A touch of North Africa graces ’s Suite 25, with its striking Tunisian pine and olive wood console table and integrated straw topped lamp. The room’s joyful turquoise and pink colour palette could have one fooled that the bustle of central London lies just outside.

Art should be part of everyday life, something to experience, not simply look at. It’s central to ’s approach to creating storied, characterful spaces, where creativity and craftsmanship can be found at every turn. From sculptures and paintings to tapestries, found objects and curious treasures, each hotel brings together its own mix of artists, makers and craftspeople. From grand artwork and sculpture that define a space to smaller details that reward a closer look, there is always something new to discover with each visit.
