The Bar/Lounge at Town Hall Hotel

"Echoing corridors retain more than a touch of bureaucratic architectural aloofness (it may be the only hotel in the world where an intact council meeting hall lies just off the restaurant/lounge area), but everything has been spruced up with attention-catching artwork and a knowing crowd"

"Grab a pre-dinner drink at the speakeasy-style bar where vintage-clad hipsters sip quirky cocktails"

"A staffer will bring a drinks trolley to mix cocktails in rooms, or guests can head to the bar"

"Lined with oak-parquet and peppered with ceramics, brushed brass and marble, the space is a smooth contrast to the dark, sexy Peg + Patriot bar across the hall, where Matt Whiley tickles taste buds with unorthodox tipples like the salt beef-flavoured D Groner, mixed with cognac and mustard leaf"

"The sleek baths are coated in marble and limestone with privacy curtains cordoning off the modest from baring all"
