“A sleek modern hotel well located in bustling Covent Garden. Rooms come in 5 different styles but each has moody hues, Egyptian cotton sheets, cocktail kits, and Sonus speakers. Suites have very cool indoor gardens. With a hip Italian restaurant and several drinking options, this is a stylish stay.”

Hotel Review

Unimposing from the street but within the golden entrance of the vast lobby there’s an impressive centrepiece of driftwood and a wonderfully long line of lit-up fires. With electronic state-of-the-art gadgets and gizmos the lighting is fantastic. The balcony on the mezzanine is a place of refuge in contrast to the buzz of the sleek bar below. There’s also QT, a speakeasy in the basement with an uber-cool ambiance. The Sycamore is the open-planned Italian restaurant with its spacious setting of marble tables. Some of the rooms have names like Radar and Downtown: all in keeping with the trendy vibe and with a stand-alone bath and décor consisting of wenge wood and walls of plants. The massive television declared the hotel philosophy: “An immersive experience designed for those who want to live the city rather than just stay in it”. It certainly has great appeal.
