Cool, calm and contemporary, Montcalm Royal London House sits in a unique location where London's financial district meets its creative quarters. Easy to get to on public transport, it's also in a fantastic spot for exploring the capital, close to the likes of St Paul's, Shoreditch, the Barbican, Millennium Bridge and across to Shakespeare's Globe.
In the former 1950s Royal Mail head office, the iconic building is a sluggish fusion of mid-century meets 21st-century, combining state-of-the-art tech with chic interiors. Rooms and suites are awash with plush fabrics, pale leathers and dark wood finishes, offset by impressive views across the city skyline.
London has a reputation for being home to some amazing restaurants, established eateries and exciting new chefs, and Montcalm Royal London House is determined to compete amongst the best. The London spa hotel has three restaurants including the relaxed cafe and bar, Burdock, known for its smoothies, juices, and sharing platters; the modern brasserie Aviary, on the tenth floor; and the Long Arm Pub, which produces its own beer and serves craft burgers and juicy hotdogs.
While the hotel is a vibrant destination for the most cosmopolitan of guests, the YĀTRĀ Urban spa is a tranquil escape from the world outside. A serene, white space, it has a gym, an eight-metre pool, a Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, all of which help you relax your mind and body in preparation for one of their spa treatments.
Taking you to a parallel universe, the treatments at YĀTRĀ Urban are a step above. Using the mineral-rich, marine-inspired products from Thalgo, they are born of a brand that's eco-friendly and uses the power of active marine ingredients alongside scientific expertise to produce optimal skincare results in an exquisite collection of face and body treatments. It's total bliss.
