"This hotel is a glamorous riot of copper and brass marooned on the South Bank. The location is extraordinary—you can tick off Tate Modern and The London Eye before the rest of the tourists have finished their morning tea and toast. Upon arrival, you get the message that this is a hotel that doesn’t take itself too seriously—a great copper hull, based on the 19th-century clipper the Cutty Sark, has crashed into reception, which is next door to Lyaness bar with mixologist Ryan Chetiyawardana A.K.A Mr Lyan at the helm." - Nicholas DeRenzo, CNT Editors
