Sanderson
Guest rooms are open plan, with that favorite of Starck tricks, the panoptical bathroom — be prepared to know your traveling companion very well indeed by the end of the stay. But though the layout may be hypermodern, the furnishings themselves provide some historical grounding, including sleigh beds and ceiling-mounted oil paintings, as well as rugs patterned after enlargements of Voltaire’s letters. The result is no less whimsical than the typical Starck room, though perhaps a bit more subtle in execution, and the details save the all-white scheme from bordering on the clinical.
Downstairs, though, all bets are off, from the Dali-inspired red-lipped sofa to the glowing onyx Long Bar to the Agua Spa, which crosses over into the Kubrickian all-white territory where the guest rooms feared to tread. Don’t fret, though, it’s perfectly relaxing, as long as you’re thinking of heaven (the designer’s intent) rather than A Clockwork Orange. The Restaurant at Sanderson, just off the Long Bar, serves modern continental brasserie fare and classic British dishes, all in a typically theatrical space. Any Schrager venture strives to be the place to be seen — the Sanderson is no different, and, as usual, it succeeds.
How to get there:
Sanderson is a 7-minute walk from the Oxford Circus tube station. If you're arriving from Heathrow Airport, the most convenient transfer option to central London is the Heathrow Express train, which leaves Heathrow Airport every 15 minutes and takes 15 minutes to arrive at Paddington Station. One-way fares are available from £25 and round-trip fares from £37. By black cab, Sanderson is approximately a 45-minute ride from Heathrow Airport (depending on traffic) and can cost upwards of £50.

Great location. Got a free upgrade to two rooms which for a week’s stay was pretty amazing.
The contemporary design is in-tact! Since, the place was built. It was London, however! Not, New York.
Philippe Starck-designed hotel was an incredible experience, as are all his hotels. Service was top-notch. Great location in center of London, just five minutes from Elizabeth Line, which is a fast direct train to Heathrow. Highly recommended.
