Where to stay near Apollo Theatre

For a characterful stay with food and things to do on site

Ham Yard Hotel is about 2 minutes’ walk from the Apollo Theatre. The hotel website describes 91 individually designed bedrooms and suites, alongside 24 residences, with interiors by Kit Kemp. For a night around Shaftesbury Avenue, it is a useful choice if you want the stay itself to have a strong sense of place: the same site lists a restaurant, outdoor terrace, orangery and bar, plus a rooftop garden and terrace. The Croc, its bowling alley, lounge and bar, is also listed as available daily.

For more space, Ham Yard Residences is about 3 minutes’ walk away. The residences page describes options with separate living and dining areas and fully equipped kitchens; some also have private terraces and more than one bedroom. That makes this the practical pick among the candidates for friends or family who want to gather before or after a show rather than simply retire to a bedroom.

For a calm, compact base close to the theatre

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus is about 2 minutes’ walk from the Apollo. Its website presents windowless, soundproofed “Cocoons”, with room types ranging from solo accommodation to rooms sleeping up to eight. The listed features include en-suite showers, filtered air, gentle lighting and free high-speed Wi-Fi. The site also says the hotel is one minute from Piccadilly Circus Underground station, and places it close to West End theatres, so it suits a show-led stay where a quiet, deliberately simple room is the priority.

For a central hotel with fitness facilities

Montcalm Piccadilly Townhouse is about 3 minutes’ walk from the Apollo, at 65–73 Shaftesbury Avenue. The hotel describes itself as a Georgian townhouse with 67 individually designed rooms and suites, and says every stay includes access to its Urban Fitness Centre. Its published check-in time is 15:00 and check-out is 11:00. The location page calls it steps from Piccadilly Circus, while the hotel’s own description places Leicester Square and Chinatown within an easy walk—useful context for arranging dinner or a drink around the performance.

For rooms in the Leicester Square area

W London is about 3 minutes’ walk away. Marriott’s hotel page lists 192 rooms and suites, with suite features including a dedicated tablet for controlling lighting, temperature, entertainment and spa bookings. For a night out, the on-site choices are unusually direct: W Lounge is described as a social dining spot with South American-inspired shareable dishes, while The Perception is a bar with cocktails, music and events programming.

Leicester House Hotel is also about 3 minutes’ walk from the Apollo, at 1 Leicester Street. Its own website lists double rooms, a standard double and Suite Emille, and describes modern amenities and comfort-focused accommodation for leisure stays. Its London guide specifically includes the Apollo Theatre among nearby attractions. The site gives room sizes and stated occupancy for several room types, including a 14 m² double room for two guests and a 27 m² Suite Emille for two.
