The rooms · Halo
Every photograph on this page is the actual room — click any of them to see it larger.
Riveted steel panels, a propeller on the wall, portholes with light behind them and a row of round bulbs down one side like the edge of a runway. A curved black sofa, a leather armchair with studs, a marble table with a neon sign glowing on it and a starfield ceiling. The projection usually shows a wing above the clouds.
Deep blue from floor to ceiling, two dolphins in relief on the wall lit from behind, a bubble column that changes colour, ribbed wood panels and a neon shell with Secret written inside it. Velvet banquettes, shell-backed chairs and a round rug like sand. The quietest and coolest room at this address.
Aubergine velvet walls, crystal chandeliers, zebra-print chairs and a wall of tropical forest at dusk. A neon sign reads “Good Vibes Only”, palms stand in every corner and a black marble table runs down the middle. Loud, saturated and made for photographs.
Dozens of mirror balls and silver balloons hanging over a violet room, a wall of vinyl sleeves, sequin panels, a curved bar and two long sofas in teal and navy. A neon sign says “music louder, eyes closed”. When the projector is on, the whole room turns into a light show.
Sculpted waves across the ceiling, deep blue walls with metal fish, a long white marble table with brass candle rings and a bar with stools along one side. The projection is usually open water breaking. Blue light everywhere and one warm lantern to keep it human.
Deep green and crimson walls, arches filled with flowers, a living wall of leaves, carved white panels and two chandeliers — one red, one crystal. A green velvet banquette, a marble table and armchairs in patterned brocade. The most photographed room on this address and the one guests describe as warm.
Navy textured walls, gilt frames, plaster busts on columns, a long marble table for twelve and a bar with brass stools. Behind it a two-level mezzanine with a neon Secret sign and a banquette that runs the length of the wall. The projection is a classical harbour scene. This is where the slow dinners go.
Bare brick, black steel windows, a black leather Chesterfield, a marble table for twelve in green velvet chairs, two crystal chandeliers and a neon sign reading Brooklyn. The screen shows the bridge at night. The largest room we have, and the one people book when there are more than fifteen of them.
Not sure which
Two people go in Aviator or Pearl. A dinner with ten goes in Boheme or Brooklyn. A hen party goes in Disco. Morocco is the one people photograph most, and Sapphire is the one they stay in longest.
