Park Plaza London Waterloo

The hotel places you within easy walking distance of the South Bank and Westminster, with the London Eye, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament all close by. Waterloo and Lambeth North stations make getting around straightforward, while Covent Garden, Soho and the wider West End are easily reached by Tube.

Rooms are bright and contemporary, with floor-to-ceiling windows, sleek bathrooms and practical workspaces. Connecting rooms offer families greater flexibility, while selected rooms and suites make the most of the setting, with views towards the Houses of Parliament and the London skyline.

Florentine Restaurant & Bar keeps things relaxed, with Italian classics, freshly made pizzas and desserts, alongside cocktails, wines and craft beers. It’s an easy option for dinner after a day exploring London, with 24-hour room service available if you’d rather stay in.

The 15-metre indoor pool is a welcome addition after a day in London, with a sauna and steam room. There’s also a 24-hour fitness centre with Technogym equipment, plus treatment rooms for massages and beauty treatments.
