Waarom mensen ervan houden

- Access to an exclusive private members' club and subterranean vitality pool
- Maximalist, whimsical Victorian decor that feels like a movie set
Snel Overzicht: It's a brilliant hybrid of a luxury Airbnb and a private members' club, but the flamboyant 'rainforest-opulent' decor and basement rooms aren't for everyone.
Beoordeeld door @conciergekate: My stay at The Other House in South Kensington was a dream. The interior design is incredibly chic, and I spent every evening unwinding by the cozy fireplace in the lounge. The bathroom felt like a luxury spa with those gorgeous double sinks. Highly recommend for a London trip!
