Hello,
here’s something for your consideration - a new Hotel concept opening up in London:
ARTS CLUB HOTELS
If you want to combine a good night out with a good night in, then London’s latest hotel group may have the perfect answer.
Guest Hotels have launched the world’s first arts club hotels - five London hotels dedicated to the contemporary arts scene. Guests will be treated to an eclectic mix of performance arts before climbing the stairs for good night’s sleep in luxury surroundings.
The idea is the brainchild of British Entrepreneur Johnny Sandelson who said:
“Until now, hotels have used art as decoration. We are reversing that concept by allowing artists to use our hotels as their showcase.”
There are five hotels in the group including the iconic Blakes in Kensington.
The Concierge Club is an exclusive members club promising access to the best of London’s emerging artists with shows inside the hotels and entry to special events at any one of a growing list of art community partners such as The Tate and the Institute of Contemporary Arts. The first 1,000 members to sign up receive a free nights stay in one the Guest Hotels and a special rate of £180 (usual price £240). So it’s definitely worth signing up now!

The hottest clubs in town have the longest waiting lists. It’s the price you pay to be part of the scene. But, we want to let you in to a trade secret…
If you join before the club is open, you’ll get to the top of the list- and bag yourself a fabulous deal on fees!
Here’s what you’ll get:
Invitations to private views and exhibitions at the ICA, The Tate ,The V&A, the Architecture Foundation and many other arts venues (find out more about this and our Sleeping Partners
Free entry to an ever-expanding list of galleries and museums.
Access to exclusive events in Guest Hotels.
Gain entry to ‘closed door’ cultural events at our Hotel locations throughout London. Each hotel has its own character, style and artistic program.
An annual Summer Party to rival the best parties in the capital.
Members’ events and behind the scenes tours, including Borough Market, Brick Lane, Camden Pub crawls and Mayfair nights.
All of Cultural London in hand, with a Lifestyle Concierge service included!
Hi Bryony
Tried to catch you up in a Woopra chat, but you were gone. Do you have some pictures that I can show in a post?
