Travel review: Glitzy Hotel Andaz London Liverpool Street is the perfect East London hub
The five-star hotel, situated directly next to the busy Liverpool Street tube station, is not simply somewhere to rest your weary head following a day out exploring.
It moulds together luxury lifestyle hotel with a fine-dining experience.

The hotel, which was originally built in 1884, boasts five restaurants and pubs within the complex.
During our visit we experienced Rake's on the first evening and the cafe-bar offers simple yet elegant food with a special selection of cocktails to boot.
The following morning our group was invited on a street art tour around East London (www.shoreditchstreetarttours.co.uk).

The tour was followed by a visit to the Beigel Bake bagel shop on Brick Lane - a must-visit purely for the renowned salted beef bagels on offer 24 hours a day.
Our tour then took us to Spitalfields Market where Colin the Hat Man - a charismatic host if ever there was one - gave us a special tour of what makes the area so historic.
Back at base, a sushi masterclass was put on at Miyako - another of the Andaz cluster of in-house restaurants.
