Between the world-famous British Museum, views of the River Thames, and rides on a classic double-decker bus, exploring London is always a thrill. After a day of sightseeing, NoMad London, a boutique hotel inside a restored 19th-century magistrate’s court, serves as a chic bucket list escape. Nestled in the heart of Covent Garden, the hotel overlooks the Royal Opera House and leaves a lasting impression with its expertly curated on-site art collection. The concierge can help score hard-to-find dinner reservations (key in a city that’s brimming with Michelin-starred restaurants) but be sure to experience NoMad Restaurant, where you’ll have an eclectic meal highlighting regional ingredients and an extensive wine list. Another can't-miss experience? Grabbing a nightcap at Side Hustle, the hotel’s art-filled speakeasy set inside a former police station.
