Top choice in The West End
We've always loved the Zetter group of hotels and this new boutique number with two dozen rooms only increases our passion. The comfy back rooms on the ground floor and above are dressed in black and burgundy, superior rooms have four-poster beds with canopies and Lear's Loft is a suite reached by its own staircase.
Check out Seymour's Parlour, a kind of library/lounge lobby named after a fictional 'wicked’ uncle. It's all a blend of fusty style, kitsch and good humour.
