The new Park Plaza at Waterloo hurts. It hurts because it’s so good, you can’t bear having to leave.

The biggest hotel opening in London in 2017, this is an ultramodern, even futuristic hotel. Don’t be put off that it’s one of a huge chain – it’s anything but bland.

Checking in on a buzzing Monday evening, I felt like I was at a glamorous airport departure hall, with dark mood lighting and a polite attendant handing out cookies.

In fact throughout the hotel, which opened this summer, lighting is used to dramatic effect. The corridors are hushed and dark, giving a sense of privacy.
