Pan Pacific London
From
641.133 €
“Indoor pool on the 19th floor with floor-to-ceiling windows plunging onto the London skyline, open until 22h.”
Pan Pacific London opened in 2021 in a tower by Kohn Pedersen Fox, all smoked glass and sharp angles. We head up to the 19th: the 18-metre pool floats above the City, natural light filtered through bronze screens. The rooms, from the 18th floor, embrace Asian sobriety: dark wood, grey marble, deep bathtubs facing the windows. The Ajala spa (1,200 m²) offers hammam, sauna, treatment cabins and a Technogym-equipped gym. Straits Kitchen serves honest pan-Asian cuisine, no fanfare, with a live dim sum bar. From 641 € a night, we pay for the view and modernity, not the soul: it's an impeccable 5★ business hotel, not a historic palace. Service remains attentive, discreet, efficient ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend the Pan Pacific to business travellers who want a modern 5★, not an old-school palace. It's the address for international executives, thirty-something couples on city breaks, well-off families who prioritise views and facilities over historic charm. Heritage buffs will give it a miss.
The building

At the table
Restaurants, bar, service
Straits Kitchen serves honest pan-Asian cuisine: live dim sum bar, dishes from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand. Copious buffet breakfast, service until 22h30. The 19th-floor bar offers cocktails and views, short but well-executed menu. Nothing gastronomic, everything reliably good.
