Great Scotland Yard Hotel

Iconic London landmark.
Great Scotland Yard is housed in London’s former Metropolitan Police headquarters, which has a rich history rooted in intrigue. Located in Westminster, the hotel is walking distance to some of London’s biggest sights including Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, and Buckingham Palace.
Insider Tip

Jack the Ripper’s crimes were investigated here and the building was featured prominently in the Sherlock Holmes books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Where You’re Staying

The building’s Edwardian red-brick exterior is instantly recognizable to both literature and crime buffs. The hotel playfully showcases its heritage with crime-themed artwork as well as vintage police memorabilia. Rooms are decorated in delicate shades of gold, silver, and cream while bathrooms feature retro-inspired fixtures and rain showers.

Where to Dine

The 40 Elephants is named after an all-female organized crime collective and drinks are inspired by their exploits. Síbín Speakeasy is an homage to a clandestine bar while The Parlour draws on tales of Britain's Victorian explorers. The flagship Ekstedt showcases wood-fired Nordic cooking style using seasonal British ingredients.

Where to Relax

Get energized with a workout in the 24-hour fitness center.

What to Do
