Allies &
Morrison describe the South Place Hotel as
a, "... boutique City hotel located
between Liverpool Street Station and
Moorgate. It provides over eighty
luxurious guest bedrooms and a range
of public spaces including bars, a
destination rooftop restaurant and
terrace, dining and meeting rooms, a
gym and a resident’s games room." "The principal façades consist of three interplaying layers of glass, bronze and natural anodised aluminium panels which fold inwards at the eaves to form a mansard roof, sympathetic to those of the surrounding buildings, out of which a series of metal clad dormer windows emerge." The hotel describes itself as, "... luxurious, lively and fresh-faced, the first hotel from restaurateurs, D&D London. With 80 bedrooms, five bars and a floor of event spaces, the hotel was designed for wining, dining and dancing, before falling into a comfortable bed. Designed by Conran + Partners, inspired details and playful touches mirror the vibrant neighbourhood, a deft mixture of the contemporary City, London’s most historic quarters and the achingly cool East End." |
