Editorial review:
A “slice of New York urban chic” close to Covent Garden, this Philippe Starck-designed hotel St Martins Lane is barely noticeable from the outside. (In that glass box??) Its 204 rooms have floor to ceiling windows and spectacular West End views. The public rooms are busy meeting points and everything is beautiful.
