Artist Residence London  

In a peaceful west London enclave between Chelsea, Tate Britain and Westminster. This small boutique hotel sits a short walk from Victoria Station and Sloane Square, and is about 1.2–1.5 km from Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and Harrods.

Just 10 individually decorated guestrooms fizz with contemporary art and quirky furnishings. Expect minibars, flat-screen TVs, pillowtop beds with Egyptian cotton sheets, private bathrooms with rainfall showers, a terrace for city views, plus a neon-streaked Clubhouse and a speakeasy cocktail cellar downstairs.

Take in city views from the terrace and make use of concierge services, tour/ticket assistance and complimentary wired and wireless internet. Express check-in/out, laundry and dry cleaning are on hand, and there’s even a ping-pong area for a playful downtime.

Meeting and presentation facilities are available, and high-speed wired internet keeps work moving smoothly.

The Clubhouse is an all-day neighbourhood hangout with an easy-going menu that leans on local flavours, plus a coffee shop/café and a lively bar/lounge. A basement cocktail cellar serves creative drinks, cooked-to-order breakfasts are available daily (7:30 AM–noon) for a fee, and room service is offered.
