Threadneedles is the first luxury boutique hotel in London s City Square Mile. Originally a Banking Hall built in 1856, the hotel echoes its colorful past with a rich and contemporary interior, solid oak and impressive marble columns. The five star hotel has an awe-inspiring hand-painted glass atrium which crowns the reception and honesty bar area. Soft tones and clever lighting create a relaxing environment within the 69 contemporary rooms and suites. Elegant Egyptian cotton and duck-down duvets adorn the beds. Limestone bathrooms feature frosted glass sliding doors, chrome and glass accessories and plasma-screen TVs. Guests who want to experience the ultimate indulgence should stay in The Penthouse, which has a unique interior and magnificent private balcony overlooking the city life below. The striking restaurant Bonds serves modern French cuisine and is popular with the local city business people who add a buzz to the bar in the evenings. LOCATION : Close to bank underground station and Liverpool Street station. Threadneedles is located in the heart of London’s financial district, the City. It s the oldest part of the capital, offering distinguished landmarks such as the Bank of England, St. Paul s Cathedral and the Tower of London. But there are modern classics too, such as the Lloyds Building and Swiss Re Tower; two of the London skyline s most striking upstarts. The arts too are well represented, not least by the world famous Barbican centre and the Tate Modern. All these are a few minutes stroll from the hotel, and the fashionable West End is a mere tube or taxi ride away. Heathrow airport is approximately a 28 km drive from the hotel, whilst Gatwick is 48 km and City airport 12 km.
