Located between Blackfriars Bridge and the Southbank Centre on one of the most creative stretches of London’s River Thames, The Bankside Hotel, Autograph Collection isn’t a hotel where art is a finishing touch; it’s the whole DNA. Spread across six floors are 161 rooms and seven suites, a residential format lobby lounge, a mezzanine library and gallery, complete with a private outdoor terrace. At street level, Art Yard Bar & Kitchen serves up seasonal plates and signature cocktails. The adjoining Art Yard Maker’s Studio hosts a rotating programme of artists in residence, and a well-equipped gym sits below ground.
