What it’s good at
Listed
Etched Corian rainscreen panels illuminated at dusk front interiors dressed with Chesterfield sofas.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Tower of London sits five minutes south on foot, and Aldgate station is just around the corner.
The rooms
Compact rooms stick to functional essentials, fitted with monsoon rain showers and crisp Egyptian cotton bedding.
Bar
One Lounge
An organic continental breakfast starts the day, before the counter shifts to toasted sandwiches and drinks beside illuminated honeycomb mirrors.
How it began
Excavations on the site in 2013 unearthed a second-century Roman sculpture of an eagle grasping a serpent in its beak.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
