So there we were, thinking the rockstar Sanctum Soho was the hotel we should most look forward to opening this spring. But then we found out about the Bermondsey Square Hotel, which is on course to open on April 14.

OK so south-of-the-river Bermondsey�s not exactly a central location, and it definitely isn�t on the tourist bus routes. In fact, in the past, Bermondsey wasn�t the most pleasant of areas. But it�s been tarting itself up over the past few years, and has now become a pretty trendy part of London.Time Out recently called Bermondsey Street the �funkiest newcomer� of London�s streets.

Although it�s not yet party central like the East End, Bermondsey has good shopping, bars and restaurants. And it�s just down the road from Tate Modern, the Globe Theatre, and, more importantly, the foodfest that is Borough Market. The Tower of London is just across the river, too.

The hotel (part of Bespoke Hotels) looks pretty nice too--iMacs, wetrooms and loft rooms with terraces and even a hot tub in one of them. And with pillow fights apparently on room service, and the restaurant menu naming dishes after our floppy-haired mayor (the Boris Burger), it�s calling itself a �uniquely eccentric hotel.� We have high hopes � especially as opening rates start from �89 ($127). Reservations are now open but you must email reservations@bermondseysquarehotel.co.uk to make one.
