"A tribute to the historic Vintry and Mercer guilds, this 92-room London hotel mixes vibrant, design-forward interiors—velvet headboards, leather door handles and colorful ceramic-tiled bathrooms with walk-in showers and C.O. Bigelow products—with a barrel-aged cocktail program and bespoke textiles and vintage trading maps in the decor. Dining and drinking include a ground-floor all-day spot, an indoor/outdoor rooftop terrace with a charcoal oven and farm-to-table dishes, and Do Not Disturb, an underground speakeasy-inspired cocktail bar; some suites offer glass-walled balconies with Southbank views." - Sandra Ramani
