The Exhibitionist Hotel – Hotel Review

The Exhibitionist Hotel, with its exceptional location in the heart of the city’s museum district, delivers the best of the west for visitors. From the front door of this eccentric stay, guests can reach sprawling Hyde Park and Kensington Palace by foot in about 15 minutes and the Victoria and Albert (V&A), Natural History and Science museums even sooner. Read on for the full review.

For its boutique size, the Exhibitionist Hotel also packs quite the punch when it comes to character. Beige-washed hotel rooms be damned: this South Kensington stay features bright art, hodgepodge sculptures and puffy, patchwork sofas. Like name, like nature.
