We Love: The Zetter Townhouse
Dark sumptuous colours, Gainsborough silks and antique brass fittings all contribute to the eccentric feel of this Georgian townhouse hotel in London's Marylebone.
Stepping into the Zetter Townhouse in Marylebone, you could be forgiven for thinking that you had stumbled into the home of a wealthy English dignitary. The whimsical interiors are the work of design luminary Russell Sage – the creative force behind the original Clerkenwell hotel – who took inspiration from the collections of Sir John Soane.

Mementos harking back to The Grand Tour sit amid a dark palette, offset by sumptuous Gainsborough silks and Victorian screens. It is a perfect choice for weary travellers wishing to escape the modern world.
