Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Book London’s Hard Rock Hotel for just £71 per night, Sunday to Thursday

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

Hard Rock is celebrating the 50% anniversary of its first Hard Rock Cafe, which was the London one, and as part of the event its London hotel is offering 1,971 rooms at £71 each.

For what is still, effectively, a new upmarket hotel just a few seconds from Oxford Street, it is an exceptionally good price.

The rooms are non-refundable, so this isn’t one for you if you are worried about your plans changing.

(EDIT: in 2023 the hotel rebranded as The Cumberland – see the website here.)

Hard Rock Hotel London £71 offer

How do I get my £71 Hard Rock Hotel room?

You need to visit the Hard Rock Hotel London website here.

You need to search for a room on a Sunday to Thursday evening.

The £71 rate will not show. Do not panic!

On the results page, you will see that a new box has appeared by your dates marked ‘Special codes or rates?’. Enter code ‘1971’ and refresh. An additional room option priced at £71 should appear.

When can I stay?

Rooms seem to be available until the end of 2021.

However, the further into the Autumn you go, the harder I found it to get availability later in the week. Sunday and Monday nights were easy to find near Christmas, but not other dates.

What rooms are available?

The ‘Classic’ room, which is fairly small, is £71. The picture above is of a Classic.

By default you are shown ‘Classic Single’. Make sure you toggle to ‘Classic Double’ or ‘Classic Twin’. The price will remain at £71 but you will get a bigger bed – and indeed a bigger room – so do this even if travelling by yourself.

You can pay more for a bigger room and/or better view:

  • Superior rooms are £91
  • Deluxe rooms are £111
Hard Rock Hotel London £71 deal

Do rates include breakfast?

No. This is a ‘room only’ deal. You are not exactly short of options given the location, however.

You won’t earn any points or miles from your stay but – let’s be honest – given the price you can’t really complain.

I’ve never heard of a Hard Rock Hotel in London …..

It used to be The Cumberland. It was fully renovated before reopening as the Hard Rock Hotel in mid 2019.

It still operated by glh Hotels, who also run the Claremont (ex Amba), Thistle and Guoman brands.

The hotel website is here.

    I can’t get this to work for any dates I must be doing something wrong.

  • Diydegsy says:

    Sorry got it working now thanks!

    • SammyJ says:

      What were you doing wrong? I’m having the same problem even after entering 1971 code!

    50th not 50%

  • BSI1978 says:

    Thanks Laura/Rob; care though as now appear to be limited dates remaining, particularly in December.

    Bagged a couple earlier in the week than is perhaps ideal but will hope to organise a couple of meets/drinks around this, and of course some shopping.

    We missed our annual Rules’ shebang last year so this is ample reason to try and make it this year.

    Some history of the hotel (the London one!) at https://manchesterhistory.net/architecture/1930/cumberlandhotel.html

    Tried to stay here shortly after it opened in 2019. Lengthy queue to check in, no air-con in the room and it was a stinking hot day in July. Needless to stay I swiftly checked out – at least a full refund was quickly issued…

    Booked to stay after younger child’s birthday day out (Natural History Museum), went for the £91 Superior option as none of the Park view rooms had twin beds.

  • AndyC says:

    Booked directly with the hotel to stay last year. The pandemic struck shortly after the booking was made. Our full payment was promptly refunded, without question by the extremely courteous management.
