The London Carriage Works, Hope Street Hotel

Summary

Ever-polarised reports on this grand and trendsetting design hotel; the problem is that “dishes vary too much here…some can be excellent and others very disappointing” and, despite its reputation, there “isn’t much of a buzz about the place”. The hotel part must be doing better: an extension to add 12 rooms and 12 suites was green-lit in January 2017.
