Previously a swish apartment block occupying a corner plot, this 1930s building now holds 26 plush rooms for paying guests. Some suites have circular beds and bathrooms have glass walls and White Company toiletries. Cubo’s owners are restauranteurs, so you can expect some excellent cuisine crafted using seasonal ingredients with a low carbon footprint. The lobby bar doubles as a pavement cafe during the summer – the perfect spot to people-watch over a mouthwatering pastry. Guests can take advantage of free bicycle hire too, with the river and park close by for leisurely cycles.
