bar is a unique and breathtaking space that takes the concept of atmospheric lighting to new heights. Guests gather to sip the now famous cocktails, such as Passion Fruit Martini, Tropical or Vanillan Cairpirinha, Strawberry Cheesecake and Pink Lychee Champagne, snack on Asia de Cuba delights, chat and people watch in a series of cozy niches that are bathed in warmly vibrant shafts of colored light - pink, orange, violet, and green.

The walls are hung with enormous black & white close-up photographs of people making funny expressions, taken by renowned photographer Jean Baptiste Mondino, which lend the Light Bar its bold yet distinctly light-hearted touch. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, some of London's hottest D.J.'s are featured.
