A new addition to London’s small-hotel scene, brings its quirky formula of contemporary art and a warm, homey ambience to the British capital. The youngest sister of another two hotels located in Brightonand Penzance, Cornwall, opened during 2014 in a mid-19th-century listed building in Pimlico which was renovated over the course of a whole year and decorated by its two young owners, hoteliersJustin Salisbury (27) and Charlotte Newey (28). Following an ‘‘eclectic luxury’’ approach that combines vintage design with contemporary art, Charlotte and Justin have filled the hotel with original art prints and vintage objects sourced in galleries and antique shops across the UK and Europe (particularly store in Chiswick, London). The result is a very personal, inviting space that skillfully mixes contrasting elements with surprising results.
