If you stayed in a cool London hotel and didn’t post it on Instagram, did you really stay in a cool London hotel?
London is one of the most photogenic cities in the world, so when you’re staying in the capital, it’s only natural to want your hotel to live up to the same snap-worthy standards. From ornate buildings steeped in history, to modern design, beautiful bars, gorgeous restaurants and incredible detail, we’ve rounded up the most insta-worthy hotels in London for a picture-perfect stay.

Leman Locke
If there’s one place that will give you serious interior envy, it’s Leman Locke. Bridging the gap between home and hotel stay, it’ll make you want to declutter your flat and buy a pastel sofa and marble-topped side table, stat.
It’s designed like a boutique hotel, with bespoke furniture and lighting, but has all the amenities of a creative space for digital nomads to bed down for an extended stay. So book a room, pull up a pew with your laptop in their onsite café, and soak in those dreamy interiors.

Andaz London
Is this London’s most instagrammable lobby?! Step inside Andaz London and take in the graffiti-style artwork adorning the walls, cosy up in the cushioned corners for a photoshoot, and enjoy a sip or two at the lobby bar. It’s the perfect spot for guests who have just got in at Liverpool Street Station and want to be immediately wowed.
Another of our favourite snappable spaces at this hotel is the 1901 wine bar – inspired by classical architecture, the building’s historic railway past, and a sprinkling of modern East London style.

London’s first five-star boutique hotel, Blake’s achieved something no other hotel in London had done at the time and created a space that felt more like an especially chic private house, and it still reigns supreme when it comes to dazzling interiors. Every corner is ready to be snapped for the ‘gram – expect dark walls, mirrors and opulent accents. Every room and suite has its own concept, and the versatility means that the snap-worthy possibilities are endless.
If the interiors weren’t enough, the hotel also boasts its own private courtyard, complete with a “gilded cage”, brightly painted murals and a galloping zebra installation, all of which makes the perfect Instagram opportunity.

The hotel on every Londoner’s bucket list, Shangri-La The Shard has killer views that stand on their own – even without the hotel’s stunning interiors.

The Standard
A favourite amongst Londoners, The Standard’s colourful, playful interiors make the perfect bold colour scheme for your Insta feed.

Some suites also have their own terraces, complete with outdoor bathtubs that overlook St Pancras train station.
The exterior also makes for an interesting shot, with a red, bubble-like elevator scaling up and down the building. It was designed as a nod to London buses, and is a sharp contrast to the rest of the building.

There’s also the Booking Office 1869 tucked away inside, which itself is worthy of a space on the grid. Opening late last year and inspired by the original 19th century St. Pancras ticket hall, the room has huge dominating interiors – from the 8-metre tall palm trees and pendant lights to the 22-metre long bar.
