Tucked into the elegant edge of Regent’s Park and a short stroll from London’s bustling transport hubs, Meliá White House is a masterclass in blending heritage architecture with contemporary comfort. This 1930s Grade II-listed building has been brought lovingly up to modern luxury standards. The hotel is quietly confident, never showy — the sort of place that lets quality speak for itself.
Rooms & Suites: Elevated Comfort with a Sense of Place
From the moment you step into one of the Meliá White House’s guestrooms, there’s a clear commitment to calm, convenience, and understated design. Standard rooms offer everything you’d expect from a quality four-star stay — rainfall showers, plush bedding, and ergonomic workspace. However, in the suites and Level Rooms, the hotel starts to flex a little more muscle.
The suites, particularly The Level Executive Suite, are tailored for guests who want space and smart sophistication without excess fuss. Expect a generous living area, premium linens, upgraded amenities, and floor-to-ceiling windows that let in soft, natural light. These spa-like bathrooms are stocked with Meliá’s aromatic products. Furthermore, the nightly turndown service adds a little quiet theatre to your evening return.
Design & Decor: A Quiet Nod to Art Deco London
The original 1930s bones of the building have been cleverly preserved. Think fluted columns, geometric patterns, and the warm glow of brass detailing — all reinterpreted in a muted palette. This palette feels more modern Madrid than maximalist Mayfair. Public areas are spacious, flooded with light, and punctuated with lush plants and curated artworks. These elements lend the space an international yet distinctly European charm.
The lobby functions as both a social space and a thoroughfare. Here, guests linger over coffee or slip into Arado, the Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, for small plates and good wine.
Location: Leafy Calm, Urban Connection
There are few hotels in London with this mix of peace and proximity. On one side, you’ve got Regent’s Park, one of the most beautiful green spaces in the city — ideal for morning jogs, leisurely strolls, or, as we’ll mention later, dog walks. On the other side, just a short walk away, you’ll find Euston, King’s Cross, and St Pancras International. This location makes Meliá White House an ideal base whether you’re arriving from Manchester or Marseille.
Business travellers, tourists, and families alike will appreciate just how accessible the wider city is from this address.
Gym & Wellness: Functional and Focused
Though not a full-service spa, the hotel’s 24-hour gym is well-equipped and impeccably maintained. It’s geared toward guests who like to keep their routine going on the road. Think high-tech treadmills, a range of free weights, and resistance machines. Furthermore, there is ample floor space for stretching or mat workouts.
There’s no sauna or pool, but for a pre-meeting burn or post-flight reset, the gym delivers exactly what’s needed.
The Level Lounge: A Members’ Club Without the Membership
For those booking The Level rooms and suites, the eponymous Level Lounge is a standout perk. Marketed as “London’s first members-style hotel service without the need for a membership,” it’s a bold claim that holds up. The lounge is a relaxed, contemporary space, ideal for casual meetings or an early evening unwind.
Access includes:
- Complimentary tapas-style snacks
- Sweet treats and premium soft drinks
- A selection of beer, wine and bubbles
- All-day coffee and tea
- Personalised concierge services
- Space for quiet work or leisurely reading
It’s a generous offering, and the relaxed but polished service makes it feel a little more like home. Imagine your home had an unlimited snack bar and good Rioja on tap.
Now Welcoming Four-Legged Guests: Meliá Goes Dog-Friendly
And now for the latest tail-wagging news: Meliá White House is officially dog-friendly. The hotel has introduced a new pet policy, allowing guests to bring their dogs for an additional £50 per night. It’s more than just a tick-box gesture — the in-room pet experience is thoughtfully curated.
Each dog-friendly room includes:
- A personalised welcome letter for your pup
- A comfy dog bed and sustainably sourced toys
- Organic dog food and fresh water on arrival
- Protein-packed snacks by ethical pet brand Edgar & Cooper
- Biodegradable waste bags
Canine guests are also welcome in Arado restaurant (after breakfast hours) and in the Level Lounge. Here, they’ll find fresh water and a welcome as warm as their owners receive. For travellers arriving into London, especially via nearby stations, it’s an ideal option: roll off the train and head straight to Regent’s Park. This park is rated one of the UK’s top spots for dog walks.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re travelling for work or a weekend escape, solo or with the full family (dogs included), Meliá White House offers a polished yet personal stay. It’s not flashy — and it doesn’t need to be. With its art deco charm, elevated services like The Level, and now a newly dog-friendly ethos, it’s a hotel that quietly leads by example in the capital’s crowded hospitality scene.
