The Southwark Rose (luxury)

A hidden gem, no doubt about it, because you don't find hotels as stylish as this at the price very often! It's the perfect antidote to the stylish opulence of the West End, yet still very convenient for all the tourist attractions you might wish to visit. Of course, nowhere in London is far from anywhere else, with the superb underground railway (the "tube") system, but this puts you within easy access of the major attractions of the South Bank, and those of the North Bank are only a short stroll across London Bridge or Waterloo Bridge. In the hotel's own words, they feature sleek, contemporary design, but there are no frills, lavish restaurants or ultra-trendy bars. Instead you will find excellent design, stylish décor and very affordable prices. The hotel is a mere five-minute walk from London Bridge station on the South Bank, convenient for the Tate Modern and a little further away from the London Eye, Tower Bridge and (across the river) the City.
There are about 80 bedrooms, 6 suites, and the rooms are furnished with walk-in shower, air conditioning, wireless Internet access, electronic black-out blinds, and so on....the style is contemporary, understated and yet at the same time eye-catching.
The Rose Restaurant and Bar serves breakfast and dinner, with a straightforward and interesting menu which is reasonably priced, with specialties served according to the season.
