About

Situated close to the busy Liverpool Street station, the Sun Street Hotel is an elegant, design-led
sanctuary beautifully encased inside six Georgian terraced houses. Wander in from the street, and
you’ll leave the corporate streets of the Square Mile and enter a whimsical world of elegant
interiors, full of snugs and intimate spaces from which to escape the bustle of a London street. The
hotel’s 41 well-appointed rooms are sublime, all with king-sized beds and a personality of their own
(deep colours, patterned wallpapers, and contrasting textures), not far removed from the stylish
character of nearby Shoreditch. Suites are stunning with private entrance halls and separate living
rooms brought to life with luxe velvets and busy frame-filled walls, while bathrooms boast rainforest
showers, marble sinks and full-size toiletries from London’s Penhaligon's, and are finished with
elegant metro tiling and contrasting hardware in chic metallics.

The Sun Street Hotel’s design-led interiors lend themselves well to accessibility concerns, with
accessible entranceways and exceptionally helpful staff fully trained to support every guest’s
accessibility needs. Additionally, the Sun Street Hotel has a small selection of adapted rooms
available in its superior category (except room 109), and anyone travelling with an assistance dog is advised to notify
the hotel in advance (to ensure they get a treat or two).
While the hotel doesn’t have a spa, the interiors of the ground floor are incredibly relaxing, with the
Library room and Club Room both conjuring the privacy and style of a private club, with hints at the
hotel’s Malaysian roots found in their design. The Orangerie bar and restaurant is a delight, set
under a sunny atrium and serving a delicious menu of sharing plates with a twist of British and
Asian flavours. This confluence of cultural inspirations is carried even further in Quercus, the
hotel’s main restaurant, where an a la carte menu of South East Asian-inspired cuisine is elevated
by the finest local produce. The lobby bar is ideal for cocktails, with a refined list of tipples served
in a moody, low-light setting, relaxed enough for a romantic end to a night out in London. Try the
hotel’s signature concoction, the Mata Hari, a Sapling Vodka-infused rosemary milk punch.
Situated on the border of Shoreditch and the City, just a few steps from Liverpool Street Station,
the Sun Street Hotel sets you in a superb position to explore all of London. Arrive at Liverpool
Street Station (via the Elizabeth Line, for example), and you’ll barely need to walk to reach your
room while nearby London highlights such as the Tower of London, bohemian Brick Lane and busy
Spitalfields Market are all a short walk away. 
The sights of the South Bank, pretty Paddington, Canary Wharf and Oxford Circus are all within
easy reach by a mix of Elizabeth Line and London Underground directly from Liverpool Street
Station.

Can't Miss Experiences

Take a walk from the hotel to beautiful Shoreditch to see the creative centre of London. Snap photos of some of London's best street art, shop for vintage clothes and finish with afternoon tea in one of the hotel's intimate nooks.
