A SNAPPY STAY
If you love photography, then Shoreditch’s Montcalm East is the hotel for you…
If you live and breathe photography, then check into Montcalm East the next time you’re in London, which is set to open in Shoreditch this Spring.
Occupying a prime position between Shoreditch and the City, and a short stroll from Old Street, the 288-room hotel features one of the area’s most striking architectural landmarks, with a diamondshaped façade heavily influenced by the work of Tate Modern artist Bridget Riley.
Inside, Shoreditch-based design studio Blacksheep have paired geometric shapes and muted colour tones for clean and calming spaces while bespoke artwork in the rooms plays on the trademark street art posters of the area.
Keen photographers can put their pointand-shoot skills to the test at the hotel’s PhotoLab, which has its own dark room. The photography theme continues throughout the hotel with a rotating gallery of photographic art from emerging London snappers in collaboration with art curators CULTURE A. In a further nod to all things photography, there are works from famous photographers on the mezzanine level in partnership with Pop Art specialists Proud Galleries. marriott.com
