Hotel 41

Hotel 41, a five-star boutique hotel next to Buckingham Palace

Hotel 41 is a five-star property located at 41 Buckingham Palace Road, in the London district of Victoria, about a five-minute walk from Victoria Station and very close to Buckingham Palace, The Royal Mews and The Queen's Gallery. The hotel presents itself as an intimate and exclusive retreat for in-house guests, with the atmosphere of a private members' club. It is part of The Red Carnation Hotel Collection, a family-owned and run hotel collection.

The property has 28 rooms and suites, according to the main description on the site, although another section of the same website puts the offering at 30 individually designed rooms and suites. The decor follows a black and white theme inspired by French cartoonist SEM, with mahogany panelling, sumptuous bedding, marble bathrooms, orchids, scented candles and polished chrome and brass details.

Executive Lounge and dining concept

The heart of the hotel is a historic lounge and dining room reserved exclusively for in-house guests. The mahogany-panelled Executive Lounge offers a personalised dining and drinks service available around the clock, with refreshments and treats throughout the day. The hotel's own concept, called 'plunder the pantry', consists of a selection of sweet and savoury treats laid out daily until late, alongside a help-yourself ice cream fridge.

The dining offering is completed by breakfast, complimentary treats and access to the collection's sister restaurants: The English Grill, The Curry Room, The New York Bar, The Leopard Bar and bbar.

Guest services and experiences

The hotel sells gift vouchers designed as presents, with which the recipient can stay and enjoy the facilities. Among the experiences it offers are attractions, a cinema, London tours and other activities. The website also includes specific information for families, solo travellers, guests with pets and accessibility, as well as sections on sustainability and group accommodation.

Team and management

The Resident Manager is Adéle Coetzee, who leads a team described by the hotel itself as focused on adding personalised details, from gifts to nightly turndown treats and daily canapés. The property's Managing Director is Malcolm Hendry. The hotel maintains a dedicated guest experience team and a people and culture team.
