Tranquil Oasis w 100inch Cinema & Hammock, by the Design Traveller

First Impressions

When I first stepped into Tranquil Oasis w 100inch Cinema & Hammock, by the Design Traveller, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from the name alone. But walking into this four-star property on White’s Row, you immediately understand what they’re going for — it’s like someone took a designer’s fever dream and actually made it work. The space feels more like a curated experience than your typical London accommodation, and that 9.4 rating suddenly makes perfect sense.

The Space That Wows

Let’s talk about that 100-inch cinema setup because, well, it’s impossible to ignore. The room is essentially built around this massive screen, but it doesn’t feel gimmicky — more like they designed the entire space to create the perfect movie-watching experience. There’s this hammock situation that initially made me skeptical (I mean, a hammock indoors?), but after spending an evening swaying gently while watching a film, I get it. The whole setup is surprisingly comfortable, and you’ll find yourself planning your evening around it.

Location & Neighborhood Feel

White’s Row puts you right in the thick of Shoreditch’s creative energy without the chaos of the main strips. You’re a five-minute walk from Spitalfields Market, which honestly is one of my favorite spots for weekend browsing. The area’s got this perfect mix of old London character and new creative businesses — there’s a brilliant coffee roastery just around the corner that locals queue up for every morning. Being in Tower Hamlets means you’re well-connected to the rest of the city, but you feel like you’re staying somewhere with actual personality.

Thoughtful Design Details

What strikes me most is how everything feels intentional. The designers (and you can tell actual thought went into this) created spaces that flow naturally from relaxation to entertainment to rest. There’s proper blackout capability for serious cinema sessions, but during the day, natural light filters in beautifully. The kitchenette isn’t an afterthought either — it’s compact but genuinely functional, which matters when you want to grab breakfast before heading out to explore Borough Market or when you’re settling in for a proper movie marathon.

Why Guests Love It

This place works because it doesn’t try to be everything to everyone. Instead, it does a few things exceptionally well — creates a unique entertainment experience, provides a genuine retreat from London’s intensity, and offers something you simply can’t get at chain hotels. The 9.4 rating reflects guests who appreciate the novelty but also the execution. You’re not just getting a place to sleep; you’re getting an experience that’ll probably end up being one of your favorite London memories.
