No 5 Maddox Street

Rooms

There’s a sleek modernity to the apartments’ Asian-inspired décor and palette of cream, taupe and chocolate brown. Bamboo floors, white walls and huge windows make them wonderfully bright and airy, but plush textures mean they’re far from clinical. Living rooms have giant leather floor cushions, velvet sofas and spiral-shaped Tom Dixon lamps; bathrooms come with Votary toiletries and robes. They can even supply an umbrella if (like us) you forget to bring one.

We stayed in a 1-Bedroom Deluxe Apartment, which had a decked balcony and a mirrored fireplace. It was blissfully quiet, and we awoke feeling like we’d spent the night in the countryside rather than the city. The 2-Bedroom Loft Apartments have rooftop views and soaring ceilings. One is split-level, with a leather staircase twisting up to a mezzanine sleeping area; the other has a terrace. There’s also the 3-Bedroom Bartlett Apartment, which has 2 terraces and an open-plan living area with pops of lime green.

The smallest apartments are the double-bedded Superior and Executive Apartments - though they’re still bigger than most hotel rooms. We’d recommend avoiding the latter if you're a light sleeper, as their bedrooms face the street.

• Air conditioning
• Bathrobes

Eating

The gleaming white kitchens are as stylish as the other rooms, but they’re also practical. You get all you need to cook a full meal (oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, toaster and kettle, pans, utensils, crockery and cutlery, even chopsticks). All apartments have tables, but as they only seat 2-4 you might find there are more guests than chairs. Staff can fill your cupboards with groceries on request, but to get you started there’s a welcome tray with coffee, tea, milk and sparkling water.

If you don’t want to cook, you can order from an array of restaurant delivery menus. Plus there’s no shortage of options if you want to eat out, including trendy Thai restaurant Patara, which sits directly underneath the apartments and frequently offers a discount to Maddox Street guests. Also nearby is the lovely French-bistro-style Little Social.

Location

No. 5 Maddox Street is located on a side street just off Regent Street in central London, between Soho and Mayfair. It’s a 2-minute walk from Oxford Circus Tube station, and an easy walk from Piccadilly Circus.

By Air:
London City (15km away) is the closest airport, but most scheduled airlines fly into London Heathrow (24km away) or London Gatwick (39km away). Some budget airlines land at London Luton (44km away) or London Stansted (50km away). 

By Train:
All of London's main arrival stations - Paddington, King’s Cross, St Pancras, Euston, Waterloo, Liverpool Street, Victoria - are an easy Tube ride from Oxford Circus.

By Coach:
Most coach services into London arrive at Victoria. These are often much cheaper - but considerably slower - than the train.

By Car:
Driving around London can be stressful so most people rely on public transport. There’s no parking at No. 5 Maddox Street, but a public car park is available on Old Burlington Street nearby.
