Fodor's Expert Review The Zetter

86–88 Clerkenwell Rd., London, Greater London, EC1M 5RJ, England Fodor's Choice

The five-story atrium, art deco staircase, and slick European restaurant hint at the delights to come in this converted warehouse—a breath of fresh air with its playful color schemes, elegant wallpapers, and wonderful views of the city from the higher floors. Thoughtful little touches, from the plethora of gadgets in every room to the exclusive 1,500-foot borehole from which the hotel draws its mineral water (yes, really) raise this place to something truly special. Across the street is the 13-bedroom Zetter Townhouse, a sister hotel offering the same quirky style with a touch more intimacy—and an excellent cocktail bar, too.
