Charlotte Street Hotel, London

HOTEL INFO

THE CHARLOTTE STREET HOTEL

Originally opened in 2000 the Charlotte Street Hotel is situated in London’s media neighbourhood north of Soho. Being partner with Design Hotels™, its interiors are designed by owner Kit Kemp herself and reflect a contemporary British style. At a first glance it might appear rather ‘typical’ British to you but if you throw a second one,  you ill discover a big love for details that create are very individual and interesting look of design and style. Expect a fine mixture of comfort and surprising furnishing and get yourself some of your favourite English dishes at Oscar, the hotel’s ground floor bar and restaurant.

The in-house screening room can be privately rented and is an open Film club as well. We strongly recommend the FILM CLUB SUNDAY where also film lovers who are not staying at the hotel are warmly welcome.

 
Each of the 52 bedrooms and suites are individually designed by Kit Kemp

THE ROOMS 

Each of the 52 bedrooms and suites are individually designed. Kit Kemp has given every room its own style and character. Be sure that you wont miss a thing.
Every room and suite has its own library consisting of classical pieces, children’s books or modern fiction, which gives the guest a warm cosy home feeling. A ‘Bloomsbury Set’ theme has been used throughout the hotel.

In every bedroom there is a smell of luxury. Fabrics on the walls give it a very special expression. Kemp uses wool, cotton or other special materials for the wall decoration. In front of the rooms is a showcase showcasing samples of materials, fabrics and patterns that were used. 

Bathrooms come in solid granite, mostly with double basins and walk-in showers. And if you are lucky to get one of the Penthouse suites, you wake up with a breath-taking view over London.
