Rooms with rather raunchy views at the Shard in London
DUE to a rather embarrassing design quirk, hotel guests at this famous skyscraper are seeing a LOT more than they bargained for!
THE new hotel at one of London's skyscrapers offers rooms with a view — but it isn't always what guests expect.
The Shangri-La Hotel — located on the upper floors of The Shard — has a design quirk that means glass panels protruding from the skyscraper can act as mirrors once internal lights are switched on at night.
That means that in some rooms, it is possible to get a glimpse of neighbouring guests.
Darren Gearing, the executive vice president and hotel general manager, said that blinds are available for privacy.
Guests will be advised when they check in.
The Renzo Piano-designed 72-storey building is unique in that it features entire walls that are windows.
The hotel in the 310-metrr tower opened last week.
