CitizenM hotels are a unique breed of accommodation, offering a streamlined, minimalist experience designed for city explorers who prioritize comfort and style over traditional luxury. The focus is on functional design and communal spaces, creating an atmosphere that is both vibrant and welcoming.
A Compact Oasis for City Adventures
The CitizenM Tower of London embodies the core values of the brand, providing a modern, efficient base from which to explore the city. The compact rooms are cleverly designed, with king-size beds, powerful showers, and ample storage. They are not intended for extended lounging, but as stylish launchpads for urban adventures.
A Communal Hub with a Modern Edge
What the hotel lacks in traditional amenities, it more than makes up for with its exceptional communal areas. The living room and canteen, both located on the ground floor, are bright and inviting, featuring a unique blend of contemporary art, stylish furniture, and clever design elements.
The chain mail wall, cleverly dividing the two spaces, adds a touch of industrial chic, creating a dynamic and welcoming atmosphere. The art collection, curated with care and attention, further enhances the hip and modern vibe of the hotel.
A Prime Location for Exploring London
The hotel’s location right next to Tower Hill tube station makes it incredibly easy to access all of London’s major attractions, including Tower Bridge, Bermondsey Street, and Borough Market. The convenience of the tube is a major plus, allowing guests to explore the city like locals.
A Seamless Experience from Check-in to Breakfast
Check-in is quick and easy, with self-service terminals located in the center of the hotel. However, friendly staff are always available to assist with any questions or concerns. We were pleasantly surprised to be able to check in earlier than our scheduled time, making for a smooth and efficient experience.
A Modern and Well-Equipped Room
The rooms, though compact, are well-designed and functional, providing everything needed for a comfortable stay. The clever storage solutions make the most of the limited space, while the array of amenities (including a full-length mirror, desk, fridge, and powerful shower) ensures a pleasant and convenient experience.
A Touch of Luxury in the Communal Spaces
The living room and canteen are not just functional spaces, but vibrant hubs that add a touch of luxury to the hotel experience. The stylish furniture, contemporary art, and creative nods to the local area create an inspiring and comfortable atmosphere.
We found ourselves drawn to the buzzing energy of these spaces, enjoying a coffee or watching the city’s diverse characters come and go.
A Hipster Haven with Breathtaking Views
The bar on the 7th floor offers stunning views of the Thames, perfectly complementing the hip and stylish atmosphere found throughout the hotel. The business meeting facilities on the same floor are equally stylish and functional, providing a comfortable and professional setting for meetings or work sessions.
A Delicious and Delightful Breakfast
Breakfast, included in our rate, was a pleasant surprise, featuring a wide selection of hot and cold buffet options. The freshly brewed coffee, artisan breads, and friendly staff made for a delightful start to the day.
Smart Thinking, Exceptional Value
CitizenM Tower of London lives up to the brand’s core value of “smart thinking”, offering a stylish, modern, and efficient hotel experience that caters to the needs of city explorers and business travelers.
While it may lack some traditional amenities, the hotel’s unique design, convenient location, and vibrant atmosphere make it an exceptional value for travelers looking for a hip and memorable stay in London.
