PB hotel design editorial

Philippe Starck's revolving door at St Martins Lane glows acid-green after dark, a chromatic provocation visible from the pavement that signals exactly what kind of hotel lies within — one where the entrance is a statement, the lobby a theatre set, and the guest room a controlled experiment in white. Opened in 1999 as part of Ian Schrager's first London foray, the Covent Garden property was fitted into a purpose-built postmodern tower by architect Sir William Whitfield, its 204 rooms arranged across floors that look out over the rooftops of WC2, including, from the right angle, the dome of the Coliseum next door. Starck's interior logic runs on deliberate contradiction. The guest rooms are exercises in near-total whiteness — low platform beds in white lacquer, leopard-print carpet, caramel silk curtains, and furniture that shifts between clinical and playful, including the quilted oversized lounge chair visible in the images. Against this bleached restraint, the bar and restaurant lean hard in the opposite direction: tufted leather in ox-blood and tobacco, dark walnut panelling, mismatched Victorian dining chairs in bottle green, Chesterfield armchairs on patchwork kilim rugs, and amber-lit ceilings lined with antiqued mirror. The tension between those two registers — the polar white of the rooms and the amber warmth of the drinking and dining spaces — is what gives St Martins Lane its lasting design charge.

"St Martins Lane London is perfectly located for anyone wanting to experience all that the West End has to offer. Its central position makes it incredibly convenient, with the London Underground just around the corner and plenty of dining options nearby, even late into the evening. What truly made our stay exceptional, however, was the outstanding hospitality from the hotel team. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and consistently attentive. Breakfast each morning was a particular highlight, with the team going above and beyond to ensure we were well looked after—including thoughtful touches like offering takeaway coffee for the day ahead. A special mention must go to Shraddha, who looked after us each morning. Her attentiveness, genuine warmth, and ability to remember exactly how we liked our coffee made each breakfast feel personal and memorable. Her pleasant demeanour and exceptional service ensured every day began on a wonderful note. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay such an enjoyable and memorable experience."

"Quite a lovely stay at this hotel. The staff was top notch, rooms cleaned daily, timely and efficiently. The ambiance of the lobby was great. My check out was especially helpful with Mohamed coordinating the bellhop and car. You can't beat the location of the hotel either, it was literally central to everywhere we went. Highly recommend the stay."

"Excellent location! The staff were super friendly. The rooms were clean and the bed was very comfortable. We had three rooms as our adult children joined us on vacation in London. They particularly enjoyed Norris at the bar! Why not 5 stars?, it's not five stars, but a really good place"
