Blakes South Kensington Hotel
The 47 bedrooms are a tour-de-force of atmospheric design featuring four-poster beds, rich fabrics, and antique furniture
Blakes hotel rooms use global curios and dark colour schemes
Every room is different though, with a great variation of styles
Blakes is in Roland Gardens running south from Old Brompton Road in the heart of Kensington and Chelsea
