Scene
Luxury property with modern interiors
The property is geared toward business travelers who are
working in London and need a high-end, long-stay apartment near the office. That being said, plenty of tourists pass through as well, drawn by the style and extra space to relax in their rooms. Set amongst the soaring glass, steel,
and stone office buildings in London’s financial district, the property blends
in well with its smart, elegant, and business-like white marble lobby. The lobby is
within the Montcalm Hotel, where guests must check in before being escorted
across the road to the apartments. There are vases of orchids, an ornate gold-framed
mirror above the fireplace, and a crystal chandelier. It’s a small but
welcoming space with two chairs and a table, and a bowl of fresh fruit on top
of the white reception desk. All other facilities, including the hotel's restaurants, are also located in The Montcalm at the Brewery Hotel.
