Blakes is the inspirational creation of world renowned designer Anouska Hempel as the world's first luxury boutique hotel. Located in the leafy Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Blakes is justly famous for its stunning design, elegance and dedicated service. Its uncompromising stand on privacy has made it the London base for film stars, musicians and all the top designers, earning its reputation as The "Couture" Hotel. Sympathetically converted from a collection of period Victorian town houses, Blakes is now established and recognized as totally unique and has revolutionized and influenced the concept of the small luxury hotel worldwide.
Stunning design, elegant and romantic, each room individually created by Anouska Hempel displaying her immaculate attention to detail reconstructed to provide the ideal blend of colour, texture and atmosphere. The colour schemes are daring, stunning and dramatic, all designed with a vibrant spirit, the passion for travel and life, as it should be, romantic and though provoking. Black and mustard, rich cardinal reds, lavender, vanilla, washes of tea rose and a room that is white on white on white, offering style and elegance to the discerning traveller. In the business of making dreams a reality, unable to accept the ordinary, Anouska Hempel created a world of excellence one room at a time.
