The Melita – A Favorite for Families in London
About the Hotel

The Melita occupies two 19th-century townhouses on a quiet street in Pimlico. Rooms range from compact singles to family quarters sleeping four, with private bathrooms featuring mosaic details and walk-in showers. All include WiFi, satellite TV, and linens supplied by the Queen's official outfitter. Superior rooms add contemporary design elements.
Complimentary Morning Offerings
Guests receive takeaway Italian coffees, premium teas, and homemade pastries from 7:30-9:00 in the lounge. Multiple cafes serving full breakfasts are within a 5-minute walk, including O'Sole Mio Italian restaurant adjacent to the property.
