The Mandrake
A theatrical Fitzrovia hotel with lush courtyards, artist-led interiors, Waeska and Jurema bars, and South American-inspired YOPO dining.
The Mandrake is not the hotel you book when you want beige calm. It is Fitzrovia with feathers, foliage, art and just enough darkness to make a nightcap feel inevitable.
A greenery-stuffed restaurant, marble touches, evocative lighting, eclectic art and jasmine-and-passionflower courtyard walls. Soho, the West End and Oxford Street are on the doorstep, with Waeska and Jurema as destination bars and YOPO as a South American-inspired restaurant. The art, culture and design programme is an ever-changing backdrop for artists, performers, exhibitions and events.
That is the correct frame: The Mandrake is part stay, part stage set. Rooms lean moody, public spaces lean botanical, and the whole property seems designed for travellers who would rather be intrigued than soothed into sameness.
Book The Mandrake when London needs a little theatre and you are willing to meet it halfway. It is not quiet luxury, exactly. It is considered mischief with very good lighting.
