Who We Are

Sun Street is a brand new 5-star hotel on the borderline of Shoreditch and the City of London. The mix of traditional Georgian frontage and vibrantly elegant interiors reflects this position at the intersection of two contrasting areas of the capital.

While Shoreditch is characterised by hipsters, dotcom entrepreneurs, vintage shops, craft beers and cosmopolitan cuisine, the City of London oozes tradition from every bank, livery company, pinstripe suit and champagne bar.

Sun Street Hotel welcomes you all … with its own inimitable fusion of everything that is wonderful about London.

Inside this oasis of tranquility in the heart of London, you’ll find a labyrinth of chic, comfortable bar, lounges, library, Orangery and members room, a fabulous 40-cover fine-dining restaurant with intimate spaces and a wine list to die for, and a glorious Sun Deck reserved for residents and members.

Everything we do demonstrates our absolute dedication to the guest. Everything we do demonstrates we care.
