The custom-built entertainment centers house flat-screen plasma TVs, CD players, and both DVD players and VCRs. More than 1,500 movies can be requested from the hotel's library.
"This superbly trendy choice stay is the product of Philippe Starck, who transformed what was a soulless, '60s shell into a vast, very-twenty-first-century refuge."
"At night, the five-star hotel lights up into individual chambers of different colors, making it very easy to see and yearn to stay at."
"Designer Philippe Starck is the mind behind this hip Ian Schrager luxury hotel in the West End, where the minimalist white quarters can be personalised with ambient mood lighting."
"A slice of New York urban chic just a stone’s throw from Covent Garden, this Philippe Starck–designed hotel is so cool you’d hardly notice it was there."
"A super-cool stay at a newly redesigned, five-star in London's Theater District, with breakfast included." Full review
