Stylish hotel with opulent design in London

by Oliver Lind, Hotel Researcher
A former police cell might not be the most common place for a relaxing vacation, but this London Hotel is proving the opposite.


NoMad London is set in Covent Garden, a former police station in London that dates to the late 19th century. It boasts lush, state-of-the-art communal spaces and 91 rooms with marble fireplaces, mosaic-tiled bathrooms, gilded wardrobes, and a stylish selection of graphic art. Artwork is everywhere, and over 1,600 pieces are found throughout the property.

The former courtroom has been converted into a ballroom, its walls covered in a gripping mural by French artist Claire Basler, and the courtyard dining hall under an imposing glass dome recalls the jungle-like atmosphere of Edwardian greenhouses. 

NoMad Bar has an extra-decorative setting, while the more intimate Fireplace Room, with its classic dark paneling and botanical wallpapers, sets the vibe for a theatrical stay.
