Pan Pacific London

Pan Pacific London Overview

You know what struck me first about the Pan Pacific London? It’s this gleaming tower that somehow manages to feel both impressive and welcoming when you walk up to it on Houndsditch. I mean, you’re literally in the heart of the City – like, proper financial district territory – but the moment you step inside, there’s this immediate sense that they actually get hospitality here, not just the business traveler grind.

The location is honestly brilliant if you know London at all. You’re a two-minute walk from Liverpool Street station (which, let’s be real, connects you to everywhere), and Spitalfields Market is right there when you want to escape the suits-and-ties vibe. What I love is that you can grab proper coffee at the market in the morning, then be back for meetings without breaking a sweat. The hotel sits right where the old City meets the more creative Shoreditch area, so you get this interesting mix of energy depending on which direction you wander. And actually, being on Houndsditch puts you close enough to walk to St. Paul’s or the Tower Bridge area – something a lot of people don’t realize until they’re there.

The rooms themselves are what really sold me on the place, though. Everything feels thoughtfully designed rather than just expensive for the sake of it. The bathrooms are ridiculously nice (those rainfall showers will ruin you for other hotels), and the beds – well, I’m pretty sure I slept better there than I do at home. There’s this attention to detail that you notice in small ways: the lighting actually works for reading, the outlets are where you need them, and the views over the city skyline are genuinely stunning, especially from the higher floors. The service feels effortless too, which is rare. Check-in was smooth even during what seemed like a busy period, and the staff have that knack for being helpful without hovering. I stayed during a particularly hectic week in the City, and while the lobby buzzed with energy, the rooms stayed perfectly quiet – something about the building design just works. It’s pricey, sure, but honestly? When you factor in the location, the quality, and that you’re getting a proper five-star experience without any of the stuffiness that sometimes comes with it, it feels worth it. If you’re doing business in London or just want to be right in the thick of things with easy access to both the traditional sights and the newer foodie spots, this place delivers.
