A hotel with heart, a hint of mischief, and plenty of personality

Behind a distinctive pink door in the heart of Soho lies one of London's most talked-about hotels. The Broadwick London — known to many as Broadwick Soho — isn't the kind of place you simply check into and forget. It's been lauded by the Financial Times, Forbes, The Times, and Condé Nast Traveller, and it's earned that attention not by accident, but by being genuinely, unapologetically itself.

London has no shortage of luxury boutique hotels. Soho alone has seen a wave of stylish openings over the past decade. But The Broadwick has carved out something rarer than a good room rate or a well-designed lobby — it has a personality.

This guide covers everything you need to know before you visit — or before you book. The eight room and suite categories, each with pricing context. The four dining and bar venues, including the critically acclaimed Dear Jackie. The private event spaces. The special offers and loyalty programme. The cultural collaborations, including the El Fenn Residency. And the Soho neighbourhood itself, which is very much part of what makes staying here feel different.

Interior detail from a design-led London boutique hotel with 1970s-inflected textures

Mischief with substance

The founder's journey — described by the Financial Times as going from 'magician's assistant to tech mogul' — is the kind of backstory that sounds invented. It isn't. That eccentric trajectory informs everything about the hotel: its irreverence, its theatrical design sensibilities, its refusal to take itself too seriously while simultaneously taking hospitality very seriously indeed.

The design philosophy pulls from 1970s glamour — rich textures, bold colour choices, a warmth that feels intentional rather than accidental — filtered through a modern, slightly subversive sensibility. It doesn't look like a hotel that was designed by committee. It looks like a hotel that was designed by someone with strong opinions and the budget to execute them.

'The interiors are happily insane.' — The Spectator, on Dear Jackie

A cultural institution, not just a hotel. Shortlist UK included it in their 250 Best Hotels ranking; Hotel Magazine named Bar Jackie Hotel Bar of the Year; Time Out cites it in Soho neighbourhood guides. In a relatively short time, The Broadwick has become a reference point — the kind of hotel that journalists mention when they want to illustrate what modern Soho hospitality looks like.

Eight tiers, one design language

The spread is broader than you'd find at a typical boutique hotel — solo guests, couples, families, and those who simply want the best room in the building. All rates are indicative.

Booking direct via broadwicksoho.com consistently offers the best rates and access to the Friends of Broadwick loyalty benefits.

The Signature Restaurant

Dear Jackie

European and Mediterranean influences with a distinctly Soho sensibility — indulgent without being excessive. The menu draws on seasonal pasta dishes and confident sharing plates; the slow-roasted lamb shoulder and the hand-rolled tagliolini are among the dishes that have drawn repeat visits from regulars.

The Spectator's verdict: 'the interiors are happily insane.' — a recognition that the hotel had achieved something genuinely unusual in the London dining scene.

Hotel Bar of the Year

Bar Jackie

The main cocktail bar and social hub — a 70s-inflected aesthetic, warm lighting, and a cocktail list with genuine depth. The signature Jackie O leans into the bar's retro-glamour identity with aged rum, honey, and citrus. It earns its Hotel Bar of the Year recognition from Hotel Magazine by doing the fundamentals exceptionally well.

Champagne & Celebration

Flute

A champagne-focused venue designed for celebration. The list leans towards prestige houses and smaller grower producers — festive without being frenetic. More private and more focused than Bar Jackie; a natural choice for marking a birthday, a business win, or an anniversary.

Intimate Drinks & Snacks

The Nook

The most understated of the four venues — a quieter space for a low-key catch-up, a working afternoon, or a pre-dinner glass. House olives and charcuterie board are the reliable order for anyone arriving before dinner.

Among London's Best — The Times

The Rooftop

Cited by The Times and The Handbook among London's best rooftops — it earns that reputation through a combination of views, atmosphere, and the hotel's consistent design quality. The light over Soho at dusk is genuinely worth experiencing. Best time to visit is early evening in the warmer months; mid-week evenings are the quieter option.
