The Mandrake stands as one of London's most distinctive 5-star boutique addresses, tucked away in the creative streets of Fitzrovia. With its bold art-filled interiors, mystical atmosphere and lush hidden courtyard, this LGBTQ+-friendly hotel offers a sensorial escape just steps from Soho. A refined choice for travellers seeking a London stay that blends design, culture and a genuinely welcoming spirit.
Set within a 2-minute walk from Oxford Street in central London, The Mandrake is a luxury lifestyle hotel featuring eclectic, vibrant interiors and a carefully-curated private art collection. Free WiFi is offered throughout.
The Mandrake features 30 stylish bedrooms, with three luxury suites and a penthouse. The rooms are set across four floors, rising up from the central courtyard surrounded by hanging gardens of jasmine and passion flower.
The Mandrake has the Jurema Terrace, which is an outdoor dining restaurant and YOPO Restaurant and Bar which is an indoor restaurant serving a Latin American menu with influences from South America. And the YOPO bar where guests can enjoy botanical-based house cocktails created by the expert team of mixologists.
There is also a Members Only Bar at the hotel with live music and DJs from Thursday through Saturday and rooms may be affected by noise.
The Mandrake is 2133 feet from The British Museum and 0.8 mi from Covent Garden. The London West End, with its numerous theaters, bars and shops, is within a 15-minute walk from the property.
The Mandrake is a 5-star boutique hotel that breaks away from the codes of traditional luxury. Inspired by the mythical mandrake plant, the property cultivates a mysterious, almost theatrical atmosphere where contemporary art, exotic botanicals and refined hospitality intertwine. The result is an intimate retreat that appeals to design-conscious travellers and to LGBTQ+ guests looking for a stay that feels personal, expressive and free from convention.
The welcome is attentive and discreet, in keeping with the spirit of a true London boutique address. Each room and suite reflects the hotel's eclectic identity, with curated artworks, rich textures and considered details that invite guests to slow down and savour the experience.
Located on Newman Street, The Mandrake enjoys a privileged position in Fitzrovia, a creative enclave bordering Soho, the historic heart of London's LGBTQ+ scene. Within a short walk, guests can reach the bars, cabarets and clubs of Old Compton Street, as well as the theatres of the West End and the boutiques of Oxford Street.
The neighbourhood also offers easy access to Bloomsbury's museums, including the British Museum, and to Tottenham Court Road and Goodge Street tube stations, connecting the rest of the capital in minutes. It is an ideal base for a city break combining nightlife, culture and gastronomy.
The Mandrake's signature feature is its remarkable inner courtyard, draped in jasmine and passionflower vines, which serves as a serene oasis at the centre of the hotel. Guests can dine, sip cocktails or simply unwind in this lush green setting, a rarity in central London.
The hotel is known for its inventive culinary and bar programme, with restaurant and lounge spaces showcasing creative cuisine and signature drinks. Wellness, holistic treatments and bespoke experiences may also be arranged, in line with the spirit of a 5-star boutique property attentive to its guests' wishes.
The Mandrake suits couples on a romantic London escape, solo travellers drawn to art and design, and groups of friends in search of a memorable address close to Soho's nightlife. Whether for a long weekend, a cultural getaway or a stylish business trip, it offers a refined and inclusive setting where every guest is made to feel at home.
