London hotels with a jacuzzi or hot tub
If you want a jacuzzi at a London hotel, the four on this page have one in the spa, not in the room: Hotel Café Royal's Akasha spa on Regent Street lists a jacuzzi beside its 18 m lap pool, Bvlgari in Knightsbridge has an oversized hydro tub next to a 25 m pool, and Corinthia near Embankment and the Four Seasons at Ten Trinity Square both have vitality pools with water jets. None of the four publishes a private jacuzzi in its rooms, so a search for an in-room hot tub in London needs a different approach. Guests rate the four at 9.32 out of 10 on average across 1,427 reviews.
The four spas here sit in four very different parts of London: Regent Street for Café Royal, Knightsbridge for Bvlgari, the river near Embankment for Corinthia, and Tower Hill for the Four Seasons at Ten Trinity Square, beside the Tower of London. That spread means you can pick the hot tub by the area you want to be in after dark, from theatreland to the City.
Where to stay
Choosing the spa for your hot soak
In London, a hot tub is a spa feature far more often than a room feature. Hotels put whirlpools and vitality pools in basement spas next to saunas and steam rooms, and the result is a shared soak with opening hours and rules for children. Knowing which kind of warm water you will get, and when you can use it, decides whether the hotel fits your evening.
Want a real jacuzzi, named as such? Hotel Café Royal's Akasha spa lists a jacuzzi alongside a sauna, a steam room and a Carrara marble hammam, with an 18 m lap pool and a smaller Watsu hydrotherapy pool. It is the most complete wet area on this page and sits under Regent Street, a few minutes from Piccadilly Circus, with eight or nine treatment rooms around it depending on the guide. Akasha welcomes day visitors who book a treatment or a day-spa package, so it is also the option for someone staying elsewhere who just wants a hot soak.
Prefer a hot tub next to a long pool? Bvlgari's spa in Knightsbridge pairs an oversized hydro tub and a steam room with a 25 m swimming pool, the longest of the four. That combination suits someone who swims first and soaks after. The hotel is about five minutes' walk from Harrods, so it works for a shopping day as well. Bvlgari has allowed visitors to use its facilities with a treatment, but for a guaranteed evening soak I would stay in the hotel. Of the four, it is the hot tub I would pick for a swimmer.
What is a vitality pool, and is it the same thing? Corinthia's ESPA Life and the Four Seasons at Ten Trinity Square both have a vitality pool: a warm basin with hydrotherapy jets, closer to a large shared jacuzzi than to a swimming pool. At the Four Seasons, it sits beside an indoor lap pool, steam, sauna and a hammam suite, with spa facilities listed from 6.30 am to 8 pm. At both, under-16s need an adult with them. If the word jacuzzi matters to you, ask what the vitality pool is like before booking.
Looking for a jacuzzi in your room? None of these four hotels publishes a private in-room jacuzzi, so the honest answer is that a bath-with-jets room in London is usually found in suites at other properties or in short-let apartments. If a shared hot tub will do, Akasha's jacuzzi is the clearest match here. For an evening by Tower Bridge and the river, the Four Seasons vitality pool is the alternative, a short walk from Tower Hill station. Ten Trinity Square's spa also offers Moroccan hammam treatments, a warmer alternative to a jacuzzi on a cold evening.
A traveler's takeFor a named jacuzzi, I would book Hotel Café Royal and plan the soak after a treatment at Akasha, where the jacuzzi, hammam and 18 m pool share one floor. For swimming then soaking, I would choose Bvlgari and its 25 m pool with the hydro tub beside it. For a City trip near the Tower, the Four Seasons vitality pool is the one I would use, accepting that it is not called a jacuzzi. I would not book any of these four expecting a jacuzzi in the bedroom: none of them advertises one.
Hot tub / jacuzziFour Seasons Hotel London at Tower Bridge
Spa pool inside Ten Trinity Square, steps from Tower Bridge
Why guests love itWe picked this Four Seasons for the Tower Bridge views and the spa turned out to be the better surprise. Eight treatment rooms meant we never waited for a slot, and the pool itself felt calm even with the hammam and sauna running next door. Ten Trinity Square is a genuinely striking building to walk back into after a day at the Tower of London. Dinner at Mei Ume closed out two of our three nights without leaving the hotel.
Hot tub / jacuzziHotel Cafe Royal
A real lap pool inside a Regent Street spa built for lengths
Why guests love itThe Akasha spa sold us on this stay before the rooms did. Lengths in the lap pool most mornings, then the jacuzzi and Hammam once the legs gave out, all before the shops on Bond Street had properly opened. Regent Street stays busy outside, lively for some and loud for others, but the spa itself stayed quiet even mid-morning. Dinner at the two Michelin star room capped the stay properly.
Hot tub / jacuzziBvlgari Hotel London
A 25-metre pool and jacuzzi minutes from Harrods
Why guests love itWe came for the pool length and it delivered, 25 metres is genuinely rare among London hotels and it made mornings feel like part of the holiday rather than an errand. The jacuzzi next door handled the recovery, and Harrods being five minutes away meant the afternoons filled themselves without much planning. The Three Keys polish shows everywhere, down to the private cinema we used on our last night instead of going out again.
Hot tub / jacuzziCorinthia London
Indoor pool and sauna three minutes from Embankment
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.
Local tips
- 1Akasha at Hotel Café Royal lists a jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and marble hammam on the same spa floor as its 18 m lap pool.
- 2Not staying at Café Royal? Akasha accepts day visitors who book a treatment or a day-spa package, the simplest route to a hot soak off Regent Street.
- 3Bvlgari's hydro tub sits beside a 25 m pool; swim your lengths first, then use the tub, as both are in the same spa in Knightsbridge.
- 4At the Four Seasons at Ten Trinity Square, spa facilities are listed from 6.30 am to 8 pm, so an evening soak has to start well before 8.
- 5At Corinthia's ESPA Life and the Four Seasons spa, under-16s must be accompanied by an adult, which matters if teenagers want the warm pool.
- 6For a private jacuzzi in your room, none of these four advertises one; ask any hotel to name the room type with a jetted bath in your booking.
