Stylish Eats: The GŎNG bar boasts some of the top views of the city (the highest bar in Western Europe, no less) for those in need of a quick refresher. From the quick-stop treats at the LÁNG deli to afternoon high tea at the TĪNG, 24-7 meals are sussed here.

Suite Talk: With 202 guest rooms and three top suites – The Westminster Suite, The London Suite, and The Shangri-La Suite – no room is the shame due to the architecture of the building and the unique twist the hotel lends to each space. Curtains open, though – the views are not to be missed.

With Spitalfields Market a stone’s throw from the reception area to London’s premium shopping areas a mere taxi cab ride away, you’ll be spoilt for choice between West End, skyline-gazing, or visiting Harrods. Choices, choices!
