Chateau Denmark: A Weekend in London Done Right

If you’re planning a summer weekend with the lads or treating your other half to something special, Chateau Denmark should be top of your list. Tucked away on the legendary Denmark Street in Soho, this little gem is where London’s rebellious past meets five-star luxury.

Set across 16 historic buildings, Chateau Denmark is home to 44 standout rooms and apartments. The design is next-level. From graffiti-splashed statement beds and roll-top baths on marble plinths, to tartan blinds, curved velvet sofas and carved fireplaces. Some rooms go big on vintage gothic drama, others nod to punk energy, but every one of them brings serious character and comfort.

Take the ‘I Am Anarchy’ duplex for example; a mews house once linked to the Sex Pistols, complete with black gloss furniture and Johnny Rotten artwork. Or go all out in the Flitcroft Apartments, where you’ll find four-poster beds, balconies, and views of St Giles-in-the-Fields Church. It’s rock history meets refined living, with no detail spared.

Evenings start in style at Thirteen, the hotel’s headline bar. Inside, you’ll find plush interiors, a grand teal chesterfield, and a cocktail list that’s anything but ordinary. The Japanese-inspired menu features everything from crispy chicken inside-out rolls to fresh poke bowls, served across 60 indoor covers and 40 more on the terrace.

The atmosphere? Slick and vibrant. DJs, live performers, and bold cabaret evenings bring the space to life without ever tipping into chaos. And if you fancy something more intimate, head downstairs to dial8 — a secret bar made for private parties, industry meet-ups, or just stretching the night a bit longer with a properly mixed drink.

Right in the heart of the Outernet district, you’re steps from guitar shops, live music venues, immersive art experiences and late-night food spots. Whether you're staying for the weekend or longer, Chateau Denmark makes central London feel like your own private playground.

The Loaded verdict: If you’re after a summer escape with a bit of grit, a lot of style, and zero faff — this is how you do it.
