PB hotel design editorial

Renzo Piano's decision to taper the Shard's glass facade into an irregular spire — each panel angled slightly differently, catching light in perpetual motion — created one of the more demanding briefs in recent hospitality history: how do you make 202 hotel rooms feel intimate inside a building whose entire architectural logic is pure verticality? Shangri-La at The Shard answers by placing its 34 floors between levels 34 and 52 of the 95-storey tower, where the building's inclined glazing becomes the dominant interior feature, the angled glass walls cutting through guest rooms at unexpected geometries and flooding them with city panoramas that shift from the Thames and Tower Bridge to the distant Surrey hills. The interiors, designed by New York and Hong Kong-based Spin Design Studio, work against the building's drama rather than amplifying it — warm maple millwork, upholstered headboards in pale grey linen, and deep-pile carpets in an abstracted watercolour blue keep the rooms calm while London performs beyond the glass. The cherry blossom motif embroidered above each bed references Shangri-La's Asian heritage without tipping into ornament. Higher up, the infinity pool on level 52 pulls off the building's most theatrical gesture: the water surface aligns with the floor-to-ceiling glazing so that swimmers float above St Paul's and the City in a single unbroken sight line. Gong, the bar on level 52, counters that openness with darkened wenge-panelled alcoves and red velvet stools set against an onyx-topped counter — intimate by design, the city reduced to a glittering backdrop.

"We picked this hotel to celebrate a milestone birthday and the view from the room was so worthwhile. Loved using the binoculars to look around. Amazing bathroom facilities and massive bed. We were able to check in early which was super appreciated. I really enjoyed the stay and would recommend to others but there were a few things stopping the full five stars. The room is noisy at night, not from other guests/outside but from the ventilation system - even though our climate control was off, there was a constant drone all night. The pillows were way too soft for us also. There is a pillow menu, but no description about the support so didn’t know which to choose. The hairdryer was connected in the bathroom which wasn’t always ideal. The sink had a small leak which we noticed upon leaving and notified reception. I have stayed in other 5 star hotels that left personalised notes & chocolates when celebrating something but this hotel did not, even though it was noted on the pre arrival email - this isn’t an expectation, just an observation. We did not use the restaurants, room service or house keeping so cannot comment on that, but the room was spotless upon arrival. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the location is excellent."

"We booked Shangri-La The Shard, London to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary and chose the hotel only after specifically checking their dog policy in advance. I was clearly told that although dogs are not allowed in most dining areas, they could be left in the room for short periods (for example, while having breakfast), provided “Do Not Disturb” was used. After booking, we were then informed that dogs cannot be left unaccompanied in the room at any time. This directly contradicts what we were told beforehand and, in reality, makes it unworkable to stay at the hotel with a dog. As a result, we’ve had to change our plans entirely. Very disappointing experience, particularly given that we went out of our way to confirm the policy before booking. For a hotel of this standard, clear and accurate information should be a given."
