Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 21 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Corinthia London suits travellers who want a full spa hotel in the middle of Westminster. It sits on Whitehall Place, a few minutes' walk from Trafalgar Square and within easy reach of the National Gallery and Big Ben, yet guests repeatedly describe it as quiet once inside. The ESPA Life spa, with its indoor pool, sauna, steam room and hot tub, is the part many single out, along with the breakfast and staff they call friendly and thoughtful. Rooms are described as well proportioned and very comfortable, with a homely kind of luxury. The main trade-off is price: guests who loved the stay still call it expensive. A few noticed small service slips, such as a forgotten wake-up call, and street-side rooms are less peaceful. For couples marking an occasion and families who want interconnecting rooms and a pool, it is a strong central base; if value comes first, you will find better elsewhere.
Guests score it 9.4 out of 10 — the average across the 31 hotels we list in London is 9.3.
- Trafalgar Square is about four minutes' walk away, the National Gallery 500 m and Big Ben around nine minutes on foot. Guests keep describing the hotel as central yet quiet once you are inside.
- From the doormen at the entrance to the teams inside, guests describe the staff as friendly and thoughtful, and the service is a large part of why they speak so warmly about their stay.
- Even guests who loved their stay point out that it is pricey, and value for money is where guests are most critical.
- One guest's first room faced the street and was noisier; the hotel moved them to a quieter room. If you sleep lightly, ask for a room away from the street when you book.
