Arcore Premium Apartments Fitzrovia
First Impressions
Arcore Premium Apartments Fitzrovia sits tucked away on Tottenham Mews, one of those charming cobblestone streets that feels like a little secret in the heart of London. When I first walked up to the building, I honestly didn’t expect much from the unassuming exterior — but that’s the thing about these converted mews properties, they save all the good stuff for inside. The four-star rating makes perfect sense once you step through the door and realize this isn’t your typical hotel experience.
The Neighborhood Advantage
Fitzrovia is one of those areas that locals love but tourists often overlook, which actually works in your favor. You’re literally a three-minute walk from Oxford Street if you need that shopping fix, but when you want to escape the crowds, you can duck into Charlotte Street for some of the best independent restaurants in central London. The British Museum is practically around the corner, and I mean that — it’s maybe a seven-minute stroll through these lovely Georgian streets.
The Apartment Experience
What struck me most about staying here is how much space you get compared to typical London hotels. Each apartment feels like someone’s actual home rather than a sterile hotel room. The kitchen isn’t just for show either — it’s properly equipped with everything you’d need to cook a real meal, which is brilliant when you’re tired of eating out every night. The living areas have this modern-meets-classic London vibe, with high ceilings and large windows that let in surprisingly good light for central London.
Practical Touches That Matter
The housekeeping team really knows what they’re doing — everything’s spotless, but more importantly, they stock the apartments with quality basics that you actually want to use. The Wi-Fi is fast (crucial for anyone working remotely), and there’s proper air conditioning, which you’ll appreciate during those unexpectedly warm London summers. I also noticed they provide decent coffee and tea supplies, not the usual hotel sachets that taste like cardboard.
Why Guests Love It
It’s the combination of space, location, and that feeling of living in London rather than just visiting that keeps people coming back. The 9.5 rating reflects what I experienced — it’s one of those places that gets the details right without making a big fuss about it. You’re staying in a beautiful part of the city, you’ve got room to breathe, and honestly, the price point makes sense when you consider what you’d pay for a cramped hotel room elsewhere in Zone 1. It’s particularly perfect for longer stays or when you’re traveling with someone and need a bit of space to spread out.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
