Hotel 01 / London

The Ashlar

contemporary London design hotel

A quiet limestone facade on a side street that prefers not to announce itself. Inside: chalk planes, cobalt accents, and rooms that treat daylight as a material.

Editor's note

Architecture first — a study in proportion and restraint

Rooms & suites

Where you sleep

Low beds, wide windows, pale oak and concrete-grey textiles. Nothing shouts; everything aligns.

Dining

Table

A ground-floor kitchen serving British produce with a short, confident menu

Breakfast is the serious meal; dinner keeps its voice down.

Wellness

Restore

Compact basement pool and a treatment room that knows its limits

Useful rather than theatrical.

Who it suits

Guest

Travellers who notice the joinery before the minibar
