Where the trendy hipsters playground of Shoreditch meets the innovative Tech City you’ll find Montcalm’s newest addition – M by Montcalm Shoreditch London Tech City.
Its modern and futuristic design, with façade influenced by ‘OP-Art’ pioneer Bridget Riley makes it a worthy addition to the area and a city landmark in its own right.
If M were a person, they would be ultra-fashion conscious, work in a cool tech start-up near Silicon Roundabout and enjoy hanging out in all of Shoreditch’s chicest venues.
Inside, guests will be warmly welcomed into a spacious lobby area with a light filled atrium and cosy seating areas. Your room dressed in shades of biscuit, beige and chocolate is comforting and relaxing. There are easy-to-use control panels for lighting, temperature, curtains, sound and room service, as well as W-Fi, satellite TVs and iPod docking stations – what more would you expect from a hotel based on the edge of Tech City? Add a touch of glamour and tranquillity to your room by requesting a special fragrance – choose from romantic touch, fresh clean, pink grapefruit, refreshing lavender, saw grass and marine fresh.
When you’re ready to explore the area you’ll find that you’re within easy walking distance to many of London’s major sites – a tough feat in a city as big as this. Perhaps begin your morning at the Museum of London, learning all about the city’s varied history, as well as what’s in store for its future. Just further south sits one of London’s most magnificent landmarks – St. Paul’s Cathedral with its iconic dome. From here it’s an easy walk to the River Thames, which will take you all the way down to the Tower of London.
End your afternoon by heading back up north again into the East End to the ultra-hip Spitalfields Market. With plenty of excellent eateries, street food stalls and chic boutiques to browse, it makes for a worthwhile few hours.
After a hard day traipsing around the capital, why not call upon the services of your very own Bath Butler to create your most indulgent soak, a Scent Steward to create a personalized fragrance, or a twenty minute treat including massages, manicures or facials? Once you’ve relaxed, head down to the lobby to enjoy a drink in the private members club – the stylish Hoxton Social.
Or if you prefer, escape to the urban sanctuary of the M Spa, hidden below the hotel and decorated with a luxurious gold leaf Versace tiled swimming pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room. Treatment rooms also offer you the chance to be pampered with top of the range products.
Although the surrounding area offers some excellent dining options, the M steps up to the mark and offers two worthy options. Up on the 17th floor you’ll find draw-dropping vistas and inventive dishes, created by one of the city’s hottest Michelin-starred chefs, while on just above the lobby you’ll find the Tonic & Remedy Restaurant and Cocktail Bar. Paying homage to the apothecary trade, which used to be located in this part of the city, it offers up New York innovation fused with classic British fare, cooked up by Chef Paul Welburn.
When you’re ready to sleep you can aid the process with the help of a Sleep Concierge who can provide everything from sleep masks and late night bites, to soft music and lighting, aromatherapy oils and herbal teas. There’s even an extensive pillow menu allowing you to choose everything from anti-aging, hypoallergenic and ecological pillows to ladies’ dainty delight and manly macho magic. All this is sure to guarantee the perfect night’s sleep.
With all this and more, you’ll discover that M by Montcalm is so much more than hotel – it’s a lifestyle.
