NoMad London \

As if the exquisite food and drink offering and cool, sexy interior design weren’t reason enough to have NoMad London on your radar, know this: with over 1,600 collected and commissioned works by a cross-section of British and international artists, it’s as much a gallery as it is a sumptuous five-star hotel.

Whether you’re mulling over a Martini, chowing down on the tastiest chicken dish or relaxing in one of the opulent rooms, you’re never far away from an original artwork. Discover pieces from Swiss artist Catherine Denervaud, who uses her body to paint, photography from Martin Parr and specially commissioned works from the Royal Opera House across the road.
