L'Oscar London - A theatrical 5-star boutique hotel in a converted Baroque church with opulent Parisian design and an illuminated Onyx bar

Set in a grade II listed Baroque-style former church in Holborn, L'Oscar London blends historic architecture with dramatic Parisian interior design by Jacques Garcia. The 39-room boutique hotel features theatrical details like stylized peacock motif doors, mirrored ceilings in the Baptist Bar, and eclectic objets d'art throughout. Rooms range from Superior accommodations with marble bathrooms to the Duplex Suite with panoramic city views and split-level layout. L'Oscar Restaurant serves contemporary cuisine beneath illuminated onyx and gilded panels, while afternoon tea is hosted in the original Baptist Church headquarters. The hotel is located near Covent Garden, within walking distance of the British Museum and Royal Opera House, with access to multiple underground stations including Holborn and Russell Square.

Pros

The historic church conversion features striking original details like plastered high ceilings and oak paneling.

The Duplex Suite offers balcony views of London's rooftops and a speakeasy-inspired bathroom.

L'Oscar Restaurant provides all-day dining beneath mirrored ceilings with an illuminated onyx bar.

The onsite Baptist Bar serves champagne in hollow-stem coupes with butterfly wing tap details.

Central location provides easy access to Theatreland, Covent Garden, and the British Museum.

The historic building lacks a spa or fitness center, though gym passes are provided to nearby Gymbox.

Limited bathtub availability, with only select suites and the L'Oscar Suite featuring deep-soaking options.

underwhelming experience

limited menu street noise
i was disappointed by a few aspects of my stay. the minibar was not restocked daily. additionally, the room service menu was limited, especially for late-night options (i was hoping for more variety after a long day). the room also had some noise issues, especially from the street. i could hear traffic quite clearly throughout the night. it affected my ability to sleep comfortably.
