Hyatt Place London City East: An Art-Inspired Hotel
Hyatt Place London City East blends modern style, comfort, and convenience in the heart of London’s East End, offering a vibrant and artistic experience for guests. The hotel has fully embraced its dynamic location through a series of bespoke art commissions, transforming its public spaces into an engaging gallery.
Renowned street artist Jay Kaes has spray-painted a striking mural in the basement reception, setting the tone for the creative atmosphere. Throughout the hotel, guests will encounter a thoughtful integration of botanicals in installations, along with rich teal and ochre hues in the upholstery and paintwork, giving the interiors a lively, colourful feel.
Stay in Style: Contemporary Rooms with City Views
Art plays a central role in the hotel’s identity, with specially commissioned pieces from local artists adorning many of the communal areas. The hotel’s restaurant, SOTTO Cucina & Bar, features murals from London-based street artists and an exhibition of sustainable art. Most notably, a new artwork by Sam Kerridge was commissioned specifically for the launch of the restaurant, adding a unique touch to the underground Sicilian kitchen and bar, where rustic elegance is complemented by contemporary art. This seamless fusion of creativity and culture reflects the hotel’s deep connection to the artistic spirit of East London.
