GENERAL INFORMATION :
What to expect: Strikingly minimalist, this is a hotel where light and space replace more traditional décor. Executives, couples, and families pass through the giant, colored-glass revolving doors into the organized calm of the vast lobby. The décor throughout is an eclectic mix of rustic and classical, and the furniture is sparse. Modern cuisine dominates the menus of the two restaurants.
Amenity highlights: A showcase for the art of lighting, and the uniting of style and technology, the St Martins Lane features video displays in the elevators and a virtual aquarium in the lobby. In the guestrooms, highlights include illuminated, transparent marble desks and mood lighting with multiple settings, as well as floor-to-ceiling windows and high-speed Internet access.
Insider tip: The London Coliseum, next door to the hotel, is home of the English National Opera. The year-round program of performances is especially popular with people who are new to opera, because all performances are in English
