The on-site fitness suite offers Peloton bikes and a cable machine for guest use. Each room provides daily housekeeping, strong Wi-Fi connectivity, and quality Bramley toiletries in the private bathroom.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The hotel sits one block from the Thames and a three-minute walk from Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. Borough Market is a five-minute walk away, and the Tate Modern is around the corner. The Shard, Tower Bridge, and the Tower of London are all within a 15- to 20-minute walk.
Services & Guest Experience
Daily complimentary breakfast supplies are provided in the room, including milk, tea, and coffee. The 24-hour front desk staff can hold luggage after checkout and arrange taxis. Flexible check-in and check-out times are available, and a shared lounge/TV area offers additional space for guests.
