Silver Salon

Hidden away in the basement of the Hotel an unassuming panelled door opens to reveal a glittering room of opulence and magnificence. No expense has been spared to create this beautiful formal sitting room of impressive proportions. Walls have been painstakingly decorated with silver leaf to give the impression of a hall of mirrors, set against a background of deep cobalt blue.

A rare Anglo-Indian carved table divides the room into 2 contrasting halves, one sophisticated and masculine with damask upholstery and rich Turkish textiles, the other more feminine with delicate gilded French chairs and gilt console tables. Sumptuous silk curtains are draped elegantly beneath lavish organza pelmets, adding a dramatic touch as they shimmer seductively from the light of Italian chandeliers and old church candlesticks.

A tromp l'oeil painted ceiling of clouded sky is the triumphant conclusion to an amazing space that has been extensively used as a location for films, music videos and photographic shoots by almost every glossy magazine imaginable.
