"Located in Bethnal Green, this hotel offers grand architecture and Michelin-starred cooking. It features a blend of Edwardian and art deco designs and is home to the two-Michelin-starred restaurant Da Terra." - Nicholas DeRenzo
"The interiors are spacious enough that the Town Hall is free to embrace a certain spare and minimal contemporary style, the sort of thing that could come off a bit like a space capsule if these rooms weren’t so generously sized. At this size (and inside this historic neoclassical building) the effect is stylish rather than stark. And while Bethnal Green is somewhat peripheral, it’s certainly no suburb — there’s no shortage of city culture here, including more than a few fine restaurants." - MICHELIN Guide
