Looking at each of London's 41 Fine Hotels + Resorts properties one at a time in the Amex Travel portal probably isn’t the best use of your time. We used FHRMaxxer, nextcard's Amex hotel map and it displayed a citywide low of $455 a night at Nobu Hotel London Portman Square.

TL;DR

• Cheapest London FHR rate we found: $455 a night at Nobu Hotel London Portman Square.

• London has 41 participating FHR properties.

• FHR has no minimum stay, so a single night earns the full benefit package and counts toward the statement credit.

• Average nightly prices range from $561 at Nobu to $3,773 at The Savoy, and the lowest-rate dates hover around the start of the new year.

How to find the cheapest FHR hotels in London

Start with FHRMaxxer instead of the Amex Travel portal. It plots every participating London Fine Hotels + Resorts property on one map and shows nightly pricing across your dates, so you can compare 41 hotels in one view instead of running 41 separate searches.

Full disclaimer here that these rates aren’t live and just what we found at the time of writing this.

Once you have a shortlist, compare flexible dates. The lowest observed rate appears on a different night from one property to the next, so the calendar view is more useful than relying on a single search date.

Finish your booking in the Amex Travel portal. FHRMaxxer prices reflect the dates checked and can change before you book, so confirm the rate, room type, participation, and cancellation terms on AmexTravel.com or through the Platinum Travel Service.

Cheapest FHR Hotels in London

The table below shows the six cheapest London Fine Hotels + Resorts properties, with the corresponding date and average nightly price for each. Full pricing for all 41 properties is on FHRMaxxer.

Nobu Hotel London Portman Square: from $455

Nobu Hotel London Portman Square had the lowest rate of the six, and it’s $75 below the next property per night. It sits on Portman Square in Marylebone, a few minutes' walk from Oxford Street and Hyde Park.

Nobu is smaller than most nearby FHR properties, but its restaurant, 50-seat terrace bar, and relatively cheaper price, more than makeup for being a bit smaller.

Park Hyatt London River Thames: from $530

Park Hyatt London River Thames brings a modern riverside option to London's FHR lineup. The hotel is in Nine Elms on the south bank, near Battersea Power Station and river transport into central London.

The 203-room hotel opened in October 2024 inside a 42-story glass-and-limestone tower and participates in World of Hyatt. Nine Elms sits farther from the West End's theaters and museums than neighborhoods such as Mayfair or Soho.

The Londoner: from $532

The Londoner is a contemporary high-rise built around the energy of the West End. It is on Leicester Square near West End theaters and the Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square Tube stations.

Opened in 2021 by Edwardian Hotels, The Londoner has 350 rooms across 16 stories, taller than most central London FHR properties, with a rooftop bar and six dining concepts.

The Langham, London: from $537

The Langham favors a traditional grand-hotel atmosphere over contemporary minimalism. It is on Portland Place near Regent Street and Oxford Circus, within walking distance of Marylebone High Street and the West End.

The Langham opened in 1865 and retains the traditional grand-hotel format, with afternoon tea service and a full spa.

L'oscar London: from $542

L'oscar stands apart as an independent, highly styled Holborn boutique. The hotel occupies a converted Baptist Church headquarters, built in 1901 and redesigned by French architect Jacques Garcia, on Southampton Row in Holborn, between the British Museum, Covent Garden, and the City.

L'oscar is an independent 39-room boutique property, so the booking does not add a separate hotel loyalty program on top of the FHR benefits.

NoMad London: from $621

NoMad London combines a Covent Garden address with a dramatic historic conversion. It occupies the former Bow Street Magistrates' Court and Police Station in Covent Garden, opposite the Royal Opera House and a short walk from the Covent Garden Tube station.

The Grade II-listed building houses 91 rooms along with restaurant, bar, and event spaces. Its central location puts Soho, Leicester Square, and the River Thames within walking distance.

How to book FHR hotels in 2026

FHR bookings in London go through American Express Travel. Booking directly with the hotel will not get you the program benefits.

An eligible card is required. FHR bookings can be made by American Express Platinum Card® , The Business Platinum Card® from American Express , and Amex Centurion Black Card members, along with additional cardmembers and employee cards on those accounts. Only the primary cardmember on the Platinum or Business Platinum earns the $600 statement credit, though.

Some rules to know:

• Platinum and Business Platinum give up to $300 back semi-annually (January–June and July–December), for up to $600 a year.

• A pay-at-property rate doesn't trigger it, and no enrollment is required. Can’t show up in the UK and pay for your NoMad stay there. Must be prepaid

• The statement credit requires a prepaid ("Pay Now") booking rather than a deposit or pay-at-checkout rate.

At L'oscar London, a $542 prepaid one-night FHR stay minus the $300 statement credit leaves roughly $242 out of pocket, before on-property charges.

What benefits do you get with FHR in London?

Every eligible Fine Hotels + Resorts booking includes six benefits. Four are guaranteed:

1. daily breakfast for two,

2. a property credit worth roughly $100,

3. guaranteed 4 p.m. checkout,

4. and Wi-Fi.

Two depend on availability:

1. a room upgrade upon arrival and

2. noon check-in.

Amex advertises the average value of these perks as $550 for a two-night stay, and you can (usually) double-dip on point earnings: Membership Rewards on the booking, plus whatever the hotel's own loyalty program pays out. The $550 is definitely a more than generous estimate, but these benefits actually are pretty solid. I would come up with your own valuation of the benefits based on what you think is most worth it.

Final Thoughts on the Cheapest FHR Hotels in London

Nobu Hotel London Portman Square was the lowest-priced property at $455, and honestly the next three properties are very interchangeable in price ($530-$542/night), so you should just pick the one that fits your tastes the best. Across the full list of all 41 London FHR properties, the lowest rates average $985, while average nightly prices range from $561 at Nobu to $3,773 at The Savoy. Even at a fraction of the highest end price, Nobu is still an incredible 5-star luxury hotel.

Nobu is the pick if you want the lowest price, or you’re really drawn to their restaurant and bar scene. If proximity to the West End matters more, The Londoner or The Langham put you closer to the theaters for about $80 more a night.

Is it better to book through Amex or directly with the hotel?

It really depends how you weigh the FHR benefits. If the hotel rate is significantly cheaper than the Amex Travel one, it’s probably worth booking with the hotel directly. With the Amex Platinum or Business Platinum you have that $300 credit plus additional benefits with an FHR booking so calculate accordingly. If the direct rate is $400-$500 cheaper, it would definitely be worth considering booking directly with the hotel.
