Perfectly positioned in London\u2019s fashionable and creative culture, the Courthouse Hotel Shoreditch<\/a> is a five-star hotel that we can\u2019t wait to experience.<\/p>\n

As its name suggests, Courthouse Hotel\u2019s history is firmly placed in the hands of the law. It was once the Old Street Magistrate\u2019s Court and police station, hosting high-profile cases and appearing in many tabloid newspapers. From the Kray Twins to author George Orwell, the court has seen an array of well-known individuals.<\/p>\n

\"Review:

We were warmly welcomed with not even an air of the hotel\u2019s criminal past and took in a tour of the hotel. The original holding cells downstairs are now part of a chic bar, transforming each cell into a modern and arty private booth. Leather banquettes replace hard wooden benches, and an indulgent Chesterfield-style padded wall covers the brickwork of the original cell that East-End gangsters would have come across after being hauled off the streets. The original doors are intact, and the brickwork is the very same the Kray Twins would have seen as they were held in the cells there. There\u2019s an unmistakable, mysterious feel, and we loved the clever way the basement had been transformed into a super cool luxury bar.<\/p>\n

Our room<\/h3>\n

Up to our room on the sixth floor, where we were captivated by the views \u2013 summertime cocktails on the fifth-floor terrace would be sublime. The hotel also has a bowling alley, cinema and games room \u2013 you\u2019d never have to leave!<\/p>\n
