Independent Report
locationSt Martins Lane is a wonderful 5 star hotel located in the heart of Covent Garden. It is within walking distance to West End theatres, Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square and Soho.
roomsSophisticated, witty design and intelligent attention to detail unite in this luxurious room. In a melange of culture and texture, Philippe Starck uses onyx, Lucite, molded porcelain, Portuguese limestone, terra cotta and African wood to create a space that is both simple and serene, practical and pure. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide stunning views. Indulge in a divinely comfortable bed and lavish agua by Korres bath products. A one-of-a-kind interactive light installation allows you to choose from a full spectrum of vibrant colors to create the perfect mood for every moment. Deluxe rooms are 360-390 sqft/33.44-36.23 sqm.
restaurantThe hotel has a very well-known restaurant, Asia de Cuba which is overseen by renowned international restaurateur Jeffrey Chodorow. It combines elements of Asian and Cuban cuisine served sharing-style in a high energy London restaurant. Housed in a dramatically colonnaded space, Asia de Cuba's innovative menu is matched in its surroundings by a dramatic series of soaring art columns.
Asia de Cuba not only serves huge sharing portions for dinner, it has adapted the famous dishes for Bento Boxes, perfect for lunch or pre-theatre. At the end of your experience, you can also take a little piece home with the new Chocolate Menu, featuring classic Asia de Cuba cocktails and flavours such as 'Deluxe Mojito' and 'Thai Chilli' encapsulated in chocolate.
At St Martins Lane there is also the well-known" The Light Bar" which is a unique and breathtaking London club that takes the concept of atmospheric lighting to new heights. Guests gather to sip the now famous cocktails, such as Raspassion Martini, Lighten Up Champagne, Strawberry Cheesecake and Lychee and Elderflower Collins, snack on Asia de Cuba delights, chat and people watch in a series of cozy niches that are bathed in warmly vibrant shafts of colored light,pink, orange, violet, and green. The walls are hung with enormous black & white close-up photographs of people making.
exteriorIt is a modern building which from the front appears to be constructed out of glass only. The hotel does not have its name over the door the way other properties tend to.
lobbySt Martins Lane's lobby is a soaring and theatrical space that offers a provocative manipulation of dimension and proportion. Starck presents a visually stunning play on scale, with oversized columns and angled niches painted a deep fluorescent yellow, complemented by Portuguese limestone floors. From its acid-etched, double-height yellow glass facade to its unpredictable plays on vivid color to the dramatic series of columns that appear as shining towers, St Martins Lane's lobby is a triumph of color and light.
generalThe hotel is acclaimed for its bars. The hotel also has a state-of-the-art gymnasium and a supervised children's play area.
