- Sauna and steam room
- Complimentary bicycles
- Near Trafalgar Square
Our take
Travellers staying here will find an indoor pool that pairs well with genuinely central sightseeing, since Trafalgar Square and Big Ben are both within easy walking distance. Families using the interconnected rooms and complimentary bicycles get real value from the layout. Guests wanting a quiet, low-key stay away from major landmarks should look further out, since this location trades quiet streets for proximity to the main sights.
- ✓Take the complimentary bicycles out for a morning ride before using the pool, it is a nice way to see the river.
- ✓Book a river-view room if it is available, not every room at Corinthia London faces the Thames.
- ✓Walk to Trafalgar Square after your swim, it is roughly four hundred metres from the hotel.

Why guests love itThe interconnected rooms made this an easy choice for our family, and the indoor pool became the default plan most afternoons once the kids tired of walking. Embankment station being three minutes away meant we never worried about the Tube schedule cutting into pool time. We took the complimentary bicycles out one morning along the river, a proper local thing to do rather than a typical hotel activity. Dinner covered everyone's preferences without much negotiation, and Trafalgar Square was an easy walk afterwards.
