The Waldorf Hilton stands on Aldwych, on the edge of Covent Garden and London’s theatreland. With 298 rooms and suites behind its Edwardian façade, it suits families who want West End shows, Covent Garden’s street performers and the museums of Bloomsbury close at hand. Covent Garden and Holborn are the nearest Underground stations, and Charing Cross and Waterloo are within easy reach for trains. The concierge can help with show tickets and plans for the day. Homage, the hotel’s grand café-style restaurant, serves afternoon tea every day. If you have tickets for an evening performance, a Stays sitter can look after the children in your room until you return.
The Waldorf Hilton lists connecting rooms among its amenities. Check-in is from 3pm and check-out is at noon. The hotel does not provide self-parking, valet parking or an airport shuttle. See Hilton’s hotel information. Confirm the connecting-room arrangement when reserving, and plan your airport transfer separately. If a morning flight brings you to London before check-in, ask the hotel what can be arranged rather than assuming your room will be ready.
The Royal Opera House, Theatre Royal Drury Lane and the Lyceum are all a short walk from the hotel. Many family-friendly musicals run matinées, while evening performances are a chance for parents to go out on their own. Book your sitter for a little before curtain-up so you can settle the children and leave without rushing.
Afternoon tea is served daily in Homage, with sandwiches, savouries, warm scones and pastries. It is a popular sitting, so reserve ahead, particularly at weekends and during school holidays. Good Godfrey’s Bar and Lounge offers drinks and light snacks for a quieter moment later in the day.
