The house
AccorSurrealist skyline perch
Playful sculptures, saturated pastels, and an open lobby gallery bring an irreverent, art-led energy beneath the towering brick chimneys.
“the resulting effect is an enveloping interior that feels organic and welcoming.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Jaime Hayon interiors fill Foster and Partners curves with surrealist sculptures, bespoke ceramics, and woven tapestries.
Notable
A sixteenth-floor heated rooftop infinity pool faces the brick chimneys, complemented by a lower-level thermal suite.
Listed
JOIA rooftop cocktail lounge and ground-floor TOZI café host resident DJ sets and creative studio workshops.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
Art’otel–164 art-inspired rooms on the top levels of the power station–will open, with a rooftop bar and pool, a spa and a restaurant
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along pedestrianized Electric Boulevard, the front doors open steps from riverside parks, restored turbine shopping halls, and the Northern Line.
The rooms
Serpentine layouts feature bold color palettes, eyeglass-shaped mirrors, and Roberts radios, with wide windows framing the surrounding redevelopment.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Floating yoga mats and heated swimming sit sixteen floors up, directly beside the power station's monumental chimneys.
The spa
Basement treatment suites host reiki and Brazilian lymphatic drainage, just steps from the sauna and steam room.
Dogs stay too.
JOIA Restaurant
Chef Henrique Sá Pessoa oversees contemporary Iberian plates on the fifteenth floor, looking straight out at the brick chimneys.
The hotel commissioned Spanish artist and designer Jaime Hayon to create custom works for the space, including recycled-yarn tapestries hanging over the café…
JOIA Bar / Pérola Cocktail Bar
Floor-to-ceiling glass frames the illuminated towers, and resident DJs and live Latin funk soundtrack late-night cocktails.
At the table
On the ground floor, TOZI Grand Café serves Venetian cicchetti and wood-fired pizza beneath sculptural red mobiles.
