The bright airy room with high ceilings and clean, white elegance has made the Corfu Suite at Blakes Hotel London a favourite among honeymooning couples and caught the attention of boutique hotel specialists Mr and Mrs Smith, who named the French Provencal suite the world's sexiest hotel bedroom. To mark its tenth anniversary, the online booking site compiled a list of properties around the world in categories such as best Smith hotel, sexiest bedroom, hottest hotel bar and best hotel restaurant. Winners were based on more than 50,000 votes which were edited down by the site's editorial team.
Room 505 at Blakes Hotel London—which bills itself as the first boutique hotel in the world—was designed by Anouska Hempel, a London-based hotelier and interior designer whose portfolio includes the flagship Louis Vuitton store in Paris and retail stores for Van Cleef and Arpels.
