Exploring London hotels is always an interesting concept for me, as a native of the city. My expectations and requirements are never quite what someone who is visiting the city for business or pleasure would expect.
So when Robert Nadler invited me to stay for a couple of nights at The Nadler Victoria, I wanted to go through the process of what I would essentially do at a hotel in New York or Paris or Milan – and I have to say, the entire experience – from the wi-fi to the beds, the check-in process to the bathroom and most of all the functionality as a whole – was completely seamless.
Let’s start with a little bit of background on Nadler Hotels Group and Mr Robert Nadler himself, with whom I had the pleasure and honour of catching up with during my stay here. As a boutique hotel group, the company concentrates on providing luxury and comfort in a unique and design-led environment but with a focus on comfort and the rooms – eliminating the “extras” that are often not required from a city hotel when one is travelling for business particularly, or for tourism. There are now four Nadler Hotels in total – London Victoria, London Soho, London Kensington and Liverpool. It’s a five star service at four star prices. Really ideal for someone like me, and probably many of your reading this right now – discerning but conscious of cost versus time spent in situ!
Back to the specifics of The Nadler Victoria. First and foremost, the hotel is aesthetically primarily monochrome with a warm and golden glow as you can see from the images below. Robert described it as “the inside of a cigar box” which is a wonderful expression. There are 73 rooms in total, all with cutting edge technology, mini-kitchens, wifi, HDLED TVs, USB sockets for days and all with comfort at the forefront. Really, I couldn’t describe a more ideal pop office if I tried.
If you want to work out, you have access to the local Fitness First, there is a 24 hour concierge, access to St James’ Theatre for breakfast and Victoria as a central location is perfectly ideal for navigating London. All in all, highly recommended!
