Hotel in Detail:
Compact luxury hits downtown London. Compact luxury is the buzzword Z Hotels have given their chain and which of course pretty much fits the ethos of the Z Hotel Soho and its uber modern designer hotel feel. While most hotels who advertise big screen TV's in their bedrooms will have a 32 inch here at the Z Hotel you get a 40 inch flat screen TV. The beds are a big deal and are all hand crafted. Bedrooms feature complimentary wireless internet access. Every bedroom has private bathroom facilities separated by a glass partition (wet room, shower, toiltries ) and while they may be on the small side compared to regular hotels the clever use of space gives them a much bigger feel than their bare dimensions might suggest. For example the beds design allows for under bed storage and there is wall mounted hanging space for your clothes. Additionally they are all air-conditioned (with individual temperature control) and soundproofed. In your bedroom you will find a hairdryer, tea/coffee facilities and an iPod docking station.Onsite is the hotels own Z Cafe which serves breakfast and all day snacks. Breakfast options include fresh ciabattas, smoked salmon bagels and cereals (including organic options). Snacks during the day include seasonal soups, baguettes and platters. Also serves wines and Champagnes. As the weather improves into the summer guests can dine Al fresco dining in the hotel courtyard.
