The property opened pretty much on-time this past spring and if you're in need of a quick country getaway when visiting London, Sanctum on the Green now has "Crash Pads" available for £120 a night, including breakfast. If they are anything like Sanctum Soho's crash pads, we expect these rooms to be extremely tiny, although they are promised with king beds, flat screen TVs and internet access. The only thing is there are

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/2010SexiestHotels_3.jpg" class="top">For adults only. With the prevalence of <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/peekaboo bathrooms">peekaboo bathrooms</a> these days, you'd think that hotels are all a bit sex-crazed. But as always, there's a difference between looking sexy and being sexy. We at HotelChatter have sussed out the 10 Sexiest Hotel Rooms Alive! These rooms go beyond voyeuristic showers and sex kits in the mini-bars. These are the types of rooms that, in the words of John Mayer, are like "sexual napalm" for hotel guests. So we're turning down the lights, pouring the finest glass of Merlot (that doesn't come from a box) and slipping into something comfortable while Boyz II Men plays in the background. Just sit back, relax, let your mind go and

Do we smell a pretender to the Soho/Shoreditch/Dean Street/Babington House throne of Soho House founder Nick Jones? Mark Fuller, who owns the sexy Sanctum Soho, has just announced that he’s opening a country outpost. Or rather, when we say “opening”, we mean “closing down one hotel and reopening it under a different brand.”

London: The New York Times Decides Sanctum Soho 'Looks Cheap'

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/sanctumsohonyt.jpg" class="top"> Well, we went into London's brand new "rockstar hotel", <A href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Sanctum+Soho/local/1445">The Sanctum Soho</a>, and checked it out <A href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/4/23/113733/358/hotels/Sneak_Peek_at_London_s_Rockstar_Hotel_The_Sanctum_Soho">for ourselves</a> and we dug it. It was a cool concept, what with the teensy "Crash Pad" rooms meant to appeal to the just-here-for-the-night partiers, the always-open bar to appeal to the post-gig rockers, etc. But the New York Times didn't really share our sentiments. To be exact, the Times writes in their <a href="http://themoment.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/05/06/now-booking-sanctum-soho-hotel/">The Moment blog</a>: <blockquote>When I stayed last week, I didnt actually see any rock stars or groupies boozing in the roof garden. Instead, I saw a pair of older women with shiny leather purses the size of potato sacks checking in at the front

The <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Sanctum+Soho/local/1445">Sanctum Soho</a> London's new "rock star hotel," and possibly the one we've heard the most rumors about in a long time (recall the<a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/1/26/95646/5175/hotels/Iron_Maiden_s_Managers_to_Open_Rockstar_Hotel_in_London"> Iron Maiden thing</a>), opens its doors tomorrow. Luckily for us, we got a sneak peek on Monday. Unfortunately, it was at the very un-rockstar time of 8am, so most of the rooms were taken (friends of owner Mark Fuller have been road-testing it for the past few weeks) and there wasn't really a distinctive "vibe" established but we liked it. There are only 30 rooms, all of which are built for romping, from huge suites to (our favorites) the
