Hotel Information: Flanked by two major West End theaters, and less than 1 mile from the city center, the Waldorf straddles the theater and business districts, offering a convenient location for both vacationers and corporate travelers. Built of Aberdeen granite and Portland stone, this hotel has dominated the graceful west crescent of the Aldwych since 1908, and its imposing façade is one of London's architectural icons.
Amenity highlights: The hotel's conference and event facilities include the superbly restored Palm Court, a glass-roofed marble terrace favored for fashion, theater, and society parties. Breakfast is served daily amid the Ionic columns and palatial surroundings of the Homage Grand Salon Restaurant.
Insider tip: The famous West End has more than 40 theaters, but the oldest and most historic is the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, just 1 block from this hotel. More than 300 years old, "the Lane" was originally a playhouse. Today it's London's most glamorous stage for blockbuster musicals. Tours take place four times daily, and include the regal lobbies, the vast auditorium, and the antique under-stage machinery.

Homage Grand Salon Restaurant - Located in the original 1908 Grill Room, its Grade II listed features are characteristic of the Louis XVI style. The restaurant has 95 seats with a feature bar and walk-in wine cabinet. The new design blends the existing fabric with contemporary elements. The restaurant serves classical dishes as well as some more contemporary favourites, a grill selection and daily regional European specials. The wine list is European.
Homage Patisserie - Serves morning coffee and afternoon tea. The entrance to the patisserie is from the hotel lobby and has a unique, pressed metal finish. Inside the room features the original restored Waring and Gillow panelling. Amongst the rich fabrics and period furniture the focal point is a 'jewel box' counter, displaying fine pastries by day and serving champagne cocktails by night. The patisserie features single estate teas, viennoiseries, fine coffee and freshly squeezed juices, a selection of afternoon tea pastries and a champagne list including the Pommery Collection.
Homage Cocktail Bar - Originally the Hansom Cab and Grill, the Opera Bar and the Gaslight Bar. Wall coverings feature contemporary fabrics, and detailed metal panels provide a contrasting backdrop to period pieces set alongside the B&B Italia Vol-au-Vent chair and a rich, smoked oak timber floor. The bar features a gin-based and a classic cocktail collection and one-plate meals.
