The Luxe Manor
Eccentric surrealist mansion
Eccentric surrealist mansion
The hotel operates as a theatrical European manor, poking fun at formal luxury with surrealist decor and playful eccentricity.
“The lobby, moody red and black outfitted with light fixtures that resemble hot air balloons and a mural-like mosaic, evokes a Chinese-European palace.”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The crazy riot of ornament just lends personality, one quality ... by which these sorts of hotels live and die.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The front doors open onto Kimberley Road, steps from the bustling nightlife and open-air dining along Knutsford Terrace.
The rooms
Deluxe rooms hang empty picture frames across the walls beside faux fireplaces and bright orange drapes.
The gym
Free weights and cardio machines fill the fitness room, set against mirrored walls and patterned carpets.
Restaurant
FINDS
Curved timber slats sweep across the ceiling, and the kitchen prepares dishes rooted in Nordic smoking and pickling.
At the table
Sculpted silver rams flank the counter at Dada Bar + Lounge, which serves specialty cocktails amid whimsical, surrealist decor.
How it began

Founder Marcus Lee drew on Salvador Dalí to design the property as an irreverent satire of high-end hospitality.
