Where to stay for London Design Festival?

Of course our focus is design, so here is a selection of the best design hotels to stay at during London Design Festival.

Blakes Hotel

Blakes Luxury Boutique Hotel occupies, since 1978, a quiet side street in London’s fashionable South Kensington and has always been an innovator. Behind the black Victorian façade, you’ll find a tantalizing fusion of eastern and western styles. Polished mirrors bounce rich walnut tones around the lobby, creating a sense of decadence and theatre, while the critically acclaimed subterranean restaurant attracts some of the world’s most famous movie stars, actors, and designers.

ME London

The ME London 5 star hotel surprises due to an original modern design. Located in a sought after region of London, at the southern tip of Covent Garden in London’s art, culture and design district, this luxurious hotel was designed around a central pyramid spanning throughout all 10 floors of the hotel, creating spacious and aesthetically pleasing corridors clad in Nero Marquina marble.

Haymarket Hotel

The Haymarket Hotel fuses contemporary design elements in a solid, classical setting in an ultra-central London location. The façade features a dramatic row of columns that run the length of Suffolk Place. Interiors are a remarkable combination that honors the building’s noble lineage while updating it with co-owner Kit Kemp’s “modern English” interpretation of interior design.Shows we love * London Design Festival

Sanctum Soho Hotel

Sanctum Soho Hotel is a celebration of the London’s West End neighborhood in which it stands. Like Soho itself, the hotel exudes an edgy glamour, and both its design and ambience have an artsy, bohemian flair. The spacious lobby is decorated with paintings and “living artworks” with scattered Gothic elements providing a touch of antique class, striking furniture, and handmade finishes by London design company Based Upon.

Halkin London

A London luxury boutique hotel in the city’s Belgravia district, The Halkin London promises an elegant and discreet environment with a deep respect for authenticity.

Last but certainly not least…here are a few of the best restaurants to eat at while in London!

Balthazar London

Balthazar’s London housed in the old Theatre Museum, in a building called “The Flower Cellars”. This is the hardest-to-score reservation in London right now and the pinnacle, the holy of holies, the city’s most anticipated restaurant that results from a collaboration between New York restaurant supremo Keith McNally and his London friend, Richard Caring.
This restaurant offers every type of meal from breakfast and dinner to weekend brunch. The menu includes a wide selection of French brasserie and bistro; they combine the best ingredients with the most traditional ways of cooking in order to produce great food.

Corner Room

A simple space on the first floor of the Town Hall Hotel in Bethnal Green, the Corner Room gives little away, but look a little closer and it becomes apparent that someone has a sense of humor: a spiral staircase leading nowhere; lamps hung at spectacularly varying heights; no external telephone. The place is unassuming. The menu is the same. Three ingredients are listed for each dish, with no indication as to how they’re to be prepared or served. Portuguese chef, Nuno Mendes – who trained at El Bulli – is best known for working his magic at Michelin-starred Viajante downstairs, so as you settle into your seats at Corner Room you will certainly be in for a treat.

The Dorchester

Guests entering The Dorchester are greeted with the stunning vista of The Promenade, which stretches the same length as the London landmark, Nelson’s Column. Refurbished in 2005 by Thierry Despont, The Promenade is a series of rich, warm, intimate spaces culminating in a stunning, oval leather bar at the end of the room. Very much the heart of the hotel, The Promenade is open all day for informal dining serving breakfast, morning coffee, lunch, afternoon tea and a supper menu.

Club Gascon

Club Gascon is specialized in imaginative cuisine from South-West of France. Since its opening the restaurant has received numerous accolades including one Michelin star (since 2002). They take their food from Gascony very seriously this is why it is monitored by “Le Comité Renaissance” that has a commitment to maintain the highest standards of freshness and authenticity. But what makes their food even more special is: Love.

Tamarind

The award-winning Indian restaurant, in the heart of Mayfair, continues to be instrumental in changing perceptions of the subcontinent’s cuisine. Tamarind provides a classic combination of indisputable knowledge, unique experience and traditional values that carry worldwide recognition. The restaurant offers a sophisticated fine dining experience with effortlessly charming staff, discreet service and tantalizing food that few can compete with. That is the combination to ensure guests come back for more. Tamarind’s dishes are derived from traditional Moghul cuisine where bread, fish, meat and game are cooked in the authentic tandoor oven style of North West India.  In addition to conventional and established favorites, Executive Chef Alfred Prasad regularly devises new and seasonal dishes to keep updated menus innovative and modern.
