Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
Eccentric, fun and colourful, this Pimlico town house in a leafy residential street is as much a neighbourhood hang-out and art gallery as a place to sleep and eat. Part of Justin and Charlotte Salisbury's small collection of Artist Residences (see index), the public areas are a seamless blend of café, bar, brunch and supper spot, the walls hung with original and limited-edition artwork, and neon pop art. There are tan leather chairs, velvet-covered armchairs, reclaimed timber walls and shelves of pot plants; outside the pavement terrace is shaded with stripy awnings; downstairs there's a speakeasy-style cocktail bar. An all-day brunch offers dishes such as kedgeree, scrambled egg with avocado, feta and chilli, and pancake stack; come evening (Thursday to Saturday), the short-choice menu might include fish pie, Balinese vegetable curry, and steak with chimichurri sauce. Bedrooms, with wood floors and pale-grey walls, are furnished with vintage and reclaimed pieces, limited-edition prints, Roberts radios, espresso machines and organic toiletries; the suites have freestanding bathtubs and walk-in showers.
