A UNIQUE hotel just steps from one of the UK’s busiest high streets, The BoTree is a must when visiting London.
Here is everything you need to know about staying at the hotel.
Where is The BoTree?
Just steps off the main streets of Oxford Circus, BoTree is a welcome respite from the bustle of the city.
But it is also right by Bond Street, which takes you straight to London Heathrow Airport too.
You even get free fizz when you check in, with the lobby decked out in green plants.
What are the rooms like?
I was wowed by my room as soon as I stepped in, with chic gold glass doors dividing my entrance from the main living space.
Simple marble counters contrasted with a euphony of colour in the form of multicoloured patterned wallpaper and accents.
It has everything you’d expect, from a tea and coffee station to a fully stocked minibar.
But it’s the little touches – the fleece lined dressing gown, the complimentary steamer – that set it above other London hotels.
Despite its central location, my room was blissfully quiet, with little trouble falling asleep in the huge king-size bed.
Options range from King Premium rooms or the suites which sleep up to four.
Rooms start from £283. See hilton.com.
What is there to eat and drink?
On the ground floor of the hotel is Lavo, which makes you feel like you are world’s away from the busy high street just outside.
Start off at the bar which has a great cocktail menu which offers a twist on the classics – my tomato martini was the perfect start, alongside a fantastic DJ set.
Otherwise come to the restaurant with an empty stomach to fully enjoy the fresh Italian dishes and fantastic portion sizes.
My tuna tartare starter was piled high, while my penne a la vodka was rich and hearty.
I was tempted by the build-you-own cannoli but thought it would be remiss not to try the tiramisu, which was one of the best I’d eaten (outside of Italy, of course).
I was excited to return for breakfast, with a great spread from hot counters to pastries.

What else is there?
Also at the hotel is triplebond, a wellness members club with spa, gym and rooftop pool.
Suite guests get access or you can book a day pass for £95.
Otherwise get your comfy shoes on and head out to Oxford Circus for a day of shopping, with all the top high street brands on offer.
