Whether cheering from the sidelines this April or planning a 2027 race entry, Hyatt’s hotels in London have rooms available minutes from the London Marathon course.

The 2026 London Marathon returns on Sunday 26 April, with tens of thousands of runners set to take on the iconic 26.2-mile route from Greenwich to The Mall. But for the million-plus hopefuls who missed out on a place this year, attention is already turning to 2027’s ‘Double London Marathon’ – proposed to allow up to 100,000 participants to run over two days – with the public ballot expected to open the Friday before the race.

For those planning ahead, four Hyatt hotels across central London are positioned along key stretches of the marathon route, from the iconic Tower Bridge crossing to the final sprint down The Mall. If you’re looking to book early for a 2027 entry, each property offers something distinct for marathon visitors.

Below, spokespersons from each hotel share their perspective on why their location is worth considering for marathon weekend, and what makes each property a strong base for runners, supporters and spectators alike.

Which hotels put you right on the marathon route?

Of the four Hyatt properties, Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars has the most direct connection to the course. The hotel sits directly outside Blackfriars station, at the exact point where runners emerge from the Blackfriars underpass at mile 24, one of the race’s most dramatic moments.

Mohammad Labban, General Manager, Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars, says: “At mile 24, the runners are in the hardest part of the race, and the crowd energy as they come up out of the underpass and onto the Embankment is extraordinary. For spectators, you can step outside and be in the thick of it within seconds.”

The Grade II listed hotel, set on the former grounds of Henry VIII’s Bridewell Palace, is also a short stroll from the Thames, St Paul’s Cathedral and the Tate Modern, offering plenty beyond the race itself for a full marathon weekend.

Rooms at Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars typically start from £350 per night over marathon weekend. Book via this link for best available rates.

Tower Bridge is another defining point of the London Marathon, roughly halfway through the race where runners cross the Thames to a wall of noise. Andaz London Liverpool Street, Hyatt’s five-star lifestyle hotel in the City, is a short 15-minute walk from both Tower Bridge and the Tower Hill spectator area, one of the official cheer points on the course.
