Reaching for the skies at a new London hotel

There is something very calming and serene – unless you are afraid of heights, of course – about staring down at a world in miniature from the 19th floor of a sky-scraping hotel.

The new Pan Pacific London is designed by Yabu Pushelberg

Not always known for their elevation, London’s luxury hotels may be high-end in style, but they’re positively low-rise compared to the towers further to the East.

Well, now, thanks to one of those Asian brands, London has the Pan Pacific, also the first for the brand in Europe. Of course Shangri-La The Shard has a towering structure that precedes this one, but Pan Pacific London has now deftly placed 237 rooms (including 43 suites) in a part of town that could surely well do with it: the City. Just steps from Liverpool Street, the hotel straddles the buzz of Shoreditch, the stylish shopping of Spitalfields and London’s high-flying financial district.
