Where is the hotel?

Hotel Saint, which opened in 2023, is right by Aldgate Station, as well as a short walk from Tower Bridge and other London attractions.

What is the hotel like?

While unassuming from the outside, the beautiful interiors make up for it on the inside with gold and black designs throughout. 

What are the rooms like?

The hotel has 272 rooms to choose from, ranging from standard rooms to suites.

Ranging from twin beds to king-size, each room has a desk and chair for anyone needing to do some work, as well as a 42inch LCD TV.

A tea and coffee station as well as mini fridge and free water are included, as well as free toiletries.

Leave your hairdryer and dressing gown at home too, with free ones to use in the room.

Each room also has a large shower with lavish gold features, with suites even having a huge built in bathtub.

Book three nights or more at Hotel Saint and get 15 per cent off your stay. Rooms start from £200 a night.

What is there to eat and drink there?

On the ground floor is the Cardinal Bar and Restaurant, serving a delicious range of Southeast Asian inspired dishes.

The super soft chicken momo dumplings were packed with flavour, while the hearty butter beans and marinated cod was a warming dish.

Leave room for the pistachio cheesecake, or one of it’s many cocktails ranging from classic Espresso Martinis to a cool tequila-based Pineapple Picante.

Stay for breakfast too, with all the classics including Full English and avocado toast as well as complimentary pastries, tea and coffee. which cost £20pp (or you can pay per item). Kids under five eat free.

But for some amazing views, head to the Jin Bo Law Sky Bar.

While not affiliated with the hotel, join the other post-work drinkers on floor 14 with some amazing cocktails overlooking the London skyline including the Shard, the Walkie Talkie, the Gherkin.

I highly recommend the High Life #3 cocktail, with gin, prosecco and edible glitter.

What else is there to do there?

The hotel has a beautiful 24-hour gym, with full glass windows letting you people-watch while on the treadmill.

Otherwise guests can make the most of some of London’s top attractions in the nearby area, or hop on the Elizabeth line to go further afield.

Is the hotel family-friendly?

Parents can opt for one of two family suites, which have a master bedroom and  separate living room with a pull-out sofa bed for kids.

Otherwise some of the rooms have connecting doors to be opened for larger groups.

There are 14 accessible rooms on-site with wheelchair access, with all of the floors accessed by lift.
