“This hotel distinguishes itself with bold design and a prime Thames-side location, moments from cultural landmarks. The unique architectural design evokes the glamour of a 1920s cruise liner, while inside, both the rooftop bar and in-house cinema stand out. I think that this property offers a distinctive experience for both families and couples looking for something beyond the standard luxury stay.”
