Once an Edwardian magistrates’ court, Courthouse Hotel Shoreditch reimagines its Grade II-listed bones into a playful five-star escape. Stylish rooms come with all the thrills, while the spa, indoor pool, sauna, steam room and gym set a wellness-first tempo. The surprises keep coming: a 196-seat cinema for cosy screenings and a two-lane bowling alley for date-night bragging rights. Dine on British comfort classics at The Jailhouse Bar & Restaurant, sip cocktails under original details, then ascend to the rooftop for skyline views. From street art tours to gallery crawls, Shoreditch delivers vibrant days and neon nights; Brick Lane is 15 minutes away. With easy links to St Paul’s, Tate Modern and the West End, you’re perfectly placed for culture. For couples, this is East London’s most entertaining love nest.
