Fodor's Review:

The shell of an old stationery warehouse, on the former site of Henry VIII's Bridewell Palace, is now in its "nth" reincarnation as a polished hotel. Don't let its all-business appearance and financial-district location put you off. It's just paces away from the Tube, and soundproof windows block out City noise. At night, the soundproofing is wasted, as the neighborhood is very quiet, so you'll have to go elsewhere for a party scene. Minimalist rooms are smaller than at a typical Crowne Plaza but reasonable by London standards. Head down to the hotel's Michelin-starred restaurant, Refettorio, for high-quality rustic Italian cuisine by acclaimed chef Giorgio Locatelli, including charcuterie, regional cheeses, and homemade pastas. Pros: good prices available with advance booking; lots of amenities in rooms. Cons: neighborhood is busy during the day and quiet at night.
