Hotels With a Spa Near Bank and Monument
This page lists hotels with a spa around Bank and Monument stations in the City of London, where the Central, Northern and Waterloo & City lines, the DLR and the Circle and District lines meet. After a day of meetings or sightseeing, a spa in the hotel lets you recover without crossing town. The options run from The Ned London, a minute from Bank, to a group of hotels around the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, such as Novotel London Tower Bridge and Leonardo Royal Hotel London City, and Hilton London Bankside across the Thames.
Bank and Monument sit at the centre of the City, among banks, livery halls and Christopher Wren's churches, with the Monument to the Great Fire of London a few steps from its station. The area is busy on weekdays and quieter in the evening and at weekends. To the east, Tower Hill and the Tower of London lead to Tower Bridge, where several of the spa hotels on this page are grouped.
Where to stay
Pools, saunas and spas around the Tower
Near Bank and Monument, spa facilities vary a lot from one hotel to another. Some combine a spa with an indoor pool and a hot tub, others offer a sauna and hammam, and a few keep it to a smaller spa area next to the gym. If swimming matters to you, filter for a pool first, since not every spa hotel here has one.
The Ned London is the most complete option close to the station. It occupies a grand 1920s building designed by Lutyens, a minute's walk from Bank, and pairs its spa with a pool, a fitness centre, a bar and nine restaurants. This five-star hotel also accepts pets and offers full-service laundry. It holds a 9.0 rating from almost 8,000 reviews, the largest review base on this page. I would choose it for a short business trip, as the spa and pool are on the same site as the restaurants and a minute from the City's offices.
Leonardo Royal Hotel London City, a minute's walk from Tower Hill, is the pick if you want water as well as treatments. It has an indoor pool, a hot tub, a spa and a fitness centre, along with several dining options, and it is described as family-friendly and accessible. It offers classic rooms and suites. It is rated 8.4 by more than 3,700 guests. Across the river, Hilton London Bankside, a short walk from Tate Modern, is a 5-star hotel with an indoor pool, a spa and a fitness centre, plus a restaurant and bar, rated 9.0 from about 3,500 reviews.
For a sauna and hammam, Novotel London Tower Bridge has a spa area with both, along with a fitness centre, a restaurant and a bar. It shares the top rating on this page at 9.2, from more than 4,200 reviews, and it accepts pets. The Novotel's rooms come with free Wi-Fi, and the hotel caters to families. Apex City of London Hotel, near the Tower of London, also scores 9.2, with a spa, a fitness centre, an upscale British restaurant and a bar. Both are smaller in scale than The Ned, which suits travellers who want a spa without the size of a large five-star property.
For longer stays, Tower Suites by Blue Orchid Hotels is an all-suite hotel with a kitchen in every suite, spa facilities, a fitness centre, a bar, a restaurant and room service, a short walk from the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. It is rated 8.6. The Lalit London, set in a historic building near Tower Bridge, has a spa, a fitness centre, two restaurants and two bars, rated 8.8. I would choose Tower Suites if a kitchen matters as much as the spa, and The Lalit if you prefer a historic building with two restaurants and two bars.
A traveler's perspectiveFor a spa stay near Bank, I would book Leonardo Royal Hotel London City if swimming matters, since it combines an indoor pool, a hot tub and a spa a minute from Tower Hill. For the most complete hotel, my choice would be The Ned London, a minute from Bank station, where the spa and pool sit alongside nine restaurants in a 1920s Lutyens building.
