What it’s good at
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Fulham Broadway tube station is a short walk away. The stadium gates sit right outside the front doors.
The rooms
Rooms make smart use of twenty square metres, with light timber joinery and modular desks.
The gym
Stationary bikes and benches fill the 24-hour gym, set against mirrored walls and slatted wall panels.
At the table
55 Bar & Dining serves British comfort dishes with global twists, including bangers and mash with kimchi sauce.
How it began

The building previously operated as two adjoining stadium hotels, the Millennium and Copthorne, before Ascott took over.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
