citizenM is a sprawling, modern hotel brand that you'll find far and wide: from Copenhagen to San Francisco. The brand's aim is to nail hybrid travel for the 21st century, offering guests sleek spaces, networking-friendly communal areas and afforable prices.
With a prime location at the Tower of London, this citizenM branch is a great place to not only stay, but stop for drinks and snacks, making the most of its sky-high bar and incredible views. Situated on the 7th floor, cloudM bar is a multi-faceted space with floor-to-ceiling windows and an outside terrace.
Huge bookcases are decorated with colourful books, artworks and London-themed memorabilia, providing the structure for a double-height mezzanine, offering cosy spots to gather with friends overlooking the main bar. In another section, a swish, electric fire is positioned with black leather armchairs and cow-print rugs for reading or one-on-one chats, while high tables and bar stools provide plenty of room for larger tables. Overall, the space is fun and tongue-in-cheek with decor touches like repeat-pattern pictures of the Queen across pillars and Union Jack cushions dotted around.
If looking for a space to host a private event, be it a birthday party or corporate do, the team at citizenM welcome events bookings and can host up to 250 people. With a stunning roof terrace that offers panoramic views of the Tower of London, we can't think of a better spot.
When it comes to refreshments, cloudM bar has a great selection of London-themed cocktails to whet your whistle. We like the sound of the Thames with Bombay Sapphire, mango juice, cinnamon and chilli syrup, lime juice and chocolate bitters, but the bar staff can do all the classics, too. There's also wine, beer, cider, spirits and a mix of digestifs to pick from, alongside a small selection of snacks. On the food menu you'll find a meat board, English cheese selection and some bread and oils.
