Head down to the Regent’s Canal in Hackney  to discover a new London barge hotel

A boutique barge ‘hotel’ has launched in Hackney. Bert’s Barges opens its first ‘city barge’ this month, with further barges set to be added to the mooring over the coming year.

Prices on the barge cost from £250 per night, B&B for two people.

The barge offers guests a one-bedroom floating suite, with a matt black exterior and Scandinavian vintage interiors. There’s a large living/ dining area, a fully fitted kitchen, a flat screen TV, underfloor heating, a wood burning stove and a large bathroom with walk-in Agape shower.

The separate bedroom has a king sized Murphy bed, with a further pull down double in the living area making it possible for friends or family to share the space.

There’s a number of clever design features including hidden electrical sockets in the marble kitchen work surface and a spacious roof terrace for sundowners or sunrise breakfasts. This space features a Bert & May ‘hot box’ BBQ, antique Spanish wash bowl planters filled with lavender, deck chairs and fold down railings.

Prices start from £250 per night, B&B and include an overnight stay, a pack of goodies, use of two bikes and two Oyster cards.
