Fodor's Expert Review art'otel Battersea
1 Electric Blvd., London, Greater London, SW11 8BJ, England
This Radisson hotel adjacent to the long-gestating renovation of Gilbert Scott's art deco Battersea Power Station in the revitalized Nine Elms area has, as the name might suggest, an art-world theme. The hotel's signature artist Jaime Hayon is responsible not only for the design of the uncluttered but welcoming guest rooms (all with floor-to-ceiling windows to take in the views---prices go up according to what floor you're on), but also for the highly stylized, art-filled public spaces. The hotel even has its own art gallery, as well as an Italian-themed all-day café, a 15th-floor Portuguese fine dining restaurant with a rooftop bar, a spa, and a heated rooftop infinity pool plus hot tub.
PROS
- heated rooftop pool with fabulous views
- excellent food on-site
- spacious rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows
CONS
- staff friendly but inexperienced
- controls may be too tech-reliant for some
- on the pricey side
