Tucked onto Bohdana Khmelnytskoho a short walk from the Opera and Golden Gate, 11 Mirrors is Kyivs original design hotel, founded by footballer Andriy Shevchenko. Expect crisp monochrome interiors, an excellent breakfast and a genuinely warm front desk that treats regulars like friends. Rooms are compact but beautifully finished. Book the rooftop bar for evening drinks, and use the central location to reach the old town on foot.
