What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
behind the doors of this Georgian townhouse are twenty-four rooms decorated in a meticulously art-directed style.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set on quiet Seymour Street in Marylebone, the townhouse is two streets from Oxford Street and a short walk from Hyde Park.
The rooms
Individually styled bedrooms feature Hypnos beds and antique artwork, while Lear's Loft opens onto a private terrace with an outdoor clawfoot tub.
Bar
Seymour’s Parlour
Botanical cocktails and tiered afternoon tea are served in a crimson lounge filled with eclectic curios.
The hotel’s richly coloured rooms, beautifully preserved antique furniture and quirky accessories comprise an irresistably anachronistic take on plush luxury.
How it began
Once home to Edward Lear, the Georgian townhouse was reimagined around thousands of antiques collected across a fictional Grand Tour.
