Artist Residence London

"How did it strike you on arrival?From the outside it’s a chic brasserie in residential Pimlico south of Victoria Station—there’s no inkling of rooms upstairs. What’s the crowd like?There’s a boho feel to the clientele, as the name suggests—mostly leisure travelers, and in-the-know fans of the cellar bar. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.Ten high-ceilinged rooms have been carved out of a former townhouse, each completely different in feel and well-sized. Expect fancy headboards (one looks like a Chesterfield sofa, another a farm gate), wood floors and period features including stucco and flashes of exposed-brick wall. We’re craving some deep, restorative sleep. They got us?All beds are king size and dressed in Egyptian cotton. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any of that find its way into your suitcase?Free Tunnocks Caramel wafer cookies take UK guests straight back to childhood. The pork crackling ($5) is the highlight of the minibar. Please tell us the bathroom won’t let us down.It’s your normal affair of rainfall showers and thick towels. The toiletries are by U.K. producer Bramley (which concentrates on natural ingredients), and suites get claw-foot tubs as well. Maybe the most important topic of all: Wi-Fi. What’s the word?Free, high-speed Wi-Fi. Room service: Worth it?There’s no real room service, though on special request you can have breakfast, lunch or dinner from the restaurant downstairs delivered to your room for no extra charge. Staff: If you could award one a trophy, who gets it, and why?Everyone was pleasant. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.The bar, Clarendon Cocktail Cellar, is a gorgeous speakeasy-style place in the hotel’s cellar with exposed brick walls, pressed tin ceilings and claret-colored stools around a horseshoe-shaped bar. What was most memorable—or heartbreaking—about your stay?That cellar bar. Bottom line: worth it, and why?It’s a lovely, different kind of hotel in a lovely, different area of London." - Julia Buckley

I visited to Artist Residence in London twice this week. Once, with my dog, who was cared for beautifully, with free treats and a dog bed in the room. The second time I had my book launch in the function rooms and stayed over with friends. Leanne and the team cared for us all beautifully. The beds were so comfortable, the rooms decorated beautifully, the showers were easy to work out and had great water pressure, the shower gel etc was of great quality. All the staff was exceptionally helpful and polite, particularly Briony and her colleague at breakfast, whose name I have forgotten but who was noticeably quietly efficient and unflappable. We had a great party with excellent bar service and fantastic canapés. I think we must have tested out nearly every side of the business, just by chance, and found it exceptional at every turn. The owners can be very proud of this team and everyone who can to my launch said they would definitely be back. I certainly will.

I absolutely loved staying at the Artist Residence. I booked a medium room (#6) and it was perfect for my nearly week long stay. The room was super clean and wonderfully appointed. The location is perfect and very safe for a solo woman traveler. The restaurant was fantastic too - I ate breakfast there most mornings. Leanne and her team are simply amazing - I highly recommend!

Another lovely stay at the Artists residence! I stayed in the small room (room 3) which didn’t feel cramped and was lovely. Bed and pillows were super comfy. Love all the Bramley products available, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I ate both dinner and breakfast at the hotel, which were both utterly delicious. Great location to explore London too. I recommend this lovely hotel!

My husband and I had one of the most delicious meals of our trip at the Artist Residence restaurant. We both ordered the Sunday set menu with three items; an appetizer, entree, and the most divine cheesecake for desert. The waitstaff were super friendly and accommodating too. We would definitely return if we have the opportunity and highly recommend this restaurant.

I stayed at The Artist Residence in July 2025. We enjoyed the stay. Overall, the hotel is clean with a comfortable bed, and a nice shower. Additionally, the breakfast at the restaurant downstairs was solid. |Note that I did find our room very small, and maybe not perfect for 2 people, and better for 1 person as you can hear the other person in the bathroom. We stayed in a Small Plus Room. I'd say that the hotel is expensive for what you get, but London is expensive. Next time, I'd seek out a larger room. |The hotel is in a quiet neighborhood in Pimlico, and is roughly about a 10 minute walk to the nearest underground, so it may not be convenient for all. It is about a 25-30 minute walk to Soho. |Overall, I liked the hotel, but didn't think it was exceptional.

Absolutely terrible customer service experience at this hotel. I can't comment on the experience of staying there only the booking experience. We booked one night accommodation via Expedia, as a last minute trip. We wanted to bring our small dog so we made sure to filter for dog friendly hotels and this was the first hotel to show in the listings. I read the listing thoroughly to make sure the hotel was indeed dog friendly and at no point was there any mention that only specific rooms were dog friendly, nor did it specify this in the hotel's pet policy it only stated the pet fee. I always check this as there have been some hotels in the past where they have noted specific rooms not being dog friendly. So on the basis of this we booked this hotel. However, a day after we booked, literally the night before we were due to check in, I received a message from the manager Leanne stating we would need to be charged £50 extra to move to a dog friendly room in addition to the £15 pet fee per night. She didn't even care to call to inform me to ensure I got the message, given that our booking was the next day. Even worse she didn't even respond back to my message so I ended up calling them to discuss my options, even though it was a non refundable booking. Out of principle I refused to pay extra due to their misleading advertising. Additionally, they weren't even fully booked, in fact several rooms were still available so they could have easily made good on their mistake and moved us to a dog friendly room without charge, but instead decided to cause us undue stress by their inflexibility and we were forced to sort out alternative accommodation. Luckily we were able to get Expedia to refund the full amount but this booking experience was certainly below par. We certainly will never book here and we will actively advise friends, family and my colleagues to never consider this establishment due to its lack of customer service and flexibility. The silver lining is that we managed to find a more exceptional hotel to stay at that we absolutely loved. Don't be misled by this hotel like we were, your money is better spent elsewhere.

A very nice and confortable hotel that makes you feel at home, supported by a team that pays attention to your requests. It is located in a quiet street but walking distance to Sloane square, should you wish to enjoy the city buzz and enjpy a bit of shopping.|Last but not least, the inhouse restaurant and the bar provides great food should you decided to stay put and chill out.

Stopped by Artist Residence since it was a short walk from my hotel and I wanted a good breakfast before I left London. I arrived shortly after 8am when it opened only to be informed the chef was running about 20 mins late and I still wanted to stay? I stayed because I didn't know where else to go and had enough of my hotels basic continental breakfast. The girl in front wasn't very friendly (tall, short hair, tattooed arms kind of looked like Velma from Scooby Doo but taller) not one smile from her at all while I was there. Service was a bit slow, even after the chef arrived and for that reason alone I knocked off one star. With the exception of the lack of friendly service, my breakfast was actually good. I had English tea, a latte, and French toast with a side of back. All were cooked perfectly and delicious however my French toast didn't come with raspberries as it said on the menu, only blueberries but it was still very good. While I was eating, I noticed unfriendly girl serving the couple next to me and I couldn't take my eyes off their eggs Benedict that looked delicious and wish I had gotten that instead but maybe another time if I'm ever in London again!

Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. I didn't know some of the descriptions of the food. Ask the staff to explain.

Like being in your 20something cousin's house. Mismatched, well worn cushions fraying at the seams. The exterior is very inviting. Upon entry there are small tables along the street view and booths toward the back. We were a group of 4, seated in a booth alongside the makeshift drink station. While the dishwasher was being run and the staff were sharing their stories, we were in the midst of it. There is a lovely bar space downstairs and multiple rooms for more private conversation. I'm not sure food is served down there. The food was good. We ordered chorizo and crispy octopus to start. The small plates came before our drinks did. We then ordered our large plates -sea bass, schnitzel and pork belly- all delicious and asked for the wine list. The drink order was taken halfway through the meal. The pear chocolate tart was recommended for dessert. It was fine. It was interesting. Feeling a part of the experience but clearly not the center. The food was the star. The ambiance could use some maturity.

We had a delightful dinner here. The food was delicious, the servers nice and attentive (but not overly so), the vibe relaxed, and the drinks good. Enjoy!

Simply great: This is the real boutique Hotel I always imagined, but could not find. Individual rooms, great baths and showers, super cosy beds! Loved the art prints and drawings, but the two factors I love: Super food and drinks, superb cocktail bar! Breakfast from modern to classic, for Dinner they are perfecting their menue on and on, also wine selection is so different, try their Gruener Veltliner - it is like milk for me! Further The staff: All young (at heart), motivated, friendly almost like real friends which transcends my feeling from the individual treatment as in a Bagpacker in New Zeeland when I was young to having arrived in comfort, but have not forgotten about my past fond experiences - my favorite in London (&Brighton plus Cornwall and soon Bristol as rumor has it)!!!

Very nice hotel located 10-min walk from Victoria Station. We stayed in the Club Suite (room #4), and the place and the people working there are all a real pleasure. Complimentary coffees and teas, and they can help you to book or call any place if you'd like them to. Great place, definitely recommended
