Check out the Victory House, London Leicester Square, MGallery by Sofitel!
Victory House, London Leicester Square is the latest MGallery boutique property opened in the UK. Designed in partnership with renowned architects Michaelis Boyd, the hotel’s interior has been carefully curated to emulate the rich cinematic history of its landmark location.
In addition to Leicester Square’s iconic cinematic history, the rich heritage of the building has influenced the hotel’s interiors. Victory House retains its original 19th century terracotta façade and stands as an unwavering icon within the ever-evolving Leicester Square. Originally built in early French Renaissance style in 1898, by leading theatre designer Walter Emden, Victory House was previously known as Hôtel de l’Europe, with a Parisian brasserie renowned in its heyday as a popular dining spot in the West End. The building’s distinct character is evident throughout the design of the hotel, where understated nostalgia meets sleek modernity.
Victory House, London Leicester Square boasts 86 stylish and contemporary bedrooms, including nine suites, which are fully soundproofed to create a quiet haven in the buzz of London’s film district. With an unparalleled view over Leicester Square, each room also offers a luxurious and memorable front row view when one of the red carpet’s many film premieres is taking place below. Victory House has officially launched the restaurant, Petit Bistro, operated by Ed Baines and Jamie Poulton, the founders of legendary London restaurants. The property’s central location is also perfect for exploring London’s sights, theatres and shopping hotspots. Victory House is within walking distance of Soho, Covent Garden, Piccadilly Circus and St. James’s, allowing guests to experience the capital’s most impressive landmarks including Buckingham Palace and Westminster.

Its architecture, design and services are inspired by “Serenity”, one of the hallmarks indicative of the MGallery brand. At the heart of the resort is the Rayya Wellness Centre offering an uplifting relaxation and rejuvenation experience. The property also features four exceptional dining concepts promoting healthy gastronomy, serving an array of nutritious food and beverage varieties made from local, organically-sourced products.
