Sweet Suite

Does anyone else receive those mystifying emails? The ones that read: "A-lister party at Aura... Join Xtina Aguilira getting Dirrrty!" Or, "Fashion party this Saturday, top catwalk moddels in their underwear... Dress to Imppress!" Or, "Nikita and Claudia are back from Ibiza. VIP guestlist. Cute crowd guranted!"

Those familiar with these missives may have noticed that many of these parties took place at the Penthouse, the kind of place where girls fantasised about meeting Scholes and Neville for a fantasy spitroast, and BB's Nicky might tout for business in her previous trade.

Thankfully someone with taste has taken it over - it was always an impressive site - transforming it into a nightclub deluxe. Skip past the bar and restaurant and head straight for the eighth floor Suite, a members' bar entered with personalised key cards.

Designed to emulate a lavish hotel suite - and let's face it, we all love those - incorporating a stainless steel kitchen from where the drinks are mixed, a bedroom, living area and entertainment centre with Playstation, it seems that London might finally be getting hip with the New York, Hong Kong and Tokyo kids in realising that, when it comes to bright lights and big cities, the only way is up.
