Oyster Hotel Review

London City Suites By Montcalm

Scene

Luxury property with modern interiors

The property is geared toward business travelers who are working in London and need a high-end, long-stay apartment near the office. That being said, plenty of tourists pass through as well, drawn by the style and extra space to relax in their rooms. Set amongst the soaring glass, steel, and stone office buildings in London’s financial district, the property blends in well with its smart, elegant, and business-like white marble lobby. The lobby is within the Montcalm Hotel, where guests must check in before being escorted across the road to the apartments. There are vases of orchids, an ornate gold-framed mirror above the fireplace, and a crystal chandelier. It’s a small but welcoming space with two chairs and a table, and a bowl of fresh fruit on top of the white reception desk. All other facilities, including the hotel's restaurants, are also located in The Montcalm at the Brewery Hotel.

Location

In the heart of London’s Square Mile, with good transport links

The apartments are located on a busy street, just across the road from the property’s sister hotel, The Montcalm at the Brewery Hotel. The location is convenient for business travelers who are working in the city as it’s right in the heart of the famous Square Mile where many major businesses have their head offices. The property is easily accessible by public transport at Moorgate and Barbican Underground stations, a five-minute walk from the hotel, as well as Old Street and Farringdon train stations, which are a 10-minute walk. The Barbican Centre, which hosts music concerts, theater performances, film screenings, and art exhibitions, is a two-minute walk from the hotel, and it takes 10 minutes to reach the Museum of London, or 15 minutes to reach St. Paul’s Cathedral, on foot. Opposite the property is the Jugged Hare -- a stylish gastropub serving modern British food, and a chic modern British restaurant. Within a couple of minutes' walk there are other places to dine too, from a Wagamama noodle bar, French brasserie Cote, and some independent trendy diners. There are plenty of stylish bars too, from chains like All Bar One to independent places where city workers gather at the end of the day. For grocery shopping, there's a Waitrose just a two-minute walk from the hotel. Heathrow Airport can be reached in 50 minutes by train and tube, or by taxi in around an hour depending on traffic.
