Review of Treehouse Hotel London

Nestled just steps from the iconic BBC Broadcasting House, Treehouse Hotel London stands as a vibrant lifestyle hotel that blends playful design with elevated hospitality. It’s a property that wins both the head and the heart—especially for those with a passion for pizza, thanks to the legendary Pizzeria Mozza, which consistently ranks among England’s best.

With only 95 rooms—including 12 bespoke suites—Treehouse delivers an intimate, boutique feel. Guests are greeted on the ground floor and seamlessly transported to the 15th-floor reception, reminiscent of the high-rise hospitality scenes in cities like Hong Kong and New York. The guest rooms, perched from the 9th floor upwards, offer panoramic views across London’s dramatic skyline, ensuring every stay is accompanied by unforgettable vistas. 

On the 16th floor, The Nest rooftop bar draws a fashionable crowd, serving as one of London’s premier indoor-outdoor destinations. Its wraparound terrace provides immersive 360-degree views that truly set the bar above the rest. 

Pizzeria Mozza occupies the ground floor, while Madera, the Californian-imported Mexican dining concept, graces the 15th. Both offer innovative, globally inspired menus and are helmed by culinary teams with a reputation for excellence. Madera’s modern Mexican fare is a standout, and together with Pizzeria Mozza, creates a dynamic food scene rooted in Californian creativity. 

Service at Treehouse is both warm and impeccably professional. Staff exude a relaxed confidence, even during peak hours, ensuring guests and locals alike feel genuinely welcomed and cared for.

Since opening in 2019 as part of the SH Hotels & Resorts portfolio—which includes the acclaimed Baccarat and 1 Hotels brands—Treehouse Hotel London has been meticulously designed with a focus on whimsy, sustainability, and guest experience. Every detail, from the eclectic furnishings to the artful guest journey, reflects thoughtful curation. 

While Treehouse has a youthful energy and attracts a cosmopolitan clientele, it remains refreshingly inclusive. During my recent stay, I observed a mix of families, solo travelers, and mature guests—all drawn by the hotel’s attentive service, inventive style, and exceptional cuisine. This is a place where everyone is invited to feel at home. 

Treehouse Hotel London enjoys a coveted address at 14-15 Langham Place, anchoring the northern tip of Regent Street in the heart of Marylebone. 

Flanked by historic landmarks—All Souls Church, designed in 1823, and the storied Henry Wood House, named for the founder of the BBC Proms—the hotel is surrounded by quintessential London character. 

Guest accommodations span floors 9 through 14, with reception and Madera restaurant on the 15th and the celebrated Nest rooftop bar crowning the 16th floor.

Conveniently, Oxford Circus Underground is only a five-minute walk away, connecting guests to the Victoria, Bakerloo, and Central lines for seamless travel across London—whether you’re heading north, south, east, or west. 

Iconic neighborhoods are within easy reach: Mayfair and Soho lie just 15 minutes’ stroll to the south, Regents Park and London Zoo beckon to the north, with Marylebone and Bloomsbury bordering to the west and east. This central location places the very best of London at your doorstep.

Treehouse Hotel London features 95 rooms, including 12 uniquely styled suites, spread across five upper floors starting from the 9th. Upon arrival, guests receive secure keycards at the 15th-floor reception, with lifts programmed for enhanced privacy and security. An express elevator, available during select hours, offers swift access from the ground to reception for a seamless check-in. 

Each floor is equipped with a filtered water station—ideal for refilling your reusable bottle before exploring the city. In-room taps dispense potable water, in line with the hotel’s eco-conscious ethos.

The true highlight of every room is the stunning cityscape visible through oversized windows. Whether facing the BBC and Langham Place or overlooking the South Bank and City, guests are treated to sweeping, uninterrupted panoramas—best enjoyed from the signature window sofas. This immersive perch is a hallmark of the Treehouse experience, and has become a trendsetter in London hospitality. 

Room categories include the Fort King (23 sqm), Lookout King, Lookout Two Doubles, Skyline Queen, Skyline King, connecting Skyline Queens (40 sqm), Studio Suite (37 sqm), Clubhouse Suite, and the spacious connecting Clubhouse Suite & Lookout Twin (61 sqm). Options accommodate solo travelers, couples, friends, and families, all with varying perspectives of the city. 

Interiors are whimsical yet refined. During its extensive transformation, the design team introduced vibrant cuckoo clocks, playful cushions shaped like sloths and mushrooms, vintage oil lamps and globes, and retro record players (with a delightfully eclectic selection). A plush Paddington Bear greets every guest, adding a touch of London nostalgia. The bedside magic 8-ball is a quirky touch—always encouraging a pizza order! These thoughtful details create an atmosphere that’s both charming and distinctive.

Guests are welcomed with artisanal cakes and sweet treats as an amenity.

Only five suites feature bathtubs, but all rooms boast large walk-in showers—spacious enough to move freely and designed with tree-inspired accents. Amenities are hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, and provided in generous, sustainable glass bottles. The signature hand and body cream is exceptionally nourishing. Towel quality is plush and fragrant, with bathrobes and slippers provided in all categories. 

Complimentary tea and coffee facilities are available, while minibar items are premium-priced. As with many luxury hotels, minibar indulgence is best reserved for those with generous travel budgets or late-night cravings!

Beds are supremely comfortable, with high-thread-count linens, fluffy duvets, and supportive mattresses ensuring restful sleep.

In-room technology includes widescreen TVs with a broad channel selection and effortless streaming from personal devices.

Rooms are inventive, cozy, and memorable—though the open-plan shower rooms may not suit those seeking maximum privacy. The window sofas, perfect for people-watching or cloud-gazing, are a signature delight and are rapidly being emulated by other upscale hotels. 

Treehouse is both child- and pet-friendly, welcoming families and four-legged companions alike!

Treehouse Hotel London forgoes traditional spa, pool, and gym facilities, instead curating a wellness experience through local partnerships. Guests have access to a nearby Pure Gym, and the concierge can arrange spin classes at Psycle or private training sessions on The Nest’s rooftop terrace before opening hours. For those who prefer the outdoors, Regent’s Park—just a short stroll away—offers lush green space ideal for jogging or dog walking. 

In-room wellness is thoughtfully considered, with three exclusive video workouts: Hotel Room HIIT, Barre at the Bar, and Bedtime Yin. These digital classes cater to various fitness levels and are designed to enhance guests’ wellbeing throughout their stay.

The ground floor serves as the gateway to the Treehouse experience, featuring a cozy library, communal table, and a welcome station. While the neighborhood is bustling with artisanal coffee shops, the hotel’s own barista team on the 15th floor crafts exceptional coffee served with genuine warmth. Friendly staff are always on hand to assist, offering helpful local insights—often with a touch of British humour. The former Backyard coffee shop space is being transformed into an expanded reception and lounge area in 2025, enhancing the arrival experience. 

Early risers will appreciate the tranquil atmosphere outside the main entrance—perfect for soaking in London’s rhythms before the city awakens. 

Treehouse regularly hosts seasonal events and creative packages, such as themed staycations and pop-up experiences, reflecting the playful spirit for which the brand is known.

Pizzeria Mozza offers hands-on pizza-making workshops—a must for culinary enthusiasts. The hotel also curates a rotating calendar of events, from oyster shucking and book swaps to art installations. Visit the official website for the latest happenings. 

Sustainability and art are integral to the hotel’s identity. Recent collaborations include an eco-focused installation with Italian artist Luca Gnizio, whose works—crafted from upcycled materials—are displayed throughout the property. These partnerships reinforce Treehouse’s commitment to environmental stewardship and creative expression.

Unique amenities include an “honesty rack,” where guests can swap pre-loved jeans and have them personalized by textile artist Chloe Amy Avery—a nod to the hotel’s focus on bespoke, sustainable luxury. 

The address at 14-15 Langham Place boasts a storied heritage.

Originally, the site housed the Queen’s Hall, opened in 1893 by architect Thomas Knightley and renowned as the birthplace of the Henry Wood Proms. The hall welcomed maestros like Ravel, Debussy, and Richard Strauss, and was celebrated as the “musical heart of the British Empire.” The enduring connection to the BBC and the Proms remains evident, with neighboring Henry Wood House honoring this legacy. 

In 1941, the Blitz left Queen’s Hall in ruins—a single incendiary device reduced the beloved venue to rubble, sparing only a bronze statue of Sir Henry Wood.

The present 15-story structure, once the Saint George’s Hotel, was a modest four-star property best known for its 15th-floor Heights Restaurant and sweeping views of London’s festive lights. The BBC provided a steady stream of guests, and the space was a popular haunt for media professionals. 

After a comprehensive overhaul, Treehouse Hotel London opened in 2019, unveiling stripped-back walls and ceilings that embrace the building’s original character with a fresh, modern twist.

The visionary behind the brand, Barry Sternlicht—founder of W Hotels and owner of Westin and Sheraton—has also launched the celebrated Baccarat and 1 Hotels brands, with the latter’s London outpost debuting in 2023.

Treehouse Hotel embodies sustainability with a playful, collaborative energy. The guest journey is defined by whimsical design flourishes—window sofas, vibrant cuckoo clocks, and Paddington Bears—appealing to guests across generations. Staff address guests by their first name, cultivating an atmosphere of genuine hospitality and inclusivity. The sense of community here is palpable and truly memorable. 

Treehouse Hotel London may not carry a Michelin star, but its culinary offering rivals some of the city’s best. The hotel’s restaurants and bars are acclaimed for their diverse, creative menus and the passion of their culinary teams.

London’s food scene is famously competitive, yet both Madera and Pizzeria Mozza distinguish themselves with generous, flavorful dishes at approachable prices. The chefs here could easily hold their own in the capital’s most prestigious establishments.

Let’s take a culinary tour, starting from the rooftop down:

The Nest – This rooftop bar & lounge is open daily from noon, with a late-night license that extends to 1 a.m. (11 p.m. on Sundays). Reservations are essential, especially during the summer months. After 5 p.m., the space is reserved for adults 21+. On busy weekend evenings, a minimum spend applies for hotel guests, but the investment is rewarded with spectacular panoramic views over London. 

The Nest’s laid-back yet stylish vibe is matched by a menu of craft beers, signature cocktails, and globally inspired small plates. The Strawberry + Cream cocktail—a contemporary Wimbledon tribute—is a standout. On weekends, the resident DJ sets the tone, and Sundays welcome canine companions for a popular “Drinks on the Woof” afternoon. The terrace is a coveted spot year-round, and this season, Laurent-Perrier rosé is the featured pour.

Madera – Located on the 15th floor, Madera brings modern organic Mexican cuisine to London, with a focus on fresh, sustainable ingredients. Open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a lively weekend brunch, Madera offers both à la carte and set menus, with vegetarian and vegan options always available. The “Rocks” hot lava stone dishes are a must-try, and the breakfast menu puts a playful spin on classics. Pork-free, the kitchen instead highlights beef, chicken, and turkey. Coffee is expertly brewed and worth the splurge.

Room Service – Menus are accessed via the in-room television system, offering the hotel’s exceptional cuisine around the clock. While local takeaway is an option, the in-house dining is a clear highlight—especially the pizzas.

Pizzeria Mozza – This ground-floor gem has earned a cult following among London pizza aficionados. Created by celebrated chef Nancy Silverton and helmed in London by Nikko Crisostomo Marquez, the kitchen turns out wood-fired pies of impeccable quality. Mozza’s dough, toppings, and technique are consistently excellent, and the open kitchen adds to the lively ambiance. The Prosciutto di Parma pizza is a personal favorite, and seasonal starters like Cauliflower Fritti and Prosciutto with Mozzarella di Bufala are always executed to perfection. Italian sandwiches and a small pasta selection round out the menu, and desserts—especially the strawberry cake and gelato—are not to be missed. 

Guests are treated to a complimentary limoncello at the end of their meal, a delightful tradition that adds a final flourish to the experience.

Service can be occasionally inconsistent, but the food and atmosphere more than compensate, making every visit memorable.

For those seeking a culinary adventure, the “Climb the Tree” experience lets you savor dishes at Pizzeria Mozza, Madera, and The Nest in a progressive tasting journey—available Tuesday through Saturday. Alternatively, you can “Slide Down the Tree” with Champagne at The Nest, a signature dish at Madera, and finish with pizza and gelato at Mozza. However you dine, Treehouse Hotel London delivers a truly exceptional gastronomic experience. 

Sustainability is woven into every facet of Treehouse Hotel London, a hallmark of the SH Hotels & Resorts group. From the property’s adaptive reuse to the sourcing of amenities and culinary ingredients, environmental responsibility is at the core of the guest experience.

The hotel rigorously tracks its energy and water usage, with monthly reviews to identify new efficiencies. In partnership with The Foodprint Group, Treehouse eliminates single-use plastics, opting instead for reusable, recyclable, and compostable alternatives. Water leak sensors are installed throughout the building, automatically adjusting heating, cooling, and ventilation to minimize waste. An on-site food digester further reduces organic waste.

Public spaces are furnished with upcycled and vintage pieces, sourced from markets and curated for both style and sustainability.

Digital innovation minimizes paper consumption, with the hotel’s app facilitating guest services and communication.

Room keys are crafted from sustainably sourced wood. 

Each floor features filtered water stations for reusable bottles, and guest bathrooms are stocked with eco-friendly amenities in refillable glass containers. Linens and towels are refreshed upon request, reducing the environmental impact of laundry. 

With its verdant design, eco-forward amenities, and mindful operations, Treehouse Hotel London sets a benchmark for green hospitality in the city. Here, sustainability is not a marketing slogan—it’s a guiding principle. 

• Central Location — Having started my career at the BBC, I’ve traversed Langham Place countless times. With Oxford Circus just a five-minute stroll, Mayfair a quarter-hour away, and London Zoo within easy reach, Treehouse Hotel London is perfectly positioned to explore the capital’s best. Whether you’re shopping on Bond Street, unwinding in a chic bar in St James’s, or dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Mayfair, everything is accessible from this urban oasis. Museums, boutiques, and local attractions are all at your fingertips from Treehouse’s doorstep.
• Exceptional Service — The hospitality at Treehouse Hotel London matches the highest standards in the city, but with a refreshingly informal touch. I appreciate being addressed by my first name, receiving personalized messages, and enjoying tailored recommendations—like a whisky suggestion or a casual music chat. Inclusivity is at the heart of the experience, welcoming guests of all backgrounds and styles.
• Inventive Guestrooms — Contrary to popular belief, I don’t always occupy the largest suite during reviews. My stay in room 1013 had everything I required—except a bathtub! I spent time admiring the playful decor, interacting with my Paddington Bear, enjoying the tech features, and most memorably, lounging on the window sofa as the city unfolded below. Treehouse delivers a truly unique and memorable escape.
