Sensitively pared back, one of the most striking design features of our bedrooms is the 200-year-old parquet flooring that beautifully frames the bed and bedsides. With a nod to yesterday’s craftsmanship, it creates a modern, yet vintage charm. Carefully placed original period lighting gives a soothing and inviting glow. The utilitarian shower rooms offer fixtures and fittings that contribute in equal measure to both mood and ambience. Our considered design exudes a warm sense of calm and offers you a unique base in London’s historic Paddington. Visit the Website
