One of London's oldest hotels, having opened in 1851, the hotel underwent a recent refurbishment by interior designer Tully Filmer. Manetta's bar has a dark and sultry colour palette: black upholstery with polished rose gold detailing. Pops of red in soft velvets and supple leathers complete the opulent look. The Ormer Restaurant is lined with aged oak wood panelling with monochrome marble floors. The forest green velvet banquettes threaded with gold are interspersed with British racing green distressed leather chairs.
