What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
there’s no more natural setting for the capital’s first Virgin hotel than this, a red brick industrial-style building on a prominent corner in Shoreditch.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set on Curtain Road, the hotel places you moments from Brick Lane vintage markets, independent coffee spots, and buzzy late-night venues.
The rooms
Curved lounge beds, Marshall retro speakers, and rainfall showers with steam settings bring a chilled 1970s feel to neutral-toned chambers.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The open-air heated pool sits on the roof, flanked by glass railings and panoramic skyline views.
Gym and treatments
Underground, the 24-hour fitness centre includes Peloton and Technogym machines, alongside three treatment rooms for botanical therapies.
Dogs stay too.
Bar
Hidden Grooves
A 5,000-record vinyl library lines this hi-fi lounge, which hosts evening DJ sessions and mixes album-inspired cocktails.
Restaurant

Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap around this rooftop dining room, serving weekend brunches beneath woven basket lamps.
How it began
First opening as The Curtain and later Mondrian Shoreditch, the red-brick industrial building marked Virgin's hotel debut in London.
