According to STR Global Hotel Data, London’s Southbank hotels are currently outperforming Mayfair in occupancy rates for Spring 2026.
The shift is driven by a desire for “Culture-Adjacent” stays.
STR Global highlights that hotels like Sea Containers and Art’otel are attracting a younger, high-net-worth demographic.
As the STR audit reveals, the proximity to the Southbank Centre and Tate Modern is now a bigger draw for the “Experience Traveler” than the traditional prestige of W1.
