The 6 Best Hotels near Oxford Street

Where to sleep when you want London's busiest shopping street at your door but a quiet room to come back to.

In short: our top picks are The BoTree London, Curio Collection by Hilton, The Mandrake and The Marylebone. 6 places in total, chosen on merit, with the full reasoning below.

Oxford Street itself is mostly shopfronts and bus lanes, so the smart move is to stay on the streets just behind it, in Marylebone, Fitzrovia and Soho, where you can walk to the flagship stores in minutes and still hear yourself think at night. The pull of this patch is that you are a short stroll from Selfridges, the theatres and three tube lines without paying full Mayfair prices. We have picked across the range, from a design-led Hilton on Marylebone Lane to a compact, well-run budget room in Soho. Each one earns its spot on rooms, food or a genuinely useful location rather than a postcode.
