Feeling a bit down after surgery, I craved a festive pick-me-up. London, with its dazzling Christmas lights, beckoned. But a quick trip to the city demanded a special place to stay. I wanted something unique, something that captured the magic of the season. My search led me to the Treehouse Hotel, a whimsical haven that opened its doors just a few months prior.
A City Oasis: Location, Location, Location
Nestled just north of the River Thames, the Treehouse Hotel offers a perfect blend of urban convenience and peaceful retreat. Its location places you within easy reach of Regent Street and Oxford Street, the heart of London’s shopping scene. But the Treehouse Hotel isn’t just about shopping. It’s also a stone’s throw from iconic landmarks like The British Museum, The Sherlock Holmes Museum, and the sprawling Regent’s Park and Hyde Park. It’s ideal for those seeking to experience the city’s cultural treasures beyond the well-trodden tourist path.
Beyond the City Bustle: A Unique Stay
While a short walk will lead you to Buckingham Palace, a longer journey awaits those wishing to visit the Tower of London. For those seeking the quintessential first-time London experience, a hotel closer to the iconic landmarks might be a better fit. But for a unique and unforgettable stay, the Treehouse Hotel is an excellent choice.
A Room With a View: Sustainability and Style
I indulged in the Treehouse Suite, a sanctuary offering breathtaking views of London’s skyline. The highlight, without a doubt, was the soaking bathtub positioned against a giant window – pure bliss. But the magic went beyond the bathtub. The entire hotel champions sustainability with its eco-conscious design. Plastic is a no-go, replaced by water fountains on each floor and stylish glass bottles for guests to refill. The treehouse theme extends throughout, using local products wherever possible.
A Feast for the Senses: Food, Fitness, and Fun
The Treehouse Hotel is a culinary playground. Start your day at Backyard, the hotel’s charming coffee shop and breakfast spot, offering a delightful selection of teas, coffees, pastries, and fresh fruit. You can even swap pre-loved books with fellow guests, adding a touch of literary charm to your stay.
For a more substantial meal, head to Madera, the hotel’s main restaurant, where you can savor Mexican cuisine and a delectable Sunday brunch. Craving a pizza? Pizzeria Mozza will satisfy your cravings. And for an evening of sophisticated cocktails, head to The Nest, the hotel’s rooftop bar. No matter your taste, the Treehouse Hotel has a dining option to delight your palate.
The Treehouse Hotel even offers a unique twist on fitness. In partnership with FRAME, a renowned fitness company, guests can enjoy personalized training sessions in their rooms, on the Nest terrace, or even in nearby Regent’s Park.
A Treehouse with a Touch of Magic
The Treehouse Hotel isn’t just a place to stay; it’s an experience. It’s a place where sustainability meets style, where urban adventure meets peaceful retreat, and where the magic of London unfolds in unexpected ways. It was exactly what I needed – a delightful escape that brought a much-needed dose of joy to my holiday.
So, if you’re looking for a unique and memorable stay in London, consider the Treehouse Hotel. It might just become your favorite London escape, too!
