London's Cool Nabe, Dalston, To Get a Hotel We'd Actually Stay In

There are only three days left until Christmas but the London Hotel Scene hasn’t stopped for the holidays (or the snowstorms.) In fact, the opening race is still going at full speed with our findings that three more hotels are set to open.

East London hotspot, Dalston, is getting its first hotel--well, its first hotel we’d want to stay in. Avo Hotel will be a “boutique chic hotel” in one of London’s hippest areas, so hip that Dalston was named by Italian Vogue as the "Coolest Place in Britain."

The new hotel is set to open in February 2011, just in time for Valentine’s day. But good luck getting a rezzie. The hotel will have only six rooms stocked with amenities like chocolates, plush slippers and robes, along with “a sexy café in the lobby” and a penthouse suite upstairs.

We heard that room rates start at £79 with 5% off bookings made at least four weeks in advance but the website won't be up and running until next week. In the meantime you can check out the hotel's, Twitter feed for updates.
