Frommer's Review
In 2007, a new and untested branch of the Hyatt group (Andaz) transformed one of the East End's most venerable hotels into a glossy and very upscale monument to relaxed chic. Strategically positioned at the junction of two trendy, arts-conscious neighborhoods (Shoreditch and Hoxton) and the financial district, it managed to gracefully incorporate respect for the cutting-edge arts with allegiance to old-fashioned British pomp and circumstance. The original hotel dates from 1884, when it was designed by architect Charles Barry, best known for his work on the Houses of Parliament. The hotel's exterior is abloom in all its Victorian glory, complete with a stained-glass dome. Bedrooms are supremely comfortable, with state-of-the-art bathrooms and color schemes of dark red and white.
Facilities:
4 restaurants; 5 bars; concierge; state-of-the-art health club; room service

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
