“A Grade-II listed hotel in Fitzrovia, central London. The interiors are a chic blend of Georgian character and modern design, with richly coloured fabrics, velvet armchairs, and art-filled walls. Guests can enjoy its charming garden, delicious afternoon teas, and library bar. A cultured city escape.”
