After a long day at work (or buzzing in and out of the stores of London's exceptional shopping scene), stepping into a warm, bubbling hot tub to soothe those muscles – not to mention the mind and soul – is something we can surely all get on board with. And London has hot tubs in all shapes and sizes: outdoor, indoor, perched on rooftops – yes, seriously, the city has it all. There’s something for just about everyone.

Our cherry-picked list contains all of the above and more – think lavish tubs on private terraces, state-of-the-art hydrotherapy and bubbling vitality pools. Of course, London also has plenty of incredible offering the full whack, but if you’re simply looking to soak until you resemble the most peaceful prune in the world, these hotels will have something for you for sure.

How we curate our hotel lists

Headed up by editor Joe Mackertich, our team at Time Out London spend their time reviewing hotels all over the Capital – new openings, old classics and everything in between – to bring you fresh, honest recommendations, all year round. Along with our pool of trusted hotel experts, every hotel on this list has been individually reviewed and selected for a reason: we’ve been there, we think it’s great and we’d genuinely recommend it.
