This hotel has been selected for:
St Martins Lane was the first Morgans Hotel Group/Philippe Starck collaboration on English shores, moving into Covent Garden a few months ahead of its younger sister, Soho’s Sanderson. The concept (at both hotels) is Urban Resort, and there’s no question guests walk into a different world upon entering, a world furnished with golden tooth-shaped seats, life-size chess pieces and hanging bare lightbulbs. Starck’s trademark irreverence may not look as novel as it did a few years ago, but it certainly sets a tone, quite a contrast to the English urban-country-house norm.
Rooms are loft-style, open-plan, with a custom-designed lighting system allowing guests to set the mood with light in any color of the spectrum, emanating almost magically from a projector behind the headboard, an arrangement that makes use of the blank canvas provided by the rooms’ all-white color scheme. Windows are floor-to-ceiling, allowing for impressive views of central London—one of the benefits of retrofitting a Sixties office block rather than some Georgian landmark. As in any loft-style building, corner rooms will see the most light, and while at many hotels the “garden rooms” are those with inferior views, here it means something different; an outdoor patio with a touch of greenery provides a breath of fresh air.
A Morgans hotel without a chic and in-demand restaurant would be unthinkable—this one has two, the tried-and-true Asia de Cuba and the newcomer Tuscan Steak, which is exactly what it sounds like, except for the Tuscan part. Two Starck-designed bars round out the social life, which draws at least as many locals as guests. St Martins Lane lacks one thing the Sanderson has, which is a spa; then again this location is a shopper’s paradise—in choosing between the two, the key, ultimately, is Covent Garden or Soho?

Style and location are outstanding. The turndown service is very good, except the last time I stayed, the curtains were not drawn in properly. The rooms are small (as in most London hotels) but if you get an upgrade to a larger room, then this is one of the best hotels to stay in London.I Disliked

The restaurant Asia de Cuba is consistently good. The ability to use Gym Box next door is very convenient. The staff is very attentive and friendly.I Disliked
The video and music in the elevator has to go, they tried to be artsy and eclectic and achieved ANNOYING, so annoying I actually cringe before entering the elevator and other guests were making fun of the video short film playing. Also, there must be a a version of Charmin in the UK, for a hotel that really gets it right, their toilet paper is "grating".138 user(s) found this review helpful.

Stunning Hotel, but left with no sleep and a rash
Stayed May 2008
I Liked
The public spaces and the rooms were stunning. I won't take that away from the hotel. Honestly, it was fancy, and decedent and everything that you would expect from a hotel that costs nearly $1000USD a night.I Disliked
Basically, there were 2 things I feel the need to report - at 3am in the morning, there was loud banging on the door next to mine. A couple was having a fight and although I called and asked the concierge to please attend to it, it went on for 15 minutes and the concierge never came. In the morning, when I got out of bed, I discovered that I had a rash all over my body. I hadn't been anywhere else before then and hadn't eaten anything unusual, so I am certain it came from the hotel. When I called the hotel the next day to tell them about this issue, they passed me to housekeeping and then back to the front desk and no compensation or sincere apologies were made. I had been very excited to stay at the hotel. It was a special occasion and I was extremely disappointed that the management of the hotel didn't try to make up for it in any way. For such an upscale hotel, I just would have expected more attention paid to their clients. I am sorry to post such a negative report on your site, but it seems that the hotel didn't want to hear it, so maybe someone else will.605 user(s) found this review helpful.
