Up to 57% off a 5-star design hotel in Holborn, steps from Covent Garden — with breakfast

Middle Eight sits on Great Queen Street on the edge of Covent Garden and Holborn, two minutes from the tube and within easy walking distance of Covent Garden’s shops, theatres and market. It is a five-star hotel with a strong design sensibility, with rooms finished in sustainably-sourced materials with muted palettes, brass fittings, and the kind of considered detail that makes a stay feel genuinely luxurious rather than merely expensive. Breakfast is included in this offer.

The food and drink offer is one of Middle Eight’s real strengths. Sycamore Covent Garden, the main restaurant, takes its cues from Italian cuisine with a contemporary approach. The Balcony lounge bar is designed for a slower pace, while QT picks up the energy later in the evening with drinks and live performances. There is also a spa and wellness facility, a fitness centre, and the hotel is pet friendly — a rarity at this level.

The location rewards guests who want to cover ground. Holborn Underground gives direct access to the Central and Piccadilly lines, putting King’s Cross, St Pancras, and Heathrow all within easy reach. Closer to hand are Sir John Soane’s Museum, the British Museum, and a short walk down to the river, Westminster Abbey, and the South Bank. The neighbourhood sits between the City and the West End without feeling wholly absorbed by either, which gives Middle Eight a slightly quieter footing than comparable Covent Garden hotels despite being genuinely central.
