Browns, Halkin, Met are also contemporary, some more than One Alwdwych. (Although they receive mixed reviews, while One Aldwych is fairly popular in this forum)

there is some discussion/comparison >

Avoid it - it was fun when it first opened in the late 90s, but is now well past its prime. If you want to stay at a boutique hotel, try the Soho Hotel or maybe the newly redone Browns. If you want luxury, stick with the properties noted above - I am a fan of One Aldwych, like many others on this thread, but it is not for everyone. Even the Sanderson is better than the SML.
