The California is not your usual. A quiet, comfortable, and cosy base with buzzing King’s Cross on the doorstep, our hotel is made of London townhouses stitched together, and decorated with a patchwork of eclectic styles.
You’re always welcome here
Each of our 61 rooms is different, and we have a range of sizes to suit all needs.
Find your perfect fit
Refuel and relax at our bar and lounge, where you can grab a snack or warm pastry (baked freshly every day), wind down with a stiff drink, work away on your laptop, or step outside for a summer’s evening on the terrace.
