The Curtain

"Been waiting on a refund for them after a vety very very slow service during a football match In December. Pretty done with thr their lack of response now and how this has all gone down. All feels a bit tired in their too. My partner was a member, and isn't coming back."

"I love this hotel. I was a huge fan of it before they rebranded and am lucky enough to be a member. I've stayed here several times and I love the rooms, the balcony and the sauna shower. Service is always top-notch and the staff are always accommodating."

"Amazing place... In the room you have everything you need for your stay. Beds are so comfortable... 100 % for beds. Wow... Public areas look very stylish and keep you feeling comfortable and welcome... The food is so good... When you are eating - already thinking when I can come for next time..."

"The hotel went out of their way to change my mind. My first impression was not great, luckily my second was nothing like it. Staff were super friendly and pro-active. The room was quite something, well designed, a little dark but very interesting and well stocked. The amenities were very good. The whole experience was comfortable and effortless, the rooftop pool a little cold but what can you expect this time of year with the insane winds. Tasty cocktails on the roof with a great view and a very well rounded buffet breakfast."

"The Curtain Theatre was an Elizabethan playhouse located close to Curtain Road in Shoreditch, just outside the City of London. It opened in 1577 and from 1597 to 1599 was the premiere venue of Shakespeare's Company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, where they staged several of Shakespeare's plays, including Romeo and Juliet (which gained "Curtain plaudits") and Henry V (where the Curtain gains immortal fame by being described by Shakespeare as "this wooden O"). The remains of the Curtain were rediscovered in 2012 by archaeologists from the Museum of London Archaeology, when they found a 14-metre stage and evidence of a tunnel under the stage, as well as timber galleries with mid and upper levels for wealthier members of the audience. Finds included fragments of ceramic money boxes, which would have been used to collect entry fees from theatregoers, before being taken to an office to be smashed and the money counted - this office was known as the ‘box office’, which is the origin of the term we use today. The area around the Curtain is currently (2019) being developed with a multi-storey block of apartments, which may also include a Shakespeare museum, with the archaeological remains visible in a glass enclosure. The Horse & Groom pub, on one side of the development, remains intact."
