Artist Residence Hotel, London
More photosExpert reviews
“An intimate boutique hotel in the true sense of the word — small, and loaded with charm and whimsy — with the added benefit of such cheery, personable staff that I watched one guest give a concierge member a hug upon checkout.”
“Designed to appeal to a contemporary clientele, the quirky Artist Residence is a ten-room hotel that, unsurprisingly, dedicates plenty of attention to artistic endeavors.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in London.
“This charming boutique hotel is tucked on a quiet side street in Pimlico, and filled with playful, contemporary art that will make you smile. The 10 retro-inspired rooms have been carefully curated to give shabby-chic a seriously sexy makeover, with inviting velvet armchairs, Smeg fridges and limited-edition prints.”

Thank you to the hotel and I will definitely rebook.
Location was great. Breakfast excellent. Friendly and helpful staff. Room good size. Bathroom excellent , especially shower. Plenty of products. Radio by the bed.
Would have liked some sort of food option on Sunday night as I didn't want to have to go out and eat.

would suit a young couple looking for a ‘hole in the wall’, quirky hotel.
Loved the quirky design.
Loved the products in the bathroom & the added international adapter.
ok..
The 3 flights of stairs to get to our room. The lack of ‘hotel’ comforts, including lack of reception/concierge. The lack of hotel facilities generally. Did not have the comfort + hotel services for the cost. We also arrived at 5am from an early flight & seemed like no attempt was made to accommodate us with an early check in (we were told our room was ready right on 3pm) even though we only saw one couple leave the hotel all day…

good location l.
the location is perfect
I felt it was a lot of money for literally just a small room, it was a small bed for a couple too.

Spacious room
The room was clean and spacious and friendly service.
A couple of details missing, e.g. no bath mat until second night and tea and coffee wasn’t topped up for second night, only one bin emptied etc.

Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park Hotel, London
CN Traveler + 1 more“After a fire, this local stalwart reopened in April 2019. Gone are the heavy curtains and throws. Instead, everything is lighter, fresher—even the marbled lobby. Rooms have been painted a pale gray, and had gold lampshades added.”

Great Northern Hotel, London
New York Times + 1 more“With an air of history and quick access to the Underground, this stylish hotel provides a great base for exploring London. The theme of rail travel is present in the hotel’s stylish décor: ‘Do not disturb’ signs bear antique illustrations of railway signals, and ‘Couchette’ rooms, with built-in beds, take their design cues from sleeper cars.”
