Wake up to the best of the UK capital at Pan Pacific London, which is sitting pretty near arterial Liverpool Street. Old-meets-new is usually a cliché, but Pan Pacific’s public plaza connects a breathtaking 43-storey bronze tower with the 144-year-old Devonshire House in one veritable emporium of hospitality. Destination restaurants and popular pubs count among the neighbours – local lures include arty Shoreditch, the Barbican Centre, Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. Stroll along the River Thames, wine and dine in Hoxton, shop in Spitalfields and head for the green spaces when the sun comes out to play.

Debonair design

Who better to sartorially showcase Pan Pacific London’s fusion of Southeast Asian heritage and British charm than powerhouse global design firm, Yabu Pushelberg? Helmed by George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg, the company is famous for its immersive interiors and tactile, sensory spaces. Pan Pacific London models Singaporean sophistication – all shark-sleek angles, jewel hues such as amber and peridot, luxe fabrics, understated style and cutting-edge contemporary architecture – with the eclectic diversity of British design. An emphasis on wellbeing informs the décor, especially on the dedictaed wellness level. Picture peaceful palettes, floral prints, natural wood accents, curving lines and toe-pleasingly plush carpets.

Bubbles, cocktails and brews

Frankly, my dear, it would be rude not to raise a glass at Pan Pacific London. The elegant Ginger Lily bar houses an irresistible Champagne selection that canters through more than 100 Champagne houses, plus more than 150 rums. A creative cocktail list showcases seasonal libations such as Bourbon Bubbles and a Green Tea and Citrus Highball. Dark and moody interiors and furnishings in rich, boiled-sweet hues up the ante. Over in the Orchid Lounge, liquid refreshments include an impressive tea list showcased by the in-house tea connoisseur, alongside an unrivalled array of English sparkling wines. Design fans will fall for the dapper Devonshire House Bar, masterminded by Tom Dixon’s Design Research Studio.

Divide your admiration between the vibrant dishes and the panoramic views from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Sweet teeth will love the cake-centric Patisserie and the sumptuous Orchid Lounge, where executive pastry chef Cherish Finden woos with a power couple of afternoon teas. Pick from the British-style Traditional Delights or Kopi Tiam, a Singaporean offering starring feather-light bao, dim sum and choux.
