Bank London|1.79km from city center
This was my second stay at the Club Quarters St Pauls. The hotel is incredibly located in the central City of London just adjacent to St Paul’s Cathedral. The hop on hop off tourist bus stops right outside the main door. Other bus stops taking you to Waterloo or Trafalgar Square or Liverpool Street are within a block or two and the City Thameslink station connecting to Gatwick is only two blocks away. Right next door is an M&S grocery store. Loads of restaurants from chains like Pizza Express or Rouge to higher end Ivy Asia, Burgers and Lobsters to cute pubs are all within a couple of blocks as is the St Paul’s tube station. Location, location, location. I stayed with my young daughter in an executive one bedroom suite on the top floor facing the back courtyard with a lovely view id the spirw of St Martins Ludgate. Nice, clean, quiet, spacious with good AC, two TVs and a kitchenettte with fridge, microwave and basic cutlery. We bought snacks, breakfast items and takeaway from M&S next door and so could eat some meals in. While the hotel is geared towards business travelers, I found it very convenient for a stay with a child. There are filtered water stations on every floor, tea , coffee and milk supplies in the room as well as 24/7 in the pleasant lobby. I love staying in this part of town as it is less frenetic than the West End but so close by. In the evenings when the city workers depart and the weekends, it is quite uncrowded yet still many places are open. Millenium Bridge is a stone’s throw away and we were able to take a pleasant stroll over to the Tate Modern on the other side of the riverbank. Lobby staff were pleasant and efficient. Hotel has a luggage storage service which was incredibly helpful as we traveled to the suburbs at the weekend to visit friends and would not have been able to manage all our international luggage. My only critique really is that the room did not have a safe. The hotel restaurant Cote is quite good.
