Clubby Georgian glamour in Clerkenwell

The Zetter Clerkenwell channels a Georgian townhouse into something closer to a private salon, where low-lit corners and theatrical vintage touches set a warm, witty mood. Days slide into nights in the scarlet Parlour, an aristocratic drawing-room style cocktail lounge for classic drinks and small plates. Retreat to rooms that trade bland minimalism for confident pattern and texture, with freestanding baths taking pride of place in select spaces.
VIP Access

  • Destination cocktail lounge

    The Parlour’s apothecary bar nods to Clerkenwell’s distilling past.

  • British tea with a twist

    Choose from two afternoon tea menus with an eccentric, British point of view.

  • Guided Clerkenwell walk

    Follow local layers from medieval springs to repurposed warehouses and the Barbican.

The Zetter is a charming, comfortable, and welcoming place to stay. It is tucked away from the hustle of tourist London, and still very convenient to transport and activities. The staff is wonderful and the casual, open experience of the lounge/lobby is like no place I've been. We hope to return soon.

The Zetter was wonderful! The staff were extremely attentive. The rooms are large for London (sitting area and very large bathroom). The lobby/lounge area was amazing, especially the fireplace. The neighborhood was safe and clean and the Farringdon underground station is a five minute walk. The food at the Zetter is first-rate and there are several good restaurants in the neighborhood. We will definitely stay again.
