Lonely Planet review

This thoroughly modern hotel is a master class in contemporary design and its bold statement of intent is evident throughout. Some will argue that the bedrooms are devoid of warmth, but we loved the sharp, decisive lines, over-abundance of glasswork and all-round futuristic look that makes the rooms seem like the captain's quarters on the Enterprise.

The much-trumpeted Smithfield development is a slow work in progress, so this hotel remains the flagship accommodation of an as-yet incomplete fleet. But it's close enough to the city centre and the heart of the action to make staying here a great option anyway. The bedrooms have terrific facilities, including sweet CD rack systems, LCD screen TVs - with cable - and air-con (although we still wonder why this is required in such a temperate climate!). The bathrooms are a little impractical, sacrificing function over form, but we liked the large, separate shower rooms. The penthouse suites have their own balconies from which there are great views of the city - and you can retreat and slink into your own personal Jacuzzi. If you need to go any higher, an old chimney stack next to the hotel has been converted into a panoramic viewing platform with the best views in town.
