For Lu’s birthday, I whisked her away into Central London for a weekend of pampering, good food, shopping and cocktails! We stayed at The Beaumont primarily because of its fantastic proximity to the shops but with still feeling like its tucked away in a private corner of London.
A cool thing about The Beaumont is that its best suite is actually a living sculpture designed by the incredible Antony Gormley called Room! Here it is from the outside of the hotel:
I love what a statement it makes for the hotel, so we were very excited to stay in it for a night!
Interestingly, the sculpture is *just* the bedroom part of the suite. The rest of the suite is located inside the traditional part of the hotel. Here are some pics of the room itself to start with:
The room itself is very low-lit and sexy, with the only light sources coming from a small window and artfully placed LED strips. The ceiling is the piece de resistance, and is very sculptural (duh!) The bed was HUUUUGE and very comfortable.
The rest of the suite was also large and comfy! There was a hallway, a nicely sized living room, and a large bathroom! Here are some pics:
Last but definitely not least, a cool perk about the Beaumont is that they have a car on hand that will chaffeur you to places within a certain radius of the hotel! We made use of the car a few times to get us to shopping and restaurants!
All in all, staying in the Room suite was definitely a fantastic experience. I really recommend the Beaumont hotel if you’re looking for a central London hotel close to all the shops and the action!
