"Located in the tallest building in London, this hotel doesn’t need to try very hard to make a jaw-dropping impression. It occupies floors 34 to 52 of a glass stalagmite designed by Renzo Piano, looming over the rest of the city and guaranteeing views from all of its 202 rooms. Decor is opulent albeit a bit bland—silks and marble in blues and beige—but it doesn’t really matter, because you’ll be looking out of those floor-to-ceiling windows anyway. Bonus: The Skypool on floor 52 is the highest indoor swimming pool in western Europe." - CNT Editors
