Since windows are not double-glazed, request a room in the quiet rear.

"The very definition of shabby chic, the decor is half high-Victorian, half colonial, with claw-foot tubs and a great deal of red velvet."
Fodor's

DK Eyewitness
"A boutique addition to the West End’s luxury hotels, the Haymarket has subtly colorful, very well-equipped rooms and suites designed with panache."

Gayot
"With the Haymarket Hotel, hoteliers Tim and Kit Kemp continue to corner the boutique hotel market in London."
