Blakes Hotel is the only choice if you want to stay in the world’s first-ever luxury boutique hotel, established in 1978 by the famous designer Anouska Hempel.

It is unique because it was the first of its kind and takes you on an adventure through India, China, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Egypt, and Italy without ever having to leave the heart of London.

Every room is fully furnished with period furniture from their corresponding countries that Anouska Hempel herself collected on her travels.

The rooms are also decorated with artifacts and art, making the experience truly unique.

The hotel restaurants and bars are also very popular with the fashionable crows in London and are frequented by celebrities and the fabulously wealthy.

While many people think that the décor of Blakes Hotel is eccentric and erratic, oddly enough, it seems to fit together well and really adds an air of nostalgia and authenticity to the experience.
