“A quietly cool urban hotel combining brutalist architecture with soft interiors, a welcome escape from the noise and busy East London crowds. Rooms are understated but comfortable. Complete with an atmospheric Japanese restaurant, a vibrant members’ club and first-rate wellness facilities. Spot on. ”

Hotel review

With its brutalist, concrete facade and warm, terracotta interiors made up of brushed metals, layered woods and tactile fabrics, the Aethos Shoreditch pays subtle homage to East London’s industrial heritage. Walking into the lobby you’re greeted with soft lighting, sofas and low-slung chairs; a space designed for both hotel guests and locals alike. Enjoy a good coffee or relaxed lunch at Aethos Café, or simply spend a few quiet hours working from a laptop.

Entry level rooms are spacious by London standards, while larger suites come with their own dining areas and kitchenettes – all are done in muted earthy palettes with polished walnut finishings. Modern bathrooms boast white marble and brushed gold finishes, including rainfall showers with good water pressure and an unusually generous toiletry collection. Indulge in a menu of in-room treatments and a members-only fitness studio, with a dedicated spa set to open in the future.

Mitsu London, the hotel’s Japanese restaurant, is a highlight (and a big draw for locals). Interiors are a mix of dark timber and Japanese minimalism with striking red lighting that makes the space feel moody and cinematic. Standout dishes include buttery otoro nigiri, smoky robata plates and glazed black cod miso.  Cocktails are slick and there’s an impressive sake collection if you’re feeling adventurous. For breakfast, guests can expect well-made coffee, excellent pastries and a decent menu of hearty and healthy options to choose from.

The hotel is particularly well positioned for exploring East London, with Spitalfields, Brick Lane, Columbia Road and the galleries of Hoxton all within easy reach. The closest stations are Liverpool Street and Shoreditch High Street, making it convenient for business travellers needing quick access to The City.
