What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Once inside this sparkling new building, though, you’ll find the familiar Malmaison style very much intact, all rich woods and deep, masculine colors
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Three Graces stand just down the riverfront, and the Royal Albert Dock museums are a ten-minute walk away.
The rooms
Bedrooms are finished in moody purples and blacks, and the gleaming monochrome bathrooms include custom robes.
The gym
Technogym cardio trainers and weight machines line the fitness space against a bank of floor-to-ceiling windows.
Restaurant
Chez Mal Brasserie
British cuts cook over Konro and Josper grills beneath bold wall murals and curved velvet banquettes.
At the table
Woven wicker tables line the waterfront terrace, looking straight out over Princes Dock and visiting ships.
How it began

While the chain built its reputation converting old warehouses and prisons, this waterfront tower was its very first new build.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

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