Sleep amongst the art at Hyatt Regency Churchill.
It may look rough but it is in fact art!
Art lovers looking for a place to stay in London should look no further than the Hyatt Regency Churchill, which has recently teamed up with the Saatchi Gallery to for a series of exhibitions in the hotel’s lobby. It has also created a Limited Edition Saatchi Gallery Suite – the first time the famous Saatchi Gallery has chosen to work exclusively with a London hotel.
The first of the three exhibitions ‘One Giant Leap’ opened on 1st February. The highlights are Stella Vine’s homage to Margaret Thatcher, an affectionate painting of the former Prime Minister and her husband Denis – very apt as The Iron Lady is currently taking the cinema charts by storm. Dexter Dalwood’s paintings in which he imagines what you might find if you were invited into the homes of Liberace and the Queen are also a timely treat with the Queen’s Jubilee just around the corner.
