From the day it opened in 1982, London’s Barbican Centre, a Grade II Listed building, has been hailed as a triumph of design and the Thistle City Barbican Hotel is at the heart of what is Europe's largest arts hub: home to the London Symphony Orchestra, it also plays host to all kinds of music, theatre, dance and exhibitions.

And whatever you have tickets for, there’s not much debate about the best place to stay, either. Thistle City Barbican is just a short walk away, so you won’t have far to go if you end up sitting through half-a-dozen encores or curtain calls. With 13 meeting rooms, the largest seating 120 theatre-style, Thistle City Barbican is an ideal venue for business meetings; we even provide a courtesy shuttle service to the City and its tube stations. And when you’re done watching the markets or listening to Mozart, our Otium Health & Leisure Club has all the facilities and equipment you need to relax and unwind. And who can argue with that?

If you are opting for a West End show, then access to theatreland is via Barbican or Morgate Tube Stations taking 30 to 45 minutes total journey time depending on which theatre you are going to.
