Good God! The Waldorf Hilton's New Bar Is Open

Where: Aldwych, London, United Kingdom, WC2B 4DD

With so many new London hotels opening up and old hotels opening new bars, spas, suites and restaurants it's hard to keep up. But boy do we try!

Last week we nipped into The Waldorf Hilton's new bar and lounge Good Godfrey's. The bar is named after Howard Godfrey the former celebrity leader of the ‘Waldorfians’ the Waldorf House band in the 1920s.

We have to admit we weren't overly impressed with the decor, it felt a little too plain almost like something was missing. The cocktails however we did like, the cocktail list plays homage to the hotel's theatrical past by offering cocktails such as the "Gaiety Girls" and "Stage Door Johnnies". There are also a couple of novelty drinks, the Hot Gin Punch which is served in a large silver teapot and the Astor Hip Flask which is served in a branded hip flask.

Waldorf Hilton Rooms are 'Small But Nicely Done'

Where: The Aldwych, London, United Kingdom, WC2B 4DD

Mrs. Limestone dropped this photo of a room at the Waldorf Hilton in London into the HotelChatter Flickr Pool describing it as "small but nicely done." Indeedy that looks pretty cramped but we are liking the interesting light fixture. Still you don't get much room for your money. Rates start at around $465.
