Sanderson London
Sanderson London is one of London’s very smartest boutique hotels. Situated a number of metres north of Oxford Street in what is occasionally referred to as “No-Ho” (north of Soho), its place is about as central as you can get and nevertheless be somewhat off the beaten track.
Explained as an “Urban Spa in the heart of London’s West Conclude”, it is in a 1950s former paint headquarters transformed into a surreal and ultra-fashionable dream planet by iconic French designer Philippe Starck. Ethereal sheer curtains are a notable design characteristic equally in the public locations and the visitor rooms. The indoor-outside lobby surrounds a courtyard garden designed by Philip Hicks, providing what could be the best of both worlds in all weathers. Count on flowering trees, fountains, mosaics and a reflecting pool for reflecting about.
Back to the lobby: Starck’s extraordinary design mixes modern day with baroque, providing Salvador Dali’s curvaceous red lips sofa with hand-carved African furnishings and a larger-than-daily life Louis XV armoire.
