Set in the vibrant heart of London’s shopping and entertainment district, directly adjacent to Carnaby Street and the London Palladium, the Courthouse Doubletree by Hilton is a classic fixture on the ever-changing city skyline. Steeped in history and intrigue, the hotel premises were formerly known as the Great Marlborough Street Magistrates Court, and since 1912, a number of famous and infamous faces have passed through its polished chambers in the name of justice. Artfully re-invented as a contemporary luxury hotel in 2005, the Courthouse Doubletree by Hilton provides exceptional guest services and a truly boutique accommodation experience throughout 112 well appointed rooms and suites.
Many remnants of this colourful past have been incorporated into the building’s current design scheme. A Grade II listed building, the hotel features the original Robert Adams fireplaces throughout the luxurious Magistrates Suites, prison cells in the holding block reinvented as funky private VIP rooms in The Bar, and Silk, the hotel’s Michelin-recommended destination restaurant, is in fact the old Number One courtroom. The recent addition of the chic rooftop lounge venue Soho Sky Terrace is a popular destination for summer time soirees under the stars. Exuding modern luxury, the hotel boasts a 94-seat private cinema, charming in-house spa with heated pool and the world’s first and only Lalique penthouse.
