A Georgian townhouse and former residence of artist Edward Lear, Zetter Marylebone is not-so-quietly eccentric; you might pass through the floral archway and duck egg blue door to find a keyboardist scoring your check-in amongst antique-lined walls.
Tucked away behind one of the world's finest shopping circuits, this is where Marylebone High Street's village charm meets maximalist theatre. Downstairs bar The Parlour is cosy, atmospheric, brilliantly British - the sort of trinket-filled den where Helena Bonham Carter might order an Absinthe Colada, Selfridges bags at her feet. Somehow, every detail is delightful - heavy brass keys bear pretty illustrations, the lift is papered with vintage posters, even fire exit signs are daubed over antique paintings. What fun.
Rooms are nothing short of splendiferous, dripping in grandeur that makes minimalism seem… sad. Ornate sleigh beds invite fairytale breakfasts, walls tell stories in coloured glass, print and pattern, and backlit counter tops make bathtime quite magical. The unashamed flourish is enough to make the most jaded Londoner smile - pass the fluffy bathrobe.
Zetter properties are utterly confident in their own quirky charms, from the expertly curated knick-knacks, to well-executed food - croquettes on the bar snack menu are sublime, and with an exacting theme like this, you can expect your Full English to be perfect.

Expect antique furniture, wine-red walls, gilded pictures, shelves overflowing with leather-bound books . . . and a sense of the eccentric. The interior was inspired by the eclectic interior of London's Sir John Soane’s Museum.

Opened in mid-August 2015, this quirky, 24-bedroom Georgian townhouse hotel to the north of Oxford Street makes a good-value base for shopping and sightseeing. Think fashionably eccentric interiors, a clubby vibe, and a cosy bar. Hyde Park is just a stroll away.

At the new Zetter he was inspired by the obsessive collections of the Sir John Soane's Museum, and by the travels of the latest Townhouse's fictional former resident, Uncle Seymour, whose rakish, parrot-bothering portrait hangs in the parlour.
