Threadneedles Hotel 5 Threadneedle St, London EC2R 8AY, UK

This former Victorian bank has been transformed into a discreet, boutique-style hotel crowned by an elegant stained glass dome - an unexpected find in the City’s heart. The hotel exudes grandeur in a thoroughly modern way - while service is polished, it’s also unpretentious - amid the bustle of the Square Mile. Inside this haven, you can dine on Marco Pierre White cuisine, and take afternoon tea in the iconic dome lounge.

At Threadneedles, we offer a fully DDA-compliant room that has been specifically adapted for those with limited mobility. On our ground floor and facing out to Threadneedles Street, this room has step-free access and features a low-level queen-sized bed and a spacious en-suite, with low sink and adapted shower. The large room (around 29sq m) contains the same facilities as our other spaces, including a smart TV and iPod docking station.
