HotelChatter

Prime location is just about right – the East End is where it's at if you're after a proper party (the West End's the place to spend three months' salary on one night out, pull a footballer and dodge the punch-ups in the streets on your way home). Andaz is just around the corner from Shoreditch, Spitalfields and Brick Lane, and because the building is actually part of Liverpool Street Station, the connections into central London are top-notch, too.

Why else should party people love it? The free minibars? The reader in residence service? The refreshing lack of celebrity endorsements? While it's great to stay in a bed that might once have housed a famous rear, we like a hotel to sell itself on something more than its guestlist.

No, most of all, we love Andaz because, despite it being an extremely cool hotel, there's none of the standoffishness you'd normally expect extreme cool to breed.
