Looking for a hotel to stay at in London? How about a luxury apartment and plenty of dollar left in your purse? My boyfriend and I, during a weekend away, stayed at the Empire Square Marlin Apartments near London Bridge and they were amazing value, especially as we booked so last minute.
The innovative Empire Square Marlin Apartments are luxurious and tastefully decorated. The views of the city offered from the higher apartments provide a romantic, iconic backdrop for your stay. The suite's are fully equipped with a new, clean kitchen, packed with amenities; an open plan living area and a separate very comfortable bedroom. The choice of lighting adds the extra touch - homely or romantic, your choice.
Borough tube station is a stone's throw away and the West-end is only a half-hour trip from there. We dressed up for the theatre package we had booked: dinner at the Sitaaray (a flamboyant fragrant Bollywood-themed Indian restaurant) and then watched The Woman in Black at the Fortune Theatre (cramped but atmospheric).
The Empire Square Marlin Apartments are ideal for a short city break in the capital. The blurb on the Marlin chain's website boasts that the landmark development has won lots of design awards and has been critically acclaimed for its style, finish and minimisation of its carbon footprint. This boasting is definitely justified though. Their emphasis is on light and space with floor-to-ceiling windows dressed with flowing light voile curtains which, in a crowded, hectic city, is a haven.
These apartments are a contemporary vision and much better than any overpriced tiny hotel room we've stayed in in London. Check in and check out!
