Sun Street Hotel review
Six historic Georgian townhouses between Liverpool Street and Moorgate stations have been given new life, tucked away on a quiet street. Inspired by VC Vickers' The Google Book, a 1913 magazine full of bizarre and fantastic pictures of fantastical birds, Bowler James Brindley designed the piece.
It must be acknowledged that the interior design of this place is visually stunning. A deep red library to the right of reception begs you to take a moment to peruse one of the numerous books that fill the shelves. Turn around and you'll find yourself in a somber bar with a deep blue lounge that leads into a bar where the Google Birds motif is reflected in the cocktails. The Lemon Squeezer, which is made with tequila, chilli, agave, and coriander, is highly recommended.
The elevator is lined with opulent, lush wallpaper, and the walls are covered in groups of oddball artwork that will thrill guests who ascend the stairs. I'm a big fan right away since it's maximalism done perfectly.
The Room
We had
the good fortune to book the largest accommodation out of the property's 41
rooms and suites, and what a pleasure it was to stay in. Dance, named for
George Dance the Younger, the property's original architect from the 18th
century, is a roomy and welcoming apartment that anyone would be happy to
return to.
Here,
the dining, relaxing, sleeping, and bathing spaces all include sophisticated
hues of deep blue and burgundy, clashing patterns, and rich textures. The
living room's juxtaposition of the leopard-print cushions and the flowery sofa
makes it feel almost Parisian. The unexpected features, such as the chainmail-like
light fixtures and the feather fringe on the pillows, are what I find so
fascinating.
The
bedroom's exposed brick wall and its louvred window shutters are tributes to
the original building's history. Sleep comes quickly and deeply because the bed
is quite comfy and large. The soft furnishings are completed with House of
Holland pillows with tassel finishes and a mustard throw, which exudes a cozy
yet elegant feeling.
The large bathroom has a standalone tub that is, we can assure you, as deep and pleasant as you would like. Quercus Penhaligon cosmetics and bath salts from Sun Street Hotel are provided for lengthy, leisurely soaks.
The Orangery, a light-filled and breezy place featuring burnt orange banquets, monkey-strewn walls, and a glass ceiling, is the venue for breakfast.
In
addition to ordering from the menu, guests can savor a limited assortment of
popular continental breakfast items, such as housemade granola, at the buffet.
The pancakes with kaya jam and Chantilly cream were too good to pass up, and we
were pleasantly surprised by their flavor and fluff. The avocado toast with
poached eggs was equally delicious, but we wish there had been two pieces (or
are we just nosy?).
Quercus serves dinner; it features a darker, moodier design story and has an adjacent private room that can be closed off for special occasions and intimate feasts. Under the direction of Executive Chef Stephen Englefield, this restaurant features a South East Asian-inspired menu that is made using the finest British ingredients. During our visit, we gorged ourselves on lobster from Cornwall and Devon crab. Desserts and the opportunity to taste an amazing array of British sparkling wines should not be missed.
