Overview
L’oscar, a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts, is an exclusive 39-bedroom luxury hotel and a previously-abandoned architectural gem. The former Headquarters of the Baptist Church has now been fantastically-restored and re-imagined in all its Baroque glory. Once left derelict, this 110-year-old treasure has been subject to a no-expense-spared refurbishment by highly- esteemed French architect and designer Jacques Garcia, of Hotel Costes fame, creating his first London hotel.
Location
Set near Covent Garden, L’oscar is an ideal location for experiencing the heart of the city, where guests can enjoy easy access to a range of luxury boutique, restaurants and cultural hot spots including Theatre land, the British Museum and the Royal Opera House.

Style
L’oscar boasts a spectacular octagonal chapel alongside ornate ceilings, carved fireplaces, oak panelling and magnificently proportioned rooms, all cleverly complemented by a mischievously-talented redesign that adds elegant and unexpected new twists.
Every room is delightfully individual, with extravagant styling, high ceilings, large windows and a wealth of original detail, all personalised and curated by Garcia’s opulent design.
Far from its original purpose, L’oscar promises to be a visual and gastronomic temptation.
