Fodor's Expert Review Leonardo Royal Hotel London City

8–14 Cooper's Row, London, Greater London, EC3N 2BQ, England

Editor's Note: This location is reported to be under new ownership and therefore this review may contain inaccuracies.

With an eye on business, this sleek City hotel has everything the workaholic needs to feel right at home: chic bedrooms subtly decorated, modern furnishings, and plenty of space (by London standards). "Female-friendly" rooms have extra amenities ranging from more powerful hair dryers to extra-secure doors with peepholes and chain locks, and are serviced by female-only staff. Guests can exercise in the magnificent columned swimming pool, linger over sushi at the Koto II Japanese Restaurant, or sip cocktails in the Isis Whisky Bar.

PROS

  • good-sized rooms
  • rates can drop considerably on weekends
  • women-friendly rooms are great for lone female travelers

CONS

  • a bit off the tourist track
  • some rooms overlook train platform
  • prices can soar midweek
