I couldn’t leave out über trendy Shoreditch, and The Curtain Hotel perfectly epitomises the quirky and edgy vibe of the neighbourhood. The hotel décor features an industrial setting and Manhattan vibe, with its dark walls, exposed brick and abundance of textures.
The Curtain Hotel has a real focus on health & wellbeing, offering morning yoga sessions, a 24-hour gym and healthy menu options across its restaurants. The rooftop restaurant, Lido, offers fresh food all day, whilst you can enjoy live music seven days a week at its South American influenced restaurant, Red Rooster.
My favorite part however has to be the Green Room, the hotel’s very own cocktail bar. A feast for the eyes and the palate, it’s hard to decide what is best, the décor or the menu. Think peacock tones within an industrial setting, there is a mixture of rough concrete and plush velvet, a green tiled bar popping against the pink walls, and an abundance of brass and greenery. As for the palate, try MaBelle, a floral infused cocktail inspired by the rose garden in Victoria Park alongside the delicious deep-fried truffle mac’n’cheese.
Don’t miss… the heated rooftop pool with stunning views across the city: a great way to end a busy day in town.
