Pan Pacific London

Spotlighting luxuriant British contemporary design with Asian minimalism, Pan Pacific London offers refined and discreet elegance at One Bishopsgate Plaza, which includes a new 43-story landmark tower combining the hotel and luxury Sky Residences from its parent company, a modern central plaza  and landscaped spaces that make it feel like a haven tucked away from the city’s teeming crowds.

In the heart of London near the swanky Shoreditch area, shopping in Spitalfields and just a two-minute walk from Liverpool Street Station, the hotel features interiors devised by Yabu Pushelberg, the sought-after firm behind hot spots like The Miami Beach EDITION and Four Seasons Hotel Toronto. Its sleek modern design provides an ambiance of tranquility and harmony throughout, buffeted by lush orchids, bonsai trees and Asian tropical plants as well as modern Chinese paintings and other artworks providing the walls with subdued flair.

The 194 rooms and 43 suites range from the serene nearly 400-square-foot Deluxe Room with cream and other neutral tones, curved lines and plaid carpeting, to the majestic 1,280-square-foot Pan Pacific Suite, with a panoramic view of the Gherkin and other famed landmarks and, as with all of the suites, butler service. The staff, like the hotel itself, is meticulous and graceful, but never overly fussy, underlining Pan Pacific London’s overall vibe as both indulgent and like being comfortably at home.
