The Bar/Lounge at Charlotte Street Hotel

"The restaurant, Oscar, is excellent for European cuisine, and the bar is a trendy (though pricey) local hangout"

"The Oscar restaurant and bar are classy and always busy with a smart crowd from the area’s media and ad offices"

"The ground floor bar is always buzzing with local workers as well as guests in this exquisitely designed hotel in a street full of restaurants"

"There is a brasserie, bar and a gorgeous leather-seated private screening room for 75 guests (most often Soho's media trendies)"

"Beyond the first floor living room (with a chic honor bar stocked with plenty of bubbly and ingredients for mixing your own cocktails), there are guest rooms spread over five stories, each individually decorated (though some admittedly snug)"

"Like other Firmdale properties, it’s known for its Sunday night film club, which combines dinner with a screening in the downstairs theater, complete with comfy leather loungers"

"Amenities include an all-day brasserie, small gym, fireplace-equipped library lounge and a high-tech screening room that hosts a popular Sunday film club combining a meal with a movie"

"One wall of the plank-floored reception area is a window overlooking the busy brasserie's burnished-pewter bar"
