“Hotel Indigo London - 1 Leicester Square places you squarely in the heart of the action. The 1920s Shanghai-themed rooftop bar offers striking views-though service can be inconsistent. The location earns high marks, matched by an engaged staff, while uniquely themed rooms reflect the area's theatrical roots.”
