The latest in hotel design chic is – in the owners’ words – Rough Luxe. In a bit of King’s Cross that’s choked with ratty B&Bs and cheap chains, this Grade II-listed property has walls artfully distressed, torn wallpaper, signature works of art, old-fashioned TVs that barely work and even retains the sign for the hotel that preceded Rough Luxe: ‘Number One Hotel’. Each tiny room has free wireless internet, but otherwise have totally different characters: there’s the one with the free-standing copper tub, the one with the rose motif and so on. The set-up is flexible too: rooms with shared bathrooms can be combined for group bookings, and the owners are more than happy to chat over a bottle of wine in the back courtyard where a great breakfast is served.
