Sanderson London

Whatever the reason you’re staying in London – whether it be the up-coming Olympics in 2012 or just a holiday to sight-see – why not treat yourself to a bit of style by staying in 5-Star luxury at the Sanderson London hotel.

The Sanderson, part of the Morgan’s Hotel group, is only 500 meters from Oxford Circus Underground Station which places it at the heart of London’s West End shopping scene and very close to theatre land. The building itself dates back to the 1950s and still has some of its original features which it mixes quite elegantly with modern designs.

The 150 rooms are unique and groundbreaking. They feature sleigh beds, rugs inspired by Voltaire’s handwriting and oil paintings of soothing landscape scenes that are hung on the ceiling. The private bathrooms are encased in a floor-to-ceiling glass box, draped with layers of sheer curtains. Some of the rooms offer views of the London cityscape; other rooms overlook the courtyard garden. Beds have 450-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets and pashminas as bed-throws. High speed Internet access is also available.

Some of the special amenities include:-

The Courtyard Garden
Retreat to the private Courtyard Garden, a lush open-air oasis brimming with flowering trees, fountains, mosaics and a reflecting pool. Guests can drink, dine or simply relax in this private sanctuary that is unique to the Sanderson London.

The Purple Bar
The Purple Bar, with its (as you would expect) flush of purples, lavenders and violets, is a stylish and intimate lounge that has become one of London’s hottest gathering places. Draped in violet silk opera curtains, and furnished with lavender Queen Anne chairs, purple etched Venetian mirrors, and a bar that looks like an enormous meteorite, gives it a quality that makes it the perfect setting for drinks, conversation and people-watching. The Purple Bar offers a range of Martinis all of which are based on the original Martini – ‘The Martinez’ – dating back to 1860.

The Agua Spa & Gym
The Sanderson Hotel’s ‘Agua Spa’ boasts 14 treatment rooms and offers hydrotherapy, yoga and massages and complements the gym which is located on the first floor, adjacent to the Agua Spa. The gym is fully equipped with state-of-the-art equipment with well-placed video screens to keep you entertained while you get your body in trim. Personal training sessions are also available.

Suka Restaurant
The Suka in London restaurant offers modern but authentic Malaysian cuisine prepared in European style. The menu, created by acclaimed New York chef Zak Pelaccio, marries French cooking techniques with the intensity and spectrum of south-east Asian flavors. The Suka is set on the ground floor and has a relaxed and casual atmosphere, while still capturing the wit, irony and elegance of the Sanderson.

The Sanderson London is located at 50 Berners Street, London W1T 3NG.
