Montcalm Luxury Hotels has opened the doors to its sixth property, the Montcalm Royal London House – City of London. Situated nearby Liverpool Street station and close to Shoreditch, the 253-bedroom hotel marks a remarkable transformation of an imposing mid-century office building into a stylish five star property with uniquely striking views of London’s City skyline.
At the Montcalm Royal London House – City of London, the group’s trademark timeless elegance has breathed new life into the building’s fine mid-century features, with statement copper pipe lighting and exposed brick walls mixed with original reclaimed parquet flooring and silk-lined corridors, feature staircases and turquoise leather stools.
Bedrooms include 18 junior suites, 14 master suites with 55 inch TVs, 9 studio suites with kitchenettes and 5 business suites. Two suites with private balconies overlook the Shard and other iconic City landmarks.
The hotel’s two restaurants, two bars and room service operations are run by acclaimed restaurateurs, Tom and Ed Martin of ETM Group.
On the ground-floor, ‘Burdock’ features a juice bar, lounge area and restaurant which opened on 11th October. It is a truly modern yet comfortable third space perfectly designed for breakfast meetings and networking, as well as business lunches, after work drinks and dinner.
‘Aviary’, a unique concept of Bar and Restaurant on the roof top and boasting some of the capital’s best skyline views, opened mid-November and is set to quickly become one of the area’s top destination restaurants.
Advanced guest technology doesn’t stop at complimentary high speed WiFi. The hotel will be the first in the UK to offer 10GB bandwidth capacity on demand, ensuring its agility to cope with peaks in network usage for meetings and events.
All bedrooms also benefit from iPod docking stations, Smart 55” TVs and a complimentary handy smartphone service, giving guests unlimited 3G internet data and free local and international calls to selected countries.
The hotel’s stylish, state-of-the-art meeting and event spaces opened in January 2017. Fully versatile, the space can be hired for exclusive use for up to 300 guests, or individually for smaller events of around 60. All private rooms boast natural daylight from the building’s large, striking light wells.
An urban spa is also due to launch this spring, featuring beautiful Versace wall tiles, a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, two treatment rooms, a sauna and steam room, the perfect spot for some well-deserved relaxation after a long day at the office or taking in the sights.
