Medical Guests
Fitzrovia is not simply a convenient base for medical visits. For patients and families travelling to London from the Gulf states, Europe, Asia and beyond, the specific address of their accommodation matters as much as its quality. A private residence within walking distance of Harley Street and the Portland Hospital removes one of the greatest burdens of a medical visit: the daily journey to and from appointments. Select Apartments holds residences across Fitzrovia's finest addresses, positioned to place guests closest to the specialists and hospitals they have come to London to see.
Every property in the collection is a private home with its own entrance, its own kitchen and its own address. For a patient returning from an appointment each day, or a family member who has travelled from abroad to accompany them, the privacy and calm of a Select Apartments residence is qualitatively different from a hotel stay. The kitchen can be stocked to medical dietary requirements, the housekeeping schedule can be arranged around appointments and rest, and the host is directly contactable at all hours.

What Fitzrovia Offers Medical Guests
Fitzrovia sits immediately east of Harley Street, bordered by Great Portland Street, one of the most direct and walkable routes to the medical district from any central London neighbourhood. The area is quieter than the retail streets to the south, with a residential, village-like character that suits guests who want calm between appointments rather than the bustle of the West End.
The neighbourhood is also home to some of London's most significant hospital infrastructure. University College Hospital's main campus runs along the northern edge of Fitzrovia on Euston Road, and the Portland Hospital sits on Great Portland Street directly bordering the area. For a patient with appointments across both private and NHS settings, Fitzrovia offers a rare combination: proximity to both without needing to cross the city.

Is Fitzrovia a quiet area, suitable for a guest recovering from treatment?
