The London Traveler

Sleep tight!

by Andrea on April 16th, 2008

If you’re an insomniac who’s coming to London before the 28th April, you might want to consider staying at the Andaz Hotel beside Liverpool Street Station.

The Andaz is a luxury hotel, part of the Hyatt chain, which takes a refreshingly different approach. One of the quirky features at the moment is a ‘reader  in residence’. He’s like a writer in residence, but he reads.

Including bedtime stories, I suppose…

The reader in residence is Damian Barr, a writer and journalist. He always takes a book with him when he’s travelling - right now he’s staying at the Andaz to read to other people. And he’ll read whatever he thinks will do his customers good - from Georgette Heyer’s romances to Jake Arnott’s gangster novels.

If you’re not staying at the hotel, don’t miss the read-in on Sunday 27th, from 11 o’clock in Mildred, the hotel’s snug bar.
