Reign over London from your home away from home at Shangri-La Hotel, At The Shard, London, set in a city hot spot. England’s buzzing capital seems almost placid from behind the floor-to-ceiling windows that encase each of the contemporary 202 rooms and suites. Refined materials and Asian touches create a Zen-like tranquillity. Enjoy the panorama at the Skypool or work out in the fully equipped gym, and follow it up with an in-room massage. The culinary team puts their hearts into seasonal, modern European cuisine with an Asian twist using ingredients from nearby Borough Market; try hand-dived scallops or organic Welsh lamb.
