In Bethnal Green, Town Hall Hotel occupies an imposing Edwardian civic building whose Portland stone façade and ceremonial interiors have been adapted for contemporary hospitality. Rooms and apartments vary from high-ceilinged historic spaces to modern additions, using timber, marble and carefully placed colour rather than a single repeated scheme. The two-Michelin-starred Da Terra and its companion restaurant Elis bring ambitious dining into the former municipal setting, while an indoor pool and gym sit behind the grand public rooms. Original council chambers, staircases and geometric detailing remain central to the building’s character.
