The Restaurant at The Zetter Hotel

"If that doesn't appeal, the arrival of head chef Diego Jacquet in 2006—formerly of the Trafalgar's Rockwell Bar and Restaurant, El Bulli, and Aquavit—might just do it for you"

"The five-story atrium, art deco staircase, and slick European restaurant hint at the delights to come in this converted warehouse—a breath of fresh air with its playful color schemes, elegant wallpapers, and wonderful views of The City from the higher floors"

"Hip Italian restaurant at street level"

"This Victorian warehouse turned 59-room hotel on London’s heavily trafficked Clerkenwell Road is missing nary a detail of what constitutes a cutting-edge big-city boutique hotel: duck-down pillows, CD/DVD players upon request, and 24-hour room service (from the fashionable Italian restaurant downstairs)"

"” Housed in a 19th-century former warehouse in über-fashionable Clerkenwell, the building has 59 stylishly retro rooms and an excellent sceney restaurant and bar on the ground floor"

"While the hotel's neighborhood has hip restaurants and bars and a central tube stop, the area can empty out on weekends, and it's far from tourist sights"

") After rum cocktails in the huge embrace of Smiths’ red-leather banquettes, we stroll back to the Zetter’s beautiful high-ceilinged restaurant, with its huge 180-degree curved windows overlooking a cobbled square"
