QUIRKY BOUTIQUE HOTEL
L’oscar instantly catches the eye with its lavishly-furnished guestrooms, velvet and leather-coated interiors and seven-storey chandelier. An incredible transformation from what was originally a Baptist church in the early 1900s.
The sumptuous interiors of this Grade II-listed building – imagined by interior designer Jacques Garcia – are elegantly eccentric with tassels, velvet pillows and bird motifs interspersed with original stain-glassed windows, marble fireplaces and oak-panelled walls. Bedrooms and suites are spectacularly set in deep golds, reds and purples, and feature plush feather beds, chaise longues, deep soaking tubs and marble bathrooms.
The centrepiece of the hotel is undoubtedly its restaurant, dramatically located in the former chapel and spread across several stories. Helmed by renowned London chef Tony Fleming, the Baptist Grill serves an exciting and inventive menu showcasing the very best of seasonal British ingredients. Equally alluring is the ground floor Café L’oscar, inspired by the elegance of a Parisian cafe with its illuminated onyx bar, mirror-lined ceilings, gilded panels and original artwork.
