The Buxton Shortlist*
London, England
Good Hotel Guide Review
Hip and convivial, this modish Spitalfields gastropub-with-rooms is a stroll up the colourful street from the Whitechapel Gallery. Named after Victorian social reformer, abolitionist and brewer Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton, he would no doubt approve of its sustainable values, vintage styling and selection of local beers. Each of the compact, neatly designed bedrooms has a micro-library of East London-themed books, and handwoven artworks, rugs and blankets made by local weavers. Guests can ascend to the roof terrace for 360-degree views across the East End and the City, or head down to the brick-painted bar and bistro, for seasonally changing British-European menus. (Underground: Aldgate East, Whitechapel)
