The in-room Void<\/a> sound system was no afterthought \u2013 it was central. I queued up my \u201cHot Goths Only\u201d playlist (don\u2019t judge, because yes its back to back with tracks like Sex Dwarf, Don\u2019t Fear the Reaper and Lesbian Vampyres from Outer Space) and let it fill the space properly. It\u2019s rare for a hotel to understand that music isn\u2019t just something that should play in the background \u2013 it creates an atmosphere, an identity, and sets the mood.<\/p>\n

To the right, a massive standalone bathtub \u2013 cast iron, or at least convincingly so \u2013 sat like a relic from a time long before Denmark Street bustled with music legends now and then. And beyond the crittall windows, St Giles-in-the-Fields Church<\/a>, with its looming presence, added to the whole gothic narrative. I leaned into it fully, watching Sinners from the four poster bed on that plasma TV before drifting off.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Later, I headed down to Thirteen<\/a>, the hotel\u2019s bar and restaurant, with a friend and the energy shift was immediate. Where the room felt introspective and cocooning, Thirteen was social, playful and just a little chaotic in the best way. The staff \u2013 dressed in red and black brocade \u2013 struck that perfect balance between relaxed and sharp. There was humour, teasing and actual personality, and it felt anything but scripted.<\/p>\n

Cocktails first. The Gothic Fire was rich and slightly dangerous \u2013 amaretto and Campari cutting through with a bitter edge \u2013 while the Lady Stardust leaned brighter, fruitier, topped with sparkling wine. Across the table, Thirteen\u2019s Negroni came with a wink and a \u201cwe could tell you, but then we\u2019d have to\u2026\u201d which felt entirely on brand.<\/p>\n

Food-wise, it was Japanese-inspired small plates done with flair rather than fuss. Snow crab tacos were fresh and layered, crispy chicken rolls hit that perfect crunch-to-soft ratio and the JFC bao buns were messy in the way you want them to be. Thirteen isn\u2019t trying to be a purist dining experience \u2013 it\u2019s designed for sharing, for grazing, for lingering as the DJ (who kicked off around 9:45) gradually shifted the room from upbeat to something closer to a late-night jazz bar mood.<\/p>\n

Back upstairs, the apartment felt even better after the buzz of the bar.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The in-room Void sound system was no afterthought \u2013 it was central.
