The Rathbone doesn’t offer a full restaurant, but it does serve a room service menu and has a cozy residents’ bar and lounge. Even better, it’s surrounded by some of Fitzrovia’s best restaurants — some offering 10% off exclusively for guests.

The neighborhood’s dining options get frequent praise, especially the guest discounts at local restaurants.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention that rooms can feel compact, especially when staying with friends. A few guests note that the hotel doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, so if you’re counting on a midnight snack without leaving your room, plan ahead.
