4 STARS · Commercial Road, 73-77 · London
Vintage threads, aromatic curry houses, and art leaping from the walls, London's East End has come a long way from its ripper of a past. There's no better way to take in this bustling part of town than on foot, where you can wander to the Whitechapel gallery, down Brick Lane's many stalls and, of course, grab a beigel in between meetings. And when you need a break, our lavish Wilde is right there to rest your weary feet. Delightful. This means the usual combination of home comforts such as fully equipped kitchens and hotel services such as 24-hour reception, but with the addition of superior interior finishes including natural timber flooring, bespoke joinery, crafts, artwork and soft furnishings, 43-inch smart TVs, appliances from high end brands such as Smeg and Nespresso, as well as luxuriant Hypnos mattresses and Grohe rainfall showers.
