In this guide
Marylebone is the grid of Georgian streets directly north of Oxford Street, running up to Regent’s Park. It has a village high street, the free Wallace Collection, and stations on every side, including the Elizabeth line at Bond Street.
Where you sleep in it matters more than which hotel. The Marble Arch corner is for Hyde Park and the Central line. The village is the quiet middle, a few minutes from the Elizabeth line at Bond Street. Baker Street and Marylebone Road are for Regent’s Park, Wembley trains and the cheapest rooms. Langham Place is the West End edge, five minutes from Oxford Circus.
Most of the hotels below are four- and five-star.
💡 The Short Version: On a budget, The Z Hotel Gloucester Place is £75 for a 14-square-metre room with a window, or £65 without one. In the village, The Mandeville starts at £200 booked direct, two minutes from Marylebone High Street. With children, The Landmark Londonad has family rooms with two double beds and a pool with children’s hours, and Durrant’s has a family room with a separate bunk room for three. For a Wembley event, Dorset Square Hotelad is five minutes from Marylebone station, nine minutes by train from the stadium. For the grand hotel, The Langhamad at about £550, with afternoon tea in the Palm Court.
Which part of Marylebone
Marylebone Village is Marylebone High Street, the curve of Marylebone Lane, Manchester Square and the streets east to Welbeck Street. Daunt Books, the Wallace Collection and the Sunday farmers’ market are here, and Bond Street station is five to eight minutes’ walk south. The Marylebone, Durrant’s, The Mandeville and The Welbeck are in this part.
Portman Square and Marble Arch is the south-west corner, where most of the big hotels are. Hyde Park is across the road, Selfridges and the west end of Oxford Street are a few minutes away, and Marble Arch station is on the Central line. The traffic is heavy where Oxford Street, Park Lane and Edgware Road meet.
Baker Street, Dorset Square and Marylebone Road is the north: Regent’s Park, the Sherlock Holmes Museum, Madame Tussauds, and the widest choice of trains. Marylebone Road is four lanes and loud; Dorset Square, just behind it, is a residential garden square. Chiltern Street is here too; the Chiltern Firehouse hotel on it has been closed since a fire.
Langham Place and Portland Place is the eastern edge, opposite BBC Broadcasting House. Oxford Circus is five minutes’ walk and Soho ten.
Our Marylebone area guide covers what to see and where to eat.

The Marylebone — the one with a pool
Cosy Rooms from £405 · 47 Welbeck Street, W1G 8DN · Bond Street 7 min · Hotels.comad
The Doyle Collection’s five-star, just east of the high street. The deciding fact is downstairs: guests get free use of the on-site Third Space health club, with a gym and a swimming pool.
Rooms run from Cosy Rooms, listed from £405, to terrace suites and a two-bedroom suite; a breakfast-inclusive offer on the hotel’s own site starts at £325. 108 Brasserie has tables out on Marylebone Lane, and dogs are welcome.
Durrant’s Hotel — a family-owned townhouse behind the Wallace Collection
92 rooms and suites · George Street, W1H 5BJ · Bond Street 500m · Check-out 11am · Hotels.comad
A Georgian former coaching inn, owned by the Miller family since 1921, with the Wallace Collection as its nearest neighbour. There are 88 rooms and 4 suites, and the old layout means no two are quite the same.

Cots are £25 a night; extra beds are £50 and fit only the studios and suites. There is no spa or gym, and on-site parking is £40 a day with a 1.70m height limit.
The Mandeville — Christian Lacroix on the fifth floor
From £200 direct · 142 rooms · Mandeville Place, W1U 2BE · Bond Street 5 min · Hotels.comad
A four-star two minutes from the high street and the Wallace Collection. Its own site quotes rates from £200 a night booked direct, and booking there also takes 25% off the buffet breakfast.
Room sizes spread widely, from a Tiny Single of 11 square metres to Executive Doubles of 31 to 34. The fifth floor is the Riviera Rooms, 22 to 26 square metres, each designed by Maison Christian Lacroix, and the Terrace Suite takes the top two floors with its own roof terrace. There is a lift, a ramp at the entrance and accessible rooms. Only two pairs of rooms interconnect, so families should book early.

57–59 Welbeck Street, W1G 9BL · Bond Street 5 min · Hotels.comad
Built in 1907–09 to designs by Boehmer & Gibbs as the Welbeck Palace Hotel, on a street where doctors have practised since 1800. Its basement ballroom was a dance hall between the wars.

About £230 · 28–30 Seymour Street, W1H 7JB · Marble Arch 3 min, Bond Street 8 min · Hotels.comad
A Georgian townhouse, formerly called the Zetter Townhouse, decorated like an eccentric relative’s home. The ground-floor bar, The Parlour, fills with non-residents in the evening, which is the point of staying here for some guests and a reason to ask for an upper floor for others.
Deluxe Doubles are 19 square metres and Deluxe Kings 27. Each of the four Junior Suites sleeps four in 30 square metres, and Lear’s Loft, at 45 square metres, has an outdoor bath on its terrace. There is a lift, but parts of the house are still stairs. Breakfast is extra.

173 and 154–156 Gloucester Place, NW1 6DX · Marylebone station 4 min, Baker Street 5 min · Hotels.comad
Eighteenth-century Georgian houses on both sides of Gloucester Place, with a 24-hour reception and a glass-roofed breakfast room.

118 rooms · 83 Chiltern Street, W1U 6NF · Baker Street 2 min · Hotels.comad

Cots are free for under-twos. Marylebone Road outside is four lanes of traffic. At weekends breakfast is for residents only.

Hotels on Langham Place, by Oxford Circus

About £550 · 1c Portland Place, W1B 1JA · Oxford Circus 5 min · Breakfast extra · check pricesad
Opened in 1865 as Europe’s first grand hotel, opposite BBC Broadcasting House. The Palm Court claims to be where British afternoon tea began, and it books out weeks ahead, so reserve a table when you book the room; our afternoon tea guide covers the sittings.
Artesian is the cocktail bar, Chuan Body + Soul is the spa, and there is a swimming pool. The Wigmore, the hotel’s British tavern, is the cheap way to eat in the building. There are family rooms as well as suites.
Treehouse Hotel London — the top floors, with a view from every room
About £250 · 14–15 Langham Place, W1B 2QS · Oxford Circus 4 min · Breakfast extra · Hotels.comad
The hotel occupies the top floors of a building next to Broadcasting House, so the rooms look out over the city rather than into a light well. The Nest, the rooftop bar, looks across to Regent’s Park and the Shard, and Madera serves Californian-Mexican food.
Rooms are 21 to 24 square metres. The Lookout Two Twin Doubles sleeps four in 24 square metres, and connecting pairs such as the Connecting Skyline Queens give a family 42. A Family Tree package adds breakfast and a teepee set up for the children. Dogs are welcome.
Where to stay just outside Marylebone
Cheaper, by Regent’s Park: YHA London Centralad on Bolsover Street is a purpose-built hostel with dorms and private rooms, six minutes from Great Portland Street and just over the line in Fitzrovia. Our budget hotels guide covers the cheap options across London.
For the airport: Paddington is fifteen minutes’ walk west of The Landmark, with the Heathrow Express and the Elizabeth line.
For evenings out: Fitzrovia and Soho start on the far side of Langham Place. Our Soho and West End guide covers the hotels there, and our Mayfair guide covers the hotels south of Oxford Street. For how Marylebone compares with every other base in the city, see the best areas to stay in London.
Noise, and the quiet streets
Marylebone’s crowds are daytime crowds. The high street winds down in the early evening, and there are no late-night bars of the Soho kind.
The noise is traffic. Marylebone Road carries four lanes past The Landmark and the Baker Street end; Baker Street and Gloucester Place are one-way through routes; and the Marble Arch junction, at the end of Oxford Street, is busy all night. At The Cumberland, Montcalm Mayfair and the Z, ask for a room at the back.
Away from the traffic are Dorset Square, the streets around Manchester Square behind the Wallace Collection, and the side streets off the high street. Our walk from Baker Street through Regent’s Park passes most of them.
Getting in and out
Baker Street has five lines: Bakerloo, Circle, Hammersmith & City, Jubilee and Metropolitan. The Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan run direct to King’s Cross St Pancras for the Eurostar.
Bond Street has the Elizabeth, Central and Jubilee lines. The Elizabeth line runs direct to Heathrow, Paddington and Liverpool Street.
Marble Arch is Central line only. Oxford Circus has the Bakerloo, Central and Victoria lines, and the Victoria line goes direct to Euston, King’s Cross and Victoria. Regent’s Park is Bakerloo; Great Portland Street is Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan.
Marylebone station has the Bakerloo line and Chiltern Railways mainline trains to Wembley Stadium, Bicester Village and beyond.
Heathrow: the Elizabeth line from Bond Street, no change, or the Heathrow Express from Paddington. Our Heathrow to London guide compares the fares.
Typical nightly rates for a double, or each hotel’s own published from-rate where it gives one, checked 24 September 2026. The £ symbols mark a price band where a hotel publishes no rate. Walking times come from the hotels where they give them. Prices move nightly, so check your own dates.
Common questions
Is Marylebone a good area to stay in London?
Yes, if you want a calm central base. You are north of Oxford Street rather than on it, Regent's Park and Hyde Park are both walkable, and Bond Street station puts the Elizabeth line, with direct trains to Heathrow, within about eight minutes of most hotels. The trade-off is the evening: the high street is a daytime shopping street, so for late bars and theatre you walk or ride ten minutes into Soho.
What is the cheapest place to stay in Marylebone?
The Z Hotel Gloucester Place. Its own site lists a windowless Z Inside Queen from £65 and a Z Queen with a window from £75, both 14 square metres, in six Georgian townhouses five minutes from Baker Street. Just outside the area, YHA London Central on Bolsover Street sells hostel dorm beds and private rooms, six minutes from Great Portland Street.
Which station is best for Marylebone hotels?
It depends on the corner. Bond Street (Elizabeth, Central and Jubilee lines) serves the village and Welbeck Street. Marble Arch (Central line) serves Portman Square and Great Cumberland Place. Baker Street, with five lines, and Marylebone, with the Bakerloo line and Chiltern Railways trains to Wembley, serve the north. Oxford Circus is five minutes from The Langham and Treehouse.
Is Marylebone quiet at night?
The side streets are. Marylebone High Street is a shopping street that winds down in the early evening, and there are no late-night bars of the Soho kind. The noise is on the main roads: the four lanes of Marylebone Road, Baker Street and Gloucester Place, and the Marble Arch junction at the end of Oxford Street. Dorset Square and the streets around Manchester Square are away from the through traffic.
Which Marylebone hotels are best for families?
The Landmark London has family rooms with two double beds and a spa pool with children's hours of 9 to 11am and 3 to 5pm. Durrant's family room has a separate bunk room for up to three children. Holmes Hotel London runs a family package in which up to two children under 12 stay and eat free. Nobu Portman Square has a 42-square-metre family room with a balcony, and The Cumberland and The Welbeck both sell rooms with two double beds.
How do I get from Heathrow to Marylebone?
Take the Elizabeth line to Bond Street, which runs direct from Heathrow with no change and is five to eight minutes' walk from the village hotels. For the Baker Street and Marylebone Road hotels, the Heathrow Express to Paddington is the alternative: The Landmark puts Paddington fifteen minutes' walk away, or two stops on the Bakerloo line from Marylebone.
