Breathing

Breathing
life back into a protected 60s building (the former
Saint Georges Hotel), this nostalgic playground is filled with
eclectic furniture, throwback curios and vintage furniture.

The hotel’s treehouse theme is evident from the moment you step
into the lift lined with bark – riding it feels as though you are
ascending the inside of a tree trunk – before arriving at the
15th-floor reception. Here, the Treehouse
Hotel lives up to its name and flaunts its sustainability
initiatives. Walls are clad with reclaimed or recycled wood; plants
burst through gaps in the walls and cascade from ceilings. Playful
touches are dotted throughout: jars are filled with toys and sweets
at the reception front desk, while brightly coloured cuckoo clocks
adorn the bedrooms. The hotel’s messages are clear: life’s simple
pleasures can be enjoyed at any age, and simplicity doesn’t have to
cost the earth.

Rooms

Ninety-five rooms stretch from the 9th to the 14th floor, each
with views over London’s skyline. They’re brimming with quirky
treehouse memorabilia too, such as brightly coloured bird boxes,
cuckoo clocks and a tree trunk spearing through the bathroom.
Cuddle up with one of the soft toys on the double bed and entertain
yourself with trinkets dotted around the room, including
magic-eight balls and kaleidoscopes.

What’s for breakfast?

The little sister to Los Angeles-based Toca
Madera, the Treehouse Hotel’s restaurant Madera serves elevated
Mexican cuisine with a side order of city vistas. Enjoy a hot
breakfast of Mexican omelette, enchiladas and eggs “Bennito”, or
head back to the ground floor to find Backyard, a bar with exposed
wood and branches serving coffee and snacks to go.

How about lunch and dinner?

While views with breakfast are lovely, London’s glittering
skyline really comes alive at night. Nab a window seat at Madera to
dine in style. Wicker lamps hang from the ceiling, statement
wallpaper creates a vibrant feel and the open kitchen adds a
theatrical flair to the experience. The vegan ceviche and halibut
tacos are great – but the star of the show is undeniably the king
prawns, cooked tableside on hot lava stones and served with poblano
peppers and pico de gallo. All of the food is sustainably sourced,
naturally.

Is there a bar?

Head up to The Nest, a rooftop bar boasting uninterrupted
360-degree panoramas across the capital. Choose a cocktail from the
menu – the ingredients of the “Carmine Bee Eater” were entirely
sourced from within a 30m radius of the hotel – before heading
outside to soak up the vista. Admire the living biophilic wall and
lush greenery adorning the rooftop (before hastily retreating
inside; if it’s cold out, views are better enjoyed without a bitter
wind).

Amenities?

Bathrooms are stocked with 100 per cent natural, paraben-free,
cruelty-free products inside recyclable, refillable bottles.

Things you should know

Going above and beyond visible initiatives, Treehouse Hotel’s
sustainability programming includes a dedicated composting and
recycling scheme, reduced single-use plastics operations and
recycled glassware in rooms. Ask at the reception to borrow a
bicycle to nip through London’s busy streets, thereby limiting your
own carbon footprint during your stay.

Within a short walk you’ll find…

Located at the top of Regent Street, Treehouse Hotel is just a
hop and skip away from bustling Oxford Circus and London’s busiest
shopping district. If that doesn’t appeal, take a stroll up to
Marylebone High Street to browse in Daunt Books or sip on coffee in
any of the charming cafés.
