Milk [London] – Unique, best sleep in the creative pocket of London
Ace Shoreditch is the first hotel to come swinging outside the US to land in London, and it’s smack dab in the middle of it all. With Old Street to the west, Hackney Northeast and London’s financial hub down south, Ace is super central with easy walking distance to all of these areas. The former old Crown Plaza Hotel has been paved over and redesigned with cool décor and great vibes, reflecting the creative energy of the Shoreditch east-end neighborhood. Artists, design shops, fashion and textile stores, and theatres are all centered in this creative pocket of the city. The hotel charmingly provides unique luxurious accommodation that’s contemporary, relaxing and comfy, with 264 affordable rooms on offer. Clever industrial design and attention to detail, comfortable beds, speedy wifi and what you could call an anti-corporate philosophy make this hotel appealing to well travelled creative types. Even if you’re not an overnight guest, it’s easy to feel drawn to Ace as the main lobby styles itself as a fun and social space with a 100 seat restaurant, café, gallery, flower shop and juice bar.
