This
week the GEH turns into Andaz (not sure about the
name - sounds a bit like a herbal energy drink to
me!), the first in the Hyatt group's new brand of
'casual luxury' hotels.
Liverpool Street is London's frontline: East End
cool one side, Loadsamoney t'other - Andaz is trying
to get a bit of both. It claims to be more home from
home than hotel and has done away with such conventions
as check in desks and concierges - you check in on
a tablet PC. The staff are all 'equal' (bet they're
not all paid equally!) and untitled, and all aim to
fulfil your wildest whim. The things that usually
treble the bill - breakfast, Internet, mini-bar, local
telephone calls and movies - are free.
