The Andaz Liverpool Street takes advantage of what the Great Eastern
started but perhaps never realised to its full potential. Though a
Hyatt, this is not just any ordinary building. A spectacular space
attached to Liverpool Street station, this hotel is full of nooks,
crannies, and legends that only a full tour can reveal. There is a
working Masonite temple, complete with the all- seeing eye. The
stained glass roof in 1901 survived the war, with just one piece of
glass replaced in symbolic red. Art is all over including stencilling
on the mini- Guggenheimesque atrium. The Andaz Studio, which was once
a private club up a secretive stone stair now hosts a state of the art
kitchen for private dinners. Friday nights is fish and chips at Catch,
a fish bar done in the original 1920s colours. Summertimes the staff
transforms indoor spaces into such themes as Singledon (a singles
meeting event during Wimbledon) or a designer jumble sale for
fashionistas. When we stayed, Liverpool football was in residence
along with a movie being filmed. A complimentary coffee bar and no
front- desk check-in, as well as Ren toiletries and extremely thorough
guest services take it all to the next level.
