CitizenM Tower of London

Top choice in London


Downstairs it looks like a rich hipster's living room, with well-stocked bookshelves, kooky art like Warhol's Reigning Queens and Beefeater bric-a-brac. The 370 rooms are compact but well-designed, with an iPad controlling curtains, the TV and even the shower lighting. It's worth paying an extra £20 for the extraordinary Tower views, although they're even better from the two-level 7th floor bar.
