In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- Most of the bedrooms have freestanding clawfooted baths, Victorian bathroom fittings and antique beds. Baron Willoughby, the junior suite, has a carved-oak bed and big rolltop bath. Jonathan Swift has a luxurious sofa and a 12-inch showerhead. The Duke of Monmouth suite has an outdoor terrace with a retractable roof and enormous water-spouting gold structure on the edge of the bath.
- Packing tips
- A volume of William Hazlitt's essays on city life; a quill and pot of ink to write your own.
- Also
- The hotel has a library where you can pick from the several books before curling up by the fireplace. There's also the Wardrobe, once used to store aristocrats' valuable, now a modern meeting space. Fledgling writers on some form of literary pilgrimage often leave a signed copy of their latest manuscript – guests can borrow these (often first-edition) books.

- Style
- Discreet, distinctive, historic
- Setting
- Insiders' Soho
Part of the considerable charm of Hazlitt's is that, despite its central location, its success is based solely on word-of-mouth recommendations. Spread across three historic houses in the heart of Soho, it takes its name from William Hazlitt, the 18th-century essayist who lived there.
