This shimmering hotel in London’s Shard skyscraper delivers floor-to-ceiling sophistication, from Europe’s highest hotel bar to Western Europe’s highest swimming pool, and seamlessly blends modern minimalism with subtle Asian artistry – and its sky-high cinematic perch is unbeatable.
Location
You’re right on the southern bank of the River Thames, right next to London Bridge station (for rail connections to Kent, Bedford and beyond) and occupying part of The Shard, the pyramid-shaped icon of London’s skyline, offering some of the most dizzying panoramic views in the city. Borough Market, the beloved food market (everything from just-shucked oysters to boozy cheese), is less than a five-minute walk away, and Shakespeare’s Globe, Tate Modern, and the Tower of London are also easy to reach on foot. The station next door is also on the Jubilee and Northern Tube lines, which means straightforward access to all corners of the capital.
