The Other House Covent Garden: One Address, No Decisions

This year, The Other House opened its second spot in Covent Garden, following the same vibe as their South Kensington location. There are 146 apartment-style Club Flats, each with a kitchenette, plus a private members' club downstairs, a vitality pool, treatment rooms, and a gym. You pay one rate, stay in one address, and don’t have to stress about where to grab breakfast, where to work on your laptop, or where to unwind late at night. The South Kensington spot proved the idea worked. Now, Covent Garden makes it feel like a real choice.

What the Concept Really Means
Most hotels give you a room and some facilities you might have to book separately or pay extra for—or might not even get access to. The Other House flips this on its head. Each Club Flat has a kitchenette, perfect for those nights when you just want to skip the restaurant hassle after a long day. The members’ club isn’t some fancy add-on—it’s actually the heart of the building, right on the ground floor.

This setup works because it removes a kind of stress hotels usually overlook. It’s not about checking in or out. It’s all those little choices that pile up and turn your stay into a chore instead of a break. Where should you work? Is the hotel restaurant worth it? Can you get into the gym without awkwardly fumbling for a key card? The Other House sorts most of that before you even arrive—that’s what their model is really about.

Why Covent Garden?
South Kensington was a smart place to try this out, it’s full of long-stay visitors, professionals, and close to institutions and creative hubs that bring people back again and again. This spot, nestled between the City and the West End, offers easy access to St Pancras for international travel and has a rich cultural vibe—perfect for someone looking for a real address, not just a hotel room. That difference is key. An address means something lasting. A hotel just means a place to stay when there’s availability.

The Other House isn’t trying to be just another serviced apartment. What sets it apart is the members’ club feel. With its lounge and vitality pool, even if you’re only there for a couple of nights, it feels more like you’re part of a club you temporarily live in, not just renting a room. That mental shift is huge, and London clearly likes it. This mix of hotel and residents’ club is what everyone opening in April 2026 seems to be betting on, and The Other House is the one going all in.

Here’s the thing about access: Club Flats cost more than standard rooms because they come with kitchenettes and full club access. If you’re staying just one night, the price difference might not matter much. But if you’re there for three nights or more, having a kitchenette can totally change the game when it comes to deciding whether to eat in or go out in central London. Plus, the members’ club isn’t just for guests—you can join separately, which means the place builds a community that uses its ground-floor amenities even when the rooms aren’t full. That’s a smart way to keep income steady beyond just hotel bookings, and it’s a model worth paying attention to.

What This Means for How You Choose

Usually, when picking a hotel, you think about loyalty points, how close it is, or if the restaurant’s worth trying. The Other House doesn’t really fit into that usual way of thinking—and that’s the point. It’s more about the experience than the usual transaction. You’re not just booking a room; you’re choosing a stay where the place adapts to your schedule, not the other way around.

For women who often move between cities, it’s not about the hotel down the street. It’s more like picking a membership club, a spot you can drop into between meetings. The Other House offers both. South Kensington showed it could work. Now, with Covent Garden, it’s got the perfect spot to become a regular thing.
