Not that long ago, there were hardly any hotels in the City of London, which was always surprising given the vast amount of business traffic in this area. But now there is a fair selection of good quality hotels including the latest addition of the Hilton Double HOTEL, Tower Hill.
This is the City’s largest hotel to date having 583 bedrooms, all of which are equipped with the latest iMacs doubling up as in-room TV and computer. The narrow guest floor corridors present an institutional feel but bedrooms are attractive if functional, clearly stating this is more a business hotel rather than for leisure guests.
Addressing the CSR issue, the Hilton Doubletree HOTEL, Tower Hill has cleverly positioned itself as an Eco hotel. In this case it means solar panels, roof gardens complete with beehives, energy saving lights and no plastic bottled water in the meeting rooms. Best of all, all rooms have windows that open.
The Hilton Doubletree HOTEL, Tower Hill is located off Pepys Street and the contrast from this old fashioned, narrow street outside to the ultra modern, spacious atrium lobby is striking. Having so many bedrooms over 11 floors means the lifts are pretty busy but someone’s clearly thought out the layout as the dedicated meetings area is quickly accessed from the lobby by stairs. All the meeting rooms have floor to ceiling windows and they’ve added a row of 9 meeting booths for informal discussions or breakout groups.
The WOW factor is the Sky Lounge on the 12th floor, comprising of five meeting rooms, a stylish bar and two rooftop gardens complete with a BBQ area. This is a fabulous place for summer events thanks to the superb views of the river Thames, Tower of London, and the Gherkin, but just watch out for the bees!
