When traveling to London, what could be better than after a busy day of walking the city streets and shopping in the malls to return to your stunning room and soak in gentle water that relaxes not only your muscles but your mind as well. The best hotels in London provide incredible hot tub experiences for their guests, from beautiful in-room bathrooms to outdoor Jacuzzis.

Of course, there are also plenty of spas in London that offer a full range of services, including hot tubs, but here we'll focus exclusively on the hotels that will help you forget about everything and soak in the pleasant water until you're in a state of complete relaxation.

1. Corinthia London

One of the best hotels in London that is sure to appeal to lovers of chic hot tubs is located in the heart of the city, close to Trafalgar Square and Whitehall. The Corinthia is a luxury hotel that features a health pool with air and water massage jets alongside the usual one. It is part of a sophisticated, state-of-the-art full-service spa, including a steam room, sauna, nail salon, and Daniel Galvin hair salon. All rooms are in the luxurious style befitting a grand hotel, but the cherry on the cake is the Whitehall Penthouse with its private terrace with fireplace and large chess pieces. There's a British restaurant and bar, and afternoon tea is served in the lobby.

2. St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel

The advantage of this five-star hotel is its location, which is great for travelers. It is located on the riverbank in the same building as St. Pancras International Station. It is easily accessible by metro and Eurostar high-speed train. The elegant hotel will delight its guests with two restaurants and a bar, as well as luxurious rooms with ceiling-to-floor windows, state-of-the-art entertainment systems, and spacious bathrooms. The Renaissance ranks among the best hotels in London with Jacuzzis thanks to its elegant spa and relaxation pool, but in addition, some rooms have private hot tubs. The hotel's restaurant, Banyan on the Thames, serves an excellent grill menu, and you can spend an evening with a cocktail at the stylish riverside Rafayel Bar.

3. Bermondsey Square Hotel

If you're looking for stunning hotels in London, head to Bermondsey to take in the city panorama from your own private outdoor hot tub. Bermondsey Square is a new hotel with a deliberately kitschy feel and decor, located in a redeveloped square. Each of its deluxe lofts is named after a heroine of a psychedelic rock classic (Ruby, Lucy, Jude, Lily, Eleanor). Some rooms are complete with private terraces, Japanese baths, and hammocks. Jacuzzi lovers should book the Lucy Suite with a multi-person hot tub and stunning views of the South Bank, the London Eye, the City, and the Thames. Visit the famous antique market in Bermondsey nearby, before returning to relax in the bar lounge area.

4. K West Hotel & Spa

The K West Hotel has serious rock 'n' roll credentials: before this place started taking overnight travelers, it was home to a BBC recording studio and guests have included many celebrities including Bob Marley, Bryan Ferry, David Bowie, and The Kinks. But K West isn't just known for its musical past (and present: a full-time DJ is playing until dawn every Friday and Saturday), it's also known for its stunning award-winning spa. It offers a variety of treatments, including an herbal steam room, but the highlight, which puts it in the top of the best hotels in London with hot tubs, is the hydrotherapy pool with built-in loungers. The hotel is currently under renovation and is set to unveil its updated version in 2025.

5. Hotel Cafe Royal

The historic Café Royal, located on Regent Street, reopened in 2012 already as a hotel. But the place has retained the glamor of its French roots from when it first opened in 1865. Today it's a boutique hotel with 160 rooms and luxury suites, with restaurants and bars that reflect the building's heritage, and a chic spa that honors the Café Royal with a spot on our list of delightful hotels with Jacuzzis in London. The spa features an 18-meter swimming pool, the city's first Watsu pool heated to 35 degrees, a Vichy shower with heads ranging from gentle to invigorating, a stunning hammam for scrubbing treatments, and, naturally, a gorgeous hot tub.

6. The Westin London City

If you're looking for great hotels in central London where you can end a busy day with a relaxing soak in a hot tub, stay at the five-star The Westin, which has its spa including pools, ice fountain, steam room, etc. There's also an indoor pool, bar, restaurant, and fitness center, so you don't have to leave the hotel at all if you're looking for a short weekend in the British capital. It's a short walk from St. Paul's Cathedral and offers great rooms with en-suite bathrooms with bathrobes, while for a chic company or family vacation, you can book the three-bedroom Cadogan Residence with incredible amenities. On the 4th floor of the hotel is the Westin Club, an exclusive area for relaxed lounging with snacks and soft drinks throughout the day.

7. The Landmark London

Once inside, you might think you've entered a glamorous Golden Age hotel in Los Angeles, particularly because of the central atrium, dubbed the Winter Garden, with palm trees and a Victorian glass ceiling. It's a great place to sit in company over afternoon tea or snack on Mediterranean and British fare. One of the last grand hotels in London has the appropriate luxury amenities, from children's bathrobes and a play tent in family rooms to a soothing pool and cozy spa with Jacuzzi. Fans of the latter will appreciate the spa's hot whirlpool bath, heated to 34 degrees, as well as aromatherapy rooms and mosaic-tiled steam rooms.

8. Karma Sanctum Soho Hotel

Thebest hot tub hotels in London aren't just limited to exquisite spas. For example, a boutique hotel in the heart of Soho offers a different experience. Karma Sanctum has transformed a former MI5 research building into a stylish club with a rock 'n' roll vibe and bold decor: a palette of dark hues, decorative lamps, rotating beds, and more. Room amenities include a top-of-the-line sound system, a huge selection of movies, and a stocked minibar. But it's much more fun to enjoy a drink at the 24-hour residents-only bar. It's compact and stylish and opens onto a stunning split-level terrace, where you can admire the cityscape while enjoying a dip in the outdoor Jacuzzi.

9. Shangri-La Hotel at The Shard

Gorgeous views and exceptional rooms put this off-the-beaten-track spot at the top of London's best hotels, but in our case, it's also interesting for its stunning Shangri-La suite, with a spa bath and an array of luxuries, from a Bose sound station to Acqua Di Parma products in the marble bathroom. The ceiling-to-floor windows at this hotel, which occupies the 34th through 52nd floors of The Shard's famous glass spire, are truly panoramic, so you'll have city views – from the glittering terminals of Heathrow Airport to the outskirts of Epping Forest – wherever you go, even while lounging in your room's bubble bath. Enhance your experience of the surrounding luxury with a visit to London's highest champagne bar, GŎNG, at approximately 182 meters.

10. Montcalm East

This is the type of hotel that will appeal not only to hot tub lovers but also to tourists and business travelers: it's in the heart of east London, right on City Road, a couple of minutes walk from the Old Street tube, which takes you to the Eurostar terminal at St. Pancras and King's Cross station in 10 minutes. The hotel has 269 well-planned and technically equipped rooms, and its 17th floor is home to the main local attractions: a restaurant, sauna, indoor pool, and spa where you can soak in the bubbling waters of the Jacuzzi and forget you're just yards from the Old Street traffic circle. The surrounding area offers a good selection of restaurants and lively bars.
