Hazlitt's is a townhouse hotel located at 6 Frith Street, Soho, London, in very close proximity to Soho Theatre. The building is Georgian and dates back to 1718,[1] four storeys, with typical long Georgian-bay windows painted in beige. Owned by Peter McKay and Douglas Blain, it is named after the essayist William Hazlitt who died in the house in 1830; he has a blue plaque on the wall to the left of the front door.[2] Due to its heritage, the hotel is popular with writers,[3] but also artists, leaders, actors and models.[4][5] It was awarded the César Award for London Hotel of the Year by The Good Hotel Guide in 2002.[2]
The hotel has 30 rooms – 3 singles, 24 doubles, 2 junior suites and 1 suite. The rooms are furnished with four poster beds, antiques and old paintings and the bathrooms contain claw-footed baths.[3] The hotel contains over 2,000 paintings and prints.[4] The rooftop of the hotel has been used for photoshoots.[6]
