Review: The M By Montcalm Hotel, Shoreditch

Last week I was lucky enough to stay at The M By Montcalm Hotel in Shoreditch. My few days spent there were essentially an out-of-body experience (you might have seen on my Instagram that I was being all mysterious and lounging around in a robe and slippers): I was in London to do some modelling for the 2016 Mii Cosmetics ad campaign (crazy, I know!) I left my student house on Monday morning for a little London adventure, feeling very strange to be swapping my Stylistics seminar for such a different scenario! It was an incredible few days- I met some lovely people and did things I never thought I'd do- and staying in such a beautiful place really made it memorable.

My room was a beautiful Junior Suite: it did indeed turn out to be the 'study in sophistication' that the website promises! It was such a big space to relax and everything was so sleek and luxurious. The room provdies you all the essentials you need, from bottled water to fluffy slippers to Hermès toiletries (essentials, yep). My suite was essentially technology-operated as well (everything including the light switch, which was a bit odd) so it feels as though you're in an alternate universe...be it an extremely pleasant one.

The views from the hotel are stunning. I could happily have sat and watched the city go by but it was such a jam-packed few days. We did however have the chance to take full advantage of the swimming pool, spa and access to the club lounge...the hot chocolate there is absolute heaven. It tastes even better if enjoyed whilst giddily prancing round in robes after visiting the jacuzzi, surrounded by business men holding meetings... we seriously lived the suite life. 

And yes, I can confirm that selfie lighting is 10/10.

It was certainly a stay I will never forget. The staff were super helpful (providing seriously detailed instructions on where to go to do some shopping, ordering us taxis and making our beds just to sleep in) and made our stay so enjoyable. Take me back!
