Nestled on East London’s historic Curtain Road, Virgin Hotels London-Shoreditch is a love letter to the neighbourhood’s gritty aesthetic. Behind its industrial-chic facade of weathered brick and steel, a world of sophistication unfolds. Think exposed beams dancing with velvet furnishings and raw concrete harmonising with gleaming brass accents.
Inside, three show-stopping venues offer a feast for the senses. At Bibo, Dani García reimagines Spanish tapas with boundary-pushing flavours. Ascend to Marlin’s on the Roof where sun-seekers lounge by the pool and sip Mediterranean cocktails against London’s jagged skyline. When day becomes night, the Commons Club turns from a caffeine haven to a cocktail kingdom.
Beyond these walls lies a playground for the perpetually curious. Lose yourself in the labyrinth of galleries lining Redchurch Street, or visit Columbia Road Flower market, where Sunday mornings burst with colour. From there, the seductive aromas of Brick Lane’s countless curry houses compete with artisanal coffee roasters for your attention.
