A Dazzling Stay at The Hippodrome Casino Hotel
Hey, adventure seekers! Ava and Theo here, fresh from an electrifying stay at The Hippodrome Casino Hotel in London’s vibrant Leicester Square. This iconic casino hotel blends old-world charm with modern excitement, making it a perfect base for our UK adventures. From luxurious rooms to a buzzing entertainment scene, here’s why we fell in love.
Checking In: Urban Chic
We checked into a premium room overlooking the bustling square. The sleek décor, plush bedding, and rainfall shower screamed sophistication. The staff were all smiles, offering us a welcome drink—Theo went for a craft beer, while Ava sipped a lavender-infused mocktail. The room’s minibar had British treats like shortbread biscuits, which we devoured while planning our night.
The Casino Experience
The Hippodrome’s casino floors were a spectacle. With six levels of entertainment, from classic table games to high-tech arcade machines, the energy was contagious. We wandered through, mesmerized by the chandeliers and live music. Theo challenged Ava to a virtual racing game, and let’s just say the victory dance was epic. The vibe was more about fun than high stakes, perfect for us.
Dining and Nightlife
Dinner at the Heliot Steak House was a foodie dream. The ribeye, cooked to perfection, paired beautifully with a glass of British red wine. The truffle fries were so good we ordered seconds! After dinner, we caught a cabaret show at the Hippodrome’s theater. The performers’ energy had us cheering, and we stayed late, sipping cocktails at the rooftop bar.
Exploring Nearby
The hotel’s central location meant we could stroll to Covent Garden and Trafalgar Square. We also popped into a nearby patisserie for afternoon tea—scones with clotted cream are our new obsession. The Hippodrome’s 24/7 vibe kept us entertained, but the cozy room was a haven after long days exploring London.
Why We Loved It
- Foodie Heaven: The steakhouse and local treats were divine.
- Vibrant Entertainment: The casino and shows kept us buzzing.
- Prime Location: London’s best sights were steps away.
