Victorian-Meets-Contemporary Rooms

The Pillar Hotel offers 31 guestrooms including standard rooms, executive rooms, and suites, set within a Grade II listed building modeled on 15th-century almshouses. Rooms retain Victorian architectural details like ornate woodwork and brick archways while including 32-inch LCD TVs with satellite channels, free WiFi, minibars, air conditioning, and safes. Executive rooms add separate living areas, mini kitchenettes with microwaves, and dedicated workspaces. Many rooms overlook the central grassy quadrangle garden.

Lobby Dining & Kosher Options

The hotel's organic living lobby functions as a daily breakfast room and casual gathering spot with comfortable couches and a wide-screen TV. It serves as a hub for quick snacks and drinks throughout the day. The Pillar Hotel specializes in Kosher-friendly food options and can cater events including Bar Mitzvahs, weddings, and conferences with customized Kosher menus prepared according to Jewish dietary requirements.

Gardens & Event Spaces

The hotel occupies 2 acres centered around a grassy quadrangle garden, accessible from multiple wings. The Citadel event space features original parquet flooring and opens directly onto the quadrangle. A rooftop terrace on the main house tower offers unbroken views toward Central London. The property includes conference facilities with modern refurbishment while maintaining historical character.

North London Accessibility

Located in Hendon, The Pillar Hotel is 0.5 km from Hendon Central Underground station (10-minute walk), providing access to Central London in 20 minutes via tube. It's 9 km from Marylebone and 30 km from London Heathrow Airport. The M1 motorway begins just 5 minutes' drive away. Nearby attractions include Brent Cross Shopping Centre (1 km), Royal Air Force Museum, StoneX Stadium (Saracens rugby club), and Camden Market (6 tube stops away).

Comprehensive Guest Services

Services include free guest parking, EV charging stations, dry cleaning/laundry, wake-up service, and concierge assistance. The hotel offers event planning for Jewish weddings and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs with knowledge of traditional requirements. Business services include conference rooms with WiFi, printing capabilities, and secretarial support. Family accommodations include children's high chairs available upon request.

“Converted from an old monastery, the building retains character with updated bathrooms and helpful staff, even providing personal assistance to guests; its location near Hendon and Golders Green is exceptionally convenient. While there's no midday restaurant, complimentary snacks are available, and special accommodations are made for Shabbat meals. In my view, it's a hidden gem that expertly caters to its guests.”

secure parking modern rooms helpful staff missing iron toilet cleaner expensive price
The hotel provide secure parking I think. Modern rooms features a refrigerator too. The staff are helpful. That was a nice surprise for me.
My room has no iron. I find that a real letdown. There wasn't even a toilet cleaner that I can see. I feel that I was overcharged a bit.

i find the lack of an onsite restaurant quite inconvenient. having to search for food elsewhere was a bit of a letdown. the absence of a bar also limits options for relaxation within the hotel. i think more in-house amenities are needed.
