One Hundred Shoredtich UK Hotel

Shoreditch, London, UK

A mile from the financial movers and shakers of the City, inner London’s streets are home to creatives of a different kind. In the past, weavers, furniture and glass makers, printers and tailors left their mark in Shoreditch and these day’s it’s a design-lover’s dream. At its heart, One Hundred Shoreditch lies close to the boutiques, galleries and cafés of a new generation of artisans and the street markets of an older, edgier London. Public spaces in the modern build mirror the energy outside: hardwood seating designed by London-based Jan Hendzel Studio greets you, along with a lobby coffee shop – with beans sourced from a local roaster – and bar. Away from the buzz, 258 guest rooms are designed for a good night’s sleep, with soft, natural tones and generous beds. By day, nearby Whitechapel Gallery or Brick Lane market beckon; or take a Sunday stroll to urban oasis Columbia Road flower market. Then it’s back to the rooftop for a cocktail while you savour a panoramic view of the historic, ever-evolving, East End skyline.
