"A Lore Group reimagining of a Shoreditch landmark that combines striking design features—bay windows, reclaimed-oak benches, and sculptural totems—with calm, white-layered guest rooms and eucalyptus accents. The 258-room property places art and craft front and center in its lobby and public spaces, and its basement speakeasy-style cocktail den, Seed Library, from renowned bartender Mr. Lyan, is a highlight for nightlife and inventive drinks." - Nicholas DeRenzo
