Details on three recommended hotels near to the Phoenix Theatre in London, where Blood Brothers the musical is currently showing.
Blood Brothers is one of the longest-running musicals in West End history, having captivated audiences since 1988 and still continuing to do so. The musical originally opened in London at the Noel Coward Theatre in 1988, known as the Albery at the time, where it was later transferred to the Phoenix Theatre in 1991 where it is still showing today, making Blood Brothers the longest-running show ever at this particular theatre. The Phoenix Theatre is located on Charing Cross Road in the heart of Theatreland, near to both Leicester Square and Tottenham Court Road tube stations, and close to most of London’s main attractions such as the bright lights of Piccadilly Circus and the shopping district of Oxford Street. If you have or are considering purchasing tickets to see Blood Brothers the musical at the Phoenix Theatre, then you may also be considering which hotel to stay at, if you are visiting from outside of London. As the theatre is so centrally located, there are endless options and choices of hotels. This can make the search for the right place to stay in rather difficult, however, so how do you begin to decide where to stay?
Hotel review sites such as Zoover.com and Tripadvisor.co.uk are great at helping to decide where to stay. With reviews from people who have previously stayed there, a real sense of what the hotel is like is expressed, with little details added that the hotel’s official websites would not have put on their site. If the service was bad, the reviews will tell you that. If the staff were exceptionally friendly, the reviews will mention it. If looking on one of these websites, be sure to research thoroughly to ensure that the hotel suits all of your needs. If, however, you are struggling on choosing the right accommodation, then we have chosen three from three different star-ratings and budgets to suit every traveller coming to London to see Blood Brothers the musical.
A three-star hotel with great reviews is the Seven Dials Hotel, which is a small, family-run B&B, especially known for its friendly atmosphere. Located in Covent Garden, the hotel is a 5 to 10 minute walk from the theatre, and features sound-proofed rooms, creating a tranquil environment in the heart of London. Guestrooms are not particularly large, however, and those with limited mobility should take note that there are currently no lifts installed in the hotel. Breakfasts consist of English fry-ups and cereals. Reviews by previous guests at the hotel give it 8 out of 10 which is excellent for a three-star hotel.

If proximity to the theatre is high on your list of priorities, then the four-star 18th Century hotel, Hazlitt’s, named after essayist William Hazlitt’s, is only 300 metres away from the Phoenix. Tucked down a side street, Hazlitt’s is close to all of London’s main attractions, with the shops of Oxford Street a short stroll away. Guestrooms at this hotel are rather small, yet charming and well-equipped, and are decorated in dark mahogany furniture, with oil paintings dotted around the walls. Over 100 reviews on Tripadvisor have given this hotel 4.5 out of 5, and you can look on the Hazlitt’s official website for more information and to book: http://www.hazlittshotel.com/
You may be thinking about splashing out on a top hotel for your trip to London, and if so, the five-star St Martin’s Lane Hotel is a great choice as it is so different to other Central London five-stars due to its modernity. Located close by to Leicester Square and Covent Garden, the Phoenix Theatre is only a ten minute walk away, making the location and the luxury of the hotel perfect for a visit to see Blood Brothers. Guestrooms feature high-definition, flat-screen TVs and bay windows with panoramic views of London. St Martin’s Lane also features 24 hour room service and a fully-equipped gym. Based on over 300 reviews of the hotel on Tripadvisor, previous guests have given the hotel 4 out of 5 stars.
