Imagine, if you will, a bare white room. Add a Scandinavian-style double bed with crisp white linen, a tall white unit set at a jaunty angle in the middle of the floor, a glass desk which lights up and a white plastic stool. Odds on, the room you are imagining has a door. Shut it and paint it white so that there is no clue that there is a door there. Welcome to your bedroom at the StMartin's Lane hotel.
The StMartin's Lane hotel is more than a hotel, it's an experience. Part of the Morgans group of hotels it is known for its quirky nature which is aided and abetted by Phillipe Starck's rather unique designs
Situated in the heart of London, within spitting distance of the National Gallery, Leicester Square and Covent Garden, you could be forgiven for walking straight past the rather underwhelming entrance. The hotel exterior hides ...
Advantages: good cast, good soundtrack. Disadvantages: none
when i watched the 51st state i was not sure what to expect, but as it turned out the 51st state was a really enjoyable movie.
set in liverpool for the mostpart, the film has an excellent story good characters and some really funny moments, as for the dvd it has plenty of special features as you would expect, from the making of the movie to cast interviews and even a photo gallery.
i liked the music in the film the music is well suited to my taste, ther was not many special effects but i think it is great when you don't need lots of special effects to make a really good film and that is one of the reasons i liked the 51st state.
in my opnion the 51st state is worth a look. ...
Advantages: It's just wonderful Disadvantages: You have to find it first...
Number 45 StMartinsLane is anything but an ostentatious building. Looking like an old 1960?s cinema you would be forgiven for walking past without even realising it is a hotel. Oh, and yeah, there?s nothing to SAY it is a hotel either. There?s no sign, there?s no writing in the window, there?s just a revolving door?
So having walked up and down the Theatreland street several times in the pouring rain, bumping my stewardess?s luggage trolley on all the kerbs I was less than impressed with this hotel before I had even walked through the door!
Yet hang on, StMartinsLane Hotel is far from inexpensive: with single rooms starting from £160 and reaching the heady heights of £340 for a night: surely this Ian Schrager hotel would be in the same stratosphere as the famous Delano in Miami, the Hudson in New York and the beautiful Clift ...
