Artist Residence London, Pimlico

A glance at the Artist Residence will tell you it’s something special, but the Pimlico favourite really is magnificent inside. Often touted as “affordable luxury”, the 10-room hotel features exposed brickwork, unconventional art and a very British array of eccentric-but-it-works clutter. Plus, it houses the delicious Cambridge Street eatery, serving up modern fare all day. Start your morning with avocado on toast, and wind down in the evening with a pre-dinner cocktail and bites in the way of burrata and crispy cornish squid.
