WHERE TO STAY<br />
SANDERSON LONDON<br />
HOTEL, SOHO<br />
Don’t judge a book by its cover<br />
– or a building by its facade. In<br />
the case of Sanderson London<br />
Hotel, the corporate exterior<br />
contradicts the edgy, whimsical<br />
décor (originally designed by<br />
Philippe Starck) waiting inside.<br />
There are plenty of areas that vie<br />
for attention, from the 80-foot<br />
glowing lobby bar to the courtyard<br />
garden with Mad Hatter-themed<br />
afternoon tea and evening DJs.<br />
The dramatic cocktail bar with silk<br />
purple curtains, the tranquil spa<br />
with meditation beds and a chillout<br />
zone, and the cozy billiard<br />
room with a two-story stained-glass<br />
window will also ensure you’re<br />
occupied when you’re not out<br />
exploring Soho – home to gayfriendly<br />
bars and clubs, record<br />
stores, boutique shops and hip<br />
eateries.<br />
THE MONTAGUE<br />
ON THE GARDENS,<br />
BLOOMSBURY<br />
Splendid afternoon tea service,<br />
lavish Victorian décor and topnotch<br />
hospitality – it doesn’t get<br />
more British than The Montague<br />
on the Gardens. Located within<br />
walking distance of the British<br />
Museum, the hotel is a relaxing<br />
respite following a full day of<br />
exploring. Comfy beds and evening<br />
turndown service cap off the day<br />
well. Relax on the outdoor cigar<br />
terrace or grab a drink in the plaidquilted<br />
bar. Even better, hide out<br />
in the hotel’s private garden.<br />
