Snooping Around The Park Plaza Westminster Bridge

Where: 200 Westminster Bridge Road, London,, United Kingdom, SE1 7UT

It's been seven months since the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge hotel opened and when we found ourselves in the area the other day, we thought we'd pop in for a snoop around. And whilst we were at it, try out the cocktails and food.

Inside the ground floor, two escalators lead up to the reception area. The decor has a black and red theme with low lighting throughout. Even in the day time it feels a little like a nightclub as there isn't much natural light about. The bar which was jumping in the evening, has a good selection of cocktails. We tried the Vino Vito and Vanilla Crème Brulee and both went down a treat.

The Hoxton Hotel Goes All Designer On Us

Where: 81 Great Eastern Street, London,, United Kingdom, EC2A 3HU

The Hoxton Hotel London, famed for its £1 room sales, has gone all designer on us. Taking inspiration from its fashionista location in Shoreditch the hotel has asked three designers, Project Orange, Suzy Hoodless and Adrian Kilby to each design a Hoxton bedroom of the future.

As we speak each of the 3 rooms are being tested by regular guests and their feedback will help choose the winning room design. We managed to sneak a peek inside the room designed by Suzy Hoodless.

The room is 'industrial chic' and pays homage to the East London clubs nearby with mock concrete walls and low lighting. Instead of a wardrobe there is a dress painted on the wall with coat hangers for your clothes and a big black leather chair. The stylish black tiled bathroom was our favourite part of the room with rain shower and more concrete, this time on the floor.
