Abstract – the bar
The hotel’s new cocktail bar – Abstract – is a design hub of The Exhibitionist Hotel complete with colourful and illuminated installations – including a background of mixing glasses, filled with varying shades of vivid vodka. Guests and London’s locals will have the chance to enjoy classic and designer cocktails made by the hotel’s new in-house mixologist, Issac Muigai.
The Back Room – the main gallery
The Back Room is the main gallery space of The Exhibitionist Hotel, which will showcase installations and works of art. The Back Room will be transformed regularly so visitors will be able to experience something different with each visit.
The hotel’s first resident artists will be LE GUN, the London-based illustration collective, known internationally for their execution of large-scale drawings and three dimensional drawn installations.
The installation is a walk-in drawing, covering all four walls of the space, with a three dimensional phone box to an absurdist reality. A voice on the line quotes everyone from Kurt Schwitters to Captain Haddock. The drawing is a night time street scene from Legundon, a surreal parallel London with its own geography and mythology developed by Le Gun over the years.
The hotel hosts four suites – two on the lower ground floor level and two in the penthouse. The lower ground floor suites contain stunning plunge pools with Jacuzzis and aqua TVs while there will be an outdoor cinema in each of the upstairs suites. The suites have been specially designed by critically acclaimed interior designers, Squint and Jimmie Martin.
There are 37 individually designed rooms located within the hotel, many of which feature private balconies offering the upmost seclusion
