Sir Devonshire Square

Tucked inside the historic Devonshire Square courtyard, Sir Devonshire Square sits right on the line between Spitalfields and the City, which makes it a smart pick whether you are here for work, eating or a bit of both. The hotel has 81 boutique rooms, including 14 suites, plus two restaurants, a bar, a proper gym, a yoga studio, and The Cover, its members’ club focused on culture and community. Interiors by Maison 191 lean into warm modernism, with London-based designer Samuel Wright taking cues from Terence Conran and the design optimism of 1980s Britain, when East London was starting to shake off austerity and find its creative confidence. There are generous public spaces too, including the Sir Shop, stocked with locally sourced pieces that reflect the city’s cultural mix, making it feel more like a neighbourhood hub than a sealed off hotel.
