What they say
Also in Wallpaper*.
The interiors… avoid the over-dressed mood of many new luxury hotels. It is polished and sleek, but it does not want to vaunt.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set beside Somerset House on the Thames, the property borders the galleries, studios, and creative spaces of the 180 Quarter.
The rooms
Curved timber cabinetry, hidden workout benches, and vintage George Nakashima chairs define the light-flooded rooms, supplied with complimentary treats.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The health club and spa
Spread over three floors, the thermal suite includes an infrared sauna, ice baths, and programming with the Cleveland Clinic.
Bobbi’s Bar
A custom OJAS audiophile sound system anchors this wood-paneled lounge, hosting vinyl DJ sets and late-night piano singalongs.
Restaurant
Café Clement
Danny Bohan heads the open kitchen at this riverfront brasserie, serving slow-cooked veal ragù tagliarini and lobster omelettes.
How it began
Soho House founder Nick Jones conceived the hotel as a relaxed riverside answer to London's classic grand dames.

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