Andaz London Liverpool Street – a Concept by Hyatt

Living in London, I’m always on the hunt for a staycation spot that actually feels like an escape without leaving the city. I recently checked into the Andaz, and the first thing that hits you is the sheer 'vastness' of the place. It’s got a scale to it that feels grand but still super welcoming. My room was beautiful, I’m a sucker for high ceilings, and these really gave the space a premium, airy feel.

As someone who keeps a busy schedule, a good hotel gym is a non-negotiable for me, and the one here is awesome. I loved the balance of the property; there are plenty of private corners if you need to disappear for a bit, but the communal spaces are great if you want to get involved in the buzz. Plus, the staff were super friendly and made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable.

Coming from sunny Singapore, the Andaz London was exactly what I needed in the cold weather. The interior design is grand yet quirky, making it very Instagrammable all around. I had one of the best sleeps ever here—the bed is incredible for unwinding after a long week of work. Also, don't miss dinner at Miyako; it’s an authentic Japanese spot that serves food that tastes just like home.
