Chateau Denmark is truly a sanctuary for hedonism. Nestled in a vibrant locale, this rock ‘n’ roll haven welcomes revelers to indulge in the whims of its lavishly designed Session Rooms and Apartments. With chest-thumping sound systems, distinctive black rubber floors, and attentive private butlers, guests are invited to fully immerse themselves in a world of pleasure. Read on for a comprehensive review.
The hotel occupies storied music industry spaces once graced by rock legends, including The Rolling Stones, Elton John, Jimi Hendrix, and the Sex Pistols. This bold homage to British music culture is reflected in the decor, with some accommodations featuring rockstar maxibars, perfect for those eager to embrace the unapologetic spirit of rock ‘n’ roll in the very place where much of it originated.
Where is Chateau Denmark?
Conveniently located in the heart of the city, Chateau Denmark is just a 45-minute ride from Heathrow Airport via the newly opened Elizabeth Line. Nestled at the edges of the lively Soho district and mere steps from the retail mecca of Oxford Street, the hotel’s position is as dynamic as its atmosphere.

Room Types
Discretion takes a backseat at Chateau Denmark. The Superior Session Rooms showcase punk-inspired furniture adorned with graffiti, while the Luxury Session Rooms boast rich burgundy velvet headboards and sleek black faux-leather sofas. The Deluxe Session Rooms elevate indulgence further with gold-painted bondage gear on the walls, balconies with superb views, and maxibars stocked with an impressive selection of spirits, fine wines, and an enviable champagne fridge filled with Ruinart, Dom Perignon, and Krug. For those seeking ultimate opulence, the Apartments come equipped with expansive ‘mini’ bars, freestanding bathtubs, fireplaces carved with devil motifs, and wardrobes designed to resemble church confessionals—perfect for guests who embrace their vices. Music aficionados will want to snag the Lofthouse Apartments, located in the building where The Rolling Stones recorded their groundbreaking debut album.
Restaurants and Bars
During my visit, guests at Chateau Denmark had the opportunity to dine at the glamorous Tattu, a celebrity-frequented, Chinese-inflected establishment perched on the rooftop of the Now Building. Alternatively, the hotel’s personal butlers stand ready to guide guests to local culinary gems, from Michelin-starred dining to treasured 300-year-old pubs. Be it a 3 a.m. pizza or a restorative 3 p.m. breakfast, these attentive aides ensure that guests’ cravings are met, day or night.
Spa and Gym
While Chateau Denmark whimsically defines wellness as an in-room maxibar that even rock legends might find daunting, plans are underway to unveil a dedicated fitness and wellness area later this year. In the meantime, guests can engage with wellness programming from virtual provider Earth + Sky through their in-room televisions. Personal butlers are also on hand to assist with access to nearby gyms and wellness centers.
Travel for Work
When the creative minds at Chateau Denmark are in work mode, they’re more likely to be crafting songs or movie scripts than tackling sales projections or spreadsheets. As a result, the hotel doesn’t feature traditional conference facilities; however, a 2,000-capacity live venue is set to open later in 2022, perfect for those seeking creative inspiration.
Sustainability
Chateau Denmark is mindful of its environmental impact, with bathroom amenities crafted by local company Soapsmith from recycled ocean plastic. The linens, towels, and robes, along with the staff’s striking purple attire, are made from eco-conscious materials. Cleaning products, as well as the mattresses, duvets, and pillows, boast a low carbon footprint, sourced from within the UK and Ireland. The linen and towel suppliers actively support the Better Cotton Initiative, promoting sustainable farming practices.
