Best Hotel for Design: The W London, Leicester Square

At the Leicester Square outpost of the urbane W hotel brand — on the doorstep of Chinatown and central London’s so-gay Soho district — design is the star of the show.

The exterior of the hotel is frosted like a giant metropolitan iceberg. Guests step off the lobby elevator and are greeted by a phalanx of hanging mirrorballs. The room design is all sex-forward minimalism: Showers and toilets are hidden behind mirrored walls and glass. In some rooms, rather distinctively, the sink, vanity, and desk space are condensed into a central structure — like a kitchen island. Breakfast is served at Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s chic Spice Market restaurant: It’s like admittance to an opium den with a buffet. WLondon.co.uk
