Hotel Door

Recently opened to great critical acclaim, this brand new hotel is set to become one of the most popular and prestigious in the area. Why stay in a run of the mill hotel when you can stay in this super stylish and on-trend residence?

Situated in the heart of the East End, choosing this property will mean that you get to stay outside of the typically tourist areas, away from the bustling crowds that they attract, and enjoy a taste of real London life. Thanks to the excellent transport links though, you can be in the West End in less than twenty minutes. This hotel really does provide the best of both worlds.

The contemporary and spacious rooms are a great place to relax, with first class facilities and comfy beds. If you don’t feel like leaving, you might want to enjoy the 24-hour room service, which offers everything from light snacks to full three-course feasts. Concierge services are top-notch too, and the staff really will go out of their way to help you.

The on-site restaurant is already making a name for itself, serving delicious dishes that will appeal to all palates. Make sure that you check out the extensive wine list to complement your meal.
