There was such a splash around this hotel when it first opened back in 2014 and pleasingly it’s still got that ‘something special’ atmosphere eight years later. For a Central London hotel the things-to-do list is long with a bowling alley, cinema, spa, gym, roof terrace with kitchen garden, bar, restaurant… There’s almost no reason to leave at all. Room rates are pricey, but there’s no need to go for a massive one, the superior category is a decent size, has a lovely queen-sized bed and all are decorated in that instantly recognisable Kit Kemp flair. If it’s a honeymoon suite you’re after however, the terrace suite on the top floor of the building is enormous with floor-to-ceiling windows.
