London’s Sanderson Hotel has been voted the hippest hotel in Europe by travel booking website TripAdvisor.

In addition to being referred to as a “surrealistic sanctuary”, the hotel also received praise for its interiors, comprising a lips-shaped couch and silver swan stairs, as well as suspended bubble chairs, serene paintings on the ceilings, and glass-walled bathrooms.

According to the Morgan’s Hotel Group website, “a lavish Urban Spa in the heart of London’s West End, Sanderson offers a retreat from the bustle of the city into a world of fantasy and wellbeing.

“The landmark 1950s building has been transformed by Philippe Starck into a surreal Cocteau-like dreamworld with a lushly landscaped interior courtyard garden, world-class gourmet restaurant by Alain Ducasse, and the extensive facilities of the renowned Agua Bathhouse.”
