Other Farringdon Accommodation Options

Now, in addition to the hotels mentioned above, I did want to include a few other properties in Farringdon. They aren’t traditional hotels, so they aren’t quite what I wanted to include in this post – but they are options if they fit better with your travel plans and style.

• Ruby Stella Hotel – This is a brand new property in the Farringdon area – as such I didn’t feel like it was ready to be included in the full list, but I hope to add it in the future!
• The Rosebery by Supercity Aparthotels – If you’re looking for more than just a hotel, aparthotels are a great option, and this is one of two options in the area.
• Sonder Back Hill – Sonder properties are like upscale, well-managed, won’t-screw-you-over Airbnbs, and they have two locations in the Farringdon area. This one is called Black Hill and has light and airy industrial loft-type rooms…
• Sonder St Johns Garden – …and the St. John’s Garden Sonder features more jewel tones and mid-century design elements. Both options are beautiful if that’s your preferred accommodation type.
• Citadines Barbican – Citadines is the other aparthotel option in Farringdon; they have locations around the city.
