Sitting right next to Westfield Stratford City, this design- led hotel in East London has quickly become a popular pick with visitors to the capital.
The Gantry is perfectly positioned for those who want shopping, dining, and entertainment at their doorstep, while also offering excellent transport links into central London.
With 291 beautifully appointed bedrooms that provide guests with luxurious mattresses and sound insulation, this dog-friendly hotel combines stylish accommodation with a vibrant collection of food and drink spaces, making it as much of a social hotspot as it is a place to stay.
Boasting not one but two rooftops, The Gantry gives guests and locals alike the chance to soak up East London’s skyline, whether it’s at the chic STK, or laidback Union Social. Union Social’s relaxed drinking and dining space is completed by a wraparound terrace framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, where inside, diners can order small plates for sharing or take a more traditional route with starters, mains, sides, and desserts. The menu offers seasonal soups, fresh fish dishes, indulgent pastas, or juicy burgers, all inspired by a range of global influences. The cocktails deserve special mention too. They’re beautifully presented, often adorned with florals and fruit, making them as Instagrammable as they are (dangerously) delicious.
Adding to the mix is Soul Mama, a live music and dining concept that fuses performance with culinary flair, and Hermanos Colombian Coffee Roasters, a popular pop-up coffee shop located on the hotel’s ground floor.
This bold and modern destination is more than just a hotel, but a cultural hub where food, music, and design come together.
