REVIEW > CANOPY BY HILTON LONDON CITY
Upon entering the hotel ’ s lobby , we were greeted by the St . Clare Coffee and Bar , which boasts a co-working space ambiance . The Canopy brand has taken inspiration from this lively neighbourhood and incorporated it into its unique feature known as Canopy Central . The ground floor lobby is meticulously designed to capture the essence of the neighbourhood and its lively energy , providing guests with an unforgettable experience that truly reflects the spirit of the area .
In January , we had the pleasure of staying overnight at the stunning Canopy by Hilton in London City , the first Canopy by Hilton to open in the UK .
The hotel ’ s prime location in the centre of the bustling East End makes it an ideal base for both tourists and business travellers alike . The 340-room hotel is just a short walk from Aldgate station , and less than 20 minutes away from Liverpool Street station by foot , making it incredibly convenient for getting around London by tube and an ideal base for exploring the city .
The hotel is surrounded by a wealth of historical landmarks and cultural attractions , including the iconic Tower of London and the elegant Victorian architecture of Leadenhall Market , which boasts a variety of shops , bars , and restaurants .
Art enthusiasts will also appreciate the nearby galleries , such as the esteemed Whitechapel Gallery , known for its ever-changing contemporary exhibitions .
The bedroom ’ s interior design combined elements of new construction and refurbishment , with ample natural light and stunning city views . The elegant grey wall fabric , sleek steel accents , and light wood canopy over the bed created a sense of airy comfort that was especially inviting after a day of exploring the city ’ s landmarks .
At night , the vibrant city lights illuminated the skyline , creating a mesmerizing sight . The view from our room offered various perspectives of London , depending on where you stood , making it fascinating to take in the city ’ s beauty .
Our accommodation felt like a cozy retreat , providing a sense of home away from home . Surprisingly , the hotel room was more spacious than anticipated .
