The Stratford, Autograph Collection *****

🎢 A staycation in the clouds. High above the buzz of East London, this 4-star retreat reimagines city luxury. Inspired by New York’s iconic long-stay residences, its triple-height lobby and glass atrium set the tone for a space that blends Scandinavian cool with old-world indulgence. With 145 rooms boasting floor-to-ceiling windows, natural timbers, and sleek stone bathrooms, it’s a haven of light and elegance. Between a workout in the 24-hour gym, dinner at Kitchen E20, and cocktails on the terrace (both not included), your stay here is bound to be anything but ordinary.

⭐️ The highlight : A highline sky terrace with sweeping views of East London’s skyline – the perfect perch for sunset drinks.
