We sat down with Sahir Saleem, who is in charge of all things lifestyle at The Courthouse Hotel Shoreditch to discuss some interesting stories about the famous East London hotel.
Sahir is the main point of contact for the media world, she looks after filming and photoshoots in and around the property. She also takes on the planning of all the bespoke events that have an impact on this first-class London hotel. Sahir kindly shared lots of interesting information about this beautiful venue…
Where is The Courthouse Hotel?
The Courthouse Hotel is located in the heart of Old Street. In the centre of hipster, bohemian Shoreditch. In the heart of eccentric East London, the hotel is a Grade II listed, Baroque styled building. The Courthouse Hotel is popular among East Londoners and Londoners alike and it’s easy to see why.
What’s the story behind The Courthouse Hotel Shoreditch?
The building was completed in 1905 and served as a magistrates court and police station until circa 1998. It was then unfortunately completely disbanded.
The owning family who also launched the Courthouse Hotel in Soho saw an opportunity. They recognised the potential of transforming this Grade II listed building into a lifestyle, urban hotel which would become a hub of creative events and versatile Spaces.

What’s unique about The Courthouse Hotel Shoreditch?
The London hotel is a Grade II listed, former magistrates and police station. Drowning in grandeur and history dating back to the beginning of the 20th Century.
We have transformed five of the original prison cells into private booths throughout the hotel, which always attracts a lot of attention from our guests and customers.
We’re not forgetting the Courthouse bowling alley and our bespoke 196 seater cinema. Both of which can be hired for a unique conference venue or private party.
A rabbit run of rooms and full of surprises, each Space can be hired for private parties, conference rooms or quirky meeting rooms in London.
What brilliant things have happened within the space?
The Courthouse Hotel has housed everything from product launches to Christmas parties, and just about everything in between. We have plenty of versatile Spaces to suit every need and every occasion all situated in the beautiful Baroque styled building.
To talk about just a few of the Spaces is hard but, the Private Dining Room is a sophisticated Space away from the main hotel. The space is great for an intimate sit down dinner for up to 14.
If you’re after a Space with a bit more charm, perhaps for your summer party venue? The Shoreditch Sky Terrace at The Courthouse Hotel offers beautiful views of the city skyline. So, it’s perfect for hosting a drinks reception or exclusive party in London.
Alternatively, if you’re after a professional and versatile space for your next conference or large meeting the Chambers at The Hotel is the perfect Space for you.
The Courthouse Hotel really does have it all. From party venues to business meeting rooms.
