Description
Tucked away down a narrow London lane, Ruby Stella takes her name and inspiration from one of the neighbourhood’s historic literary lights: Charles Dickens. From delicate quills to heavy presses, the 24-hour bar celebrates every step of the publication process, right up to the gilt-edged, marbled end papers. Swing by to catch an up-and-coming band, grab a drink with friends, or settle in for a sundowner on our courtyard terrace. And when it's time to unwind, you'll find a haven of Lean Luxury calm in your room. Ruby Stella is within strolling distance of the shops and theatres of the West End, along with historic sights like St Paul's Cathedral and the Tower of London. And for foodies, there are tasty spots galore, right on the doorstep.
Restaurant
Tucked inside the Goldsmiths Centre, Bench is the kind of café that makes a neighbourhood feel complete. Union Hand Roasted coffee, seasonal dishes prepared on site and a bright, airy space create the perfect setting to slow down for a morning coffee or settle in for a relaxed working lunch. Just a 10 minute walk from Ruby Stella.
Drawing inspiration from Charles Dickens, the 24-hour bar at Ruby Stella is an ode to the art and industry of printing and bookbinding. Settle in among the vintage tomes to sip a cocktail and share your own tall tales, or grab a seat on the terrace with a book and a beer or two.
La Casetta is an Italian café restaurant on Clerkenwell Road, known for fresh pasta, honest plates and a warm, unpretentious atmosphere. A relaxed neighbourhood option for lunch or dinner, just a two minute walk from Ruby Stella.
You will find Bouchon Racine upstairs at the Three Compasses, a pub that has stood for 300 years. Downstairs, it is a proper London pub; upstairs, chef Henry Harris serves unashamedly French cooking inspired by the bouchons of Lyon. Think calf's brains in black butter, tete de veau, creme caramel, and a French led wine list. Bold, generous, and deeply old school, a 10 minute walk from Ruby Stella.
