This London hotel allows you to enjoy such natural sights as The Long Water only 500 metres away. The scientifically spellbinding Science Museum is about 20 minutes on foot from the family-run accommodation, while Marylebone is situated 2.4 km away.

Rooms

Eat & Drink
The cocktail bar is ideal for a relaxing drink. Offering European meals, Bel Canto Restaurant is situated fairly close to the lovely The Columbia Hotel.
“The Columbia, with its Victorian bones and Hyde Park views, presents an intriguing family stay; spacious common areas hint at a bygone era of leisurely travel, while direct booking perks add value. Though some areas show their age, the independent, family-run atmosphere provides a personal touch often missing in larger establishments, especially when traveling with pets. It's a unique London experience.”
