Whalegaming.com Recommendations on Where to Stay in London during Frieze

Whale Gaming is an expert at this next part as Frieze is located very close to the WHALE headquarters. Our favourite hotels around the area are situated in Marylebone. There is our all-time favourite the Chiltern Firehouse, an Andre Balazs luxury hotel and restaurant. Vogue describes this hotel the best, ” a night spent at the hotel moves from stage to stage, act to act, with all the lightness of touch, wit and irreverence of an Oscar Wilde play, except that at the end – many, many hours past cocktail hour – the plot has a habit of twisting into something a little more rock’n’roll than a comedy of manners. ”

Another great hotel situated close by is the Marylebone Hotel, A stone’s throw from the department stores and boutiques of Oxford Street and Mayfair and the independent restaurants and markets of Marylebone High Street, The Marylebone hotel harnesses the infectious energy and style of W1 at every turn. The charm and buzz of the chic 108 Brasserie; a yoga class playing out in the hotel’s decked courtyard; an advertising brainstorm underway in the next-door Library; or treadmills being pounded in the luxury Third Space gym, pool and spa – it all makes for a ‘village’ feel.
