Why Sanderson London is a must this summer

Sanderson London is the perfect destination for guests looking to relax and unwind before a night of painting the town red. The space, which blurs the line between baroque and modern, extravagance and
simplicity, was designed by the renowned French designer Philippe Starck and, more recently, Tim Andreas.

The 150-room luxury hotel maintains a sense of whimsy, while offering state of the art details and luxurious touches at every turn.

Before painting the town red, you must line your stomach, and The Restaurant at Sanderson London is the ideal place for this. Found away from Sanderson London’s iconic lobby, and just off the legendary Long Bar, The Restaurant at Sanderson London blends visionary design with exceptional menus in the incredible setting of the hotel’s courtyard terrace.

Here you can satisfy your hunger from dawn until dusk, as The Restaurant at Sanderson London serves up a range of delicious options for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Main courses include Soy Roasted Aubergine with harissa, sauce vierge and feta, or our personal favourite – the deliciously marinated Jerk Chicken with frisée endive, coriander and pickled red onion.

Blending visionary design with exceptional menus in the incredible setting of the hotel’s courtyard terrace, it’s here that guests can enjoy one of London’s most famous tea parties, the Sanderson’s Mad Hatters Afternoon Tea or the family-focused Little Hatters Afternoon Tea.

The aforementioned Long Bar measures in at an impressive 80-feet in length, and is at the heart of the Sanderson social scene, having been a regular drinking haunt of many celebs in its time. Another element of Sanderson London designed by Philippe Starck, the stylish, glowing onyx bar serves cocktails and bar food whilst epitomising style and elegance just meters away from the hotel reception.

Visitors to Sanderson London can finish the week off with Long Bar’s DJ, giving everybody that Friday feeling and spinning the decks every weekend. The Long Bar is also available for private use when hiring either the Courtyard or The Restaurant.

Sanderson London’s Purple Bar, meanwhile, is one of the city’s hottest gathering places. The rich, plush purple bar swathed in silk and lined with Venetian mirrors is the perfect setting for an intimate event. The chic and decadent lounge draped in symphonies of purple, lavender and violet is ideal for intimate night-time revelries, providing an intimate setting for product launches, receptions and cocktail masterclasses.

For a night of total indulgence, The Penthouse at Sanderson London transforms guests into a world of consummate luxury with its private elevator entrance and unique collection of custom furnishings including the handwoven rug inspired by 15th century artist Filippino Lippi.

The ground-breaking space is designed without interior walls – instead the bathroom and dressing room are encased in a glowing floor-to-ceiling glass box wrapped with layers of sheer curtains. Filling the entire top-floor, the spacious and elegantly appointed two-bedroom suite features silver-leaf sleigh beds, large plasma screen televisions, a kitchenette and striking views. The Sanderson London Penthouse is nothing short of pure glamour.
