I stayed at the ‘lost’ hotel of London with luxe bedrooms and secret cocktail menu
LOST Property, part of Hilton’s fancy Curio Collection, has a very specific theme: the lost history of London.
Read on to find out everything from the restaurant menu to room prices.
Where is Lost Property hotel?
The Lost Property St Paul’s London hotel is in the heart of the city of London, and just a few minutes from it all.
There’s St Pauls Underground Station which takes you to all of the top attractions, and of course the stunning St Paul’s Cathedral right outside.
It is also right by the City Thameslink line which takes you directly to both London Gatwick and London Luton Airport.
What is the hotel like?
While unassuming from the outside, the interiors are a glam slap in the face.
From the Murano glass lights casting a cosy glow in the lobby, to the fun herringbone carpets throughout, it’s almost tempting you to take pictures of it.
You may not even notice the image of Winston Churchill or the inspiring quotes subtly emblazoned on the wall in reception.
But take a closer look at and you’ll find little treasures hidden all over this 145-bedroom hotel.
Make sure to look down when heading to the lift, for some fun photo-taking opps…
What are the rooms like?
Ranging from Queen and King rooms to Junior Suites, the rooms are drenched in rich jewel tones of burgundy and navy.
The herringbone patterned carpets and red marble countertops were a masterclass in luxury, with gold fittings and mood lighting for when the sun goes down.
The marble bathroom was just as impressive, with fancy Urban Apothecary toiletries.
The rooms have it all – delightfully squishy beds, a stocked mini bar and some even come with a view of St Paul’s Cathedral.
Don’t want to be disturbed? Hang on your door the “Kindly Get Lost” sign for some peace and quiet.
Rooms start from £184 a night. See hilton.com.
What is there to eat and drink there?
A dinner at the hotel’s Found Bar is a must.
Combining French and British classics, the watermelon vichyssoise was the perfect dish to cool me down in the heat.
The beef ribeye was cooked to perfection, while the zesty lemon posset cut through it perfectly.
Ask for the cocktail menu too, which leans into it’s theming of being lost – complete with am ’empty’ menu and a laser pen to help you find the cocktails.
For breakfast, head to the front of the hotel to Tattle Coffeehouse.
Drinks are made with Monmouth coffee, some of the best in London (and best chased by a freshly baked and flakey croissant…)
What else is there to do there?
For those that fancy a workout, there’s a very nice gym with Peloton bikes and treadmills.
They sit under large windows in the ceiling so you can soak up the natural light while you cycle.
The hotel is a short stroll from some top tourist attractions like the Tate Modern (15-minutes walk), the London Eye (30-minutes walk) and Somerset House (18-minutes walk).
Is the hotel family friendly?
There’s everything from kids menus at the restaurant to connecting family rooms and cribs on request – so definitely family friendly.
Is there access for guests with disabilities?
There is lift access to all floors as well as step-free access to the restaurant and accessible adapted rooms.
