The Best UK Hotels to Visit for Interior Inspiration
We love a hotel stay at LIV for Interiors, so we thought we’d share our favourite places to stay that we feel have the best interior décor. From recent visits to Another Place – which has got us painting our fire surrounds and skirtings for a colour drenching aesthetic, to trips to the Yard in Bath with all the neutral colour palette hues, we’re constantly inspired by the places where we stay. So why not book your next UK trip at one of these dream interior havens?
Another Place, The Lakes
@rebecca_norris
A relaxed, contemporary hotel situated beside Ullswater in the Lake District is Another Place. With its stunning location and interior to match it’s one to add to the ‘places to visit’ list. A forward-thinking hotel, Another Place was recently featured the BBC Two show, Interior Design Masters, with the winner getting the opportunity to design one of the large family suites. Combining on-trend eclectic styling with heritage colours and exquisite panelling, the hotel isn’t afraid of using colour. We certainly admire their ability to pair pops of vibrant shades in a way that still stays true to the heritage of the building.

The Yard in Bath
The Yard in Bath
Nestled in the heart of Bath is this gorgeous boutique hotel. Set within a historic courtyard, each bedroom is unique in its design with a welcoming light and airy feel. Neutral shades are used in abundance in this special space, providing a warm and welcoming feeling that beautifully reflects its natural soft stone surroundings.

Beaverbrook Townhouse, London
Country & Townhouse
Exuding quintessential British Charm with Japanese allure and the flamboyant personality of Lord Beaverbrook, the Sloane Street town house shows us exactly how to clash colour and pattern. From combining pinks and greens with delicate vintage-inspired fabrics and plenty of tasselled details, to vibrant throws and art déco furniture, the carefully considered mix brings delight to the eye.

Wild Escapes, Fullerton
Working alongside the owner and designer Will Hardy, The Main Company was appointed to bring his vision to life for Wild Escapes. Providing the bespoke kitchens and also the cladding, each treehouse is unique and inspiring. Oozing character from the natural wood used throughout with contemporary injections of colour, these beautiful designs are the perfect marriage between nature and interior design. Rustic yet with all the luxury touches expected from a top hotel stay, a treehouse visit is guaranteed not to disappoint.
Artist Residence, Brighton
Artist Residence
With striking wrought iron beds and plush velvet orange chairs, Artist Residence sure knows how to play with texture. Throw in some French grain sack cushions and one-off collectable furniture pieces and you’ll have an interior that’s visually striking and rather homely too! We love this aesthetic with its bold-coloured walls and patterned rugs; it’s a scheme that has us totally inspired to be brave with colour and individual in our furniture choices.
Bodmin Jail Hotel, Cornwall
Bodmin Jail Hotel
Nestled deep in the heart of Cornwall is the impressive Bodin Jail Hotel. Featuring eclectic décor, the hotel knows how to enhance its unusual character. With luxurious bedding and the odd pop of colour, the hotel’s décor doesn’t detract from the fact that it was in fact once an old jail! An industrial aesthetic with elegant contemporary touches, the hotel makes the most of its natural features including its exposed brick walls to deliver a scheme that’s elegant and historical. Just try not to have nightmares about being locked up for life whilst you sleep!

The Pig on the South Downs
Ok ok! We know The Pig gets a lot of exposure but so it should! Packed with bold wallpaper, clashing prints and eclectic charm, each hotel is truly individual. A lesson on mixing prints, The Pig shows just how to do it. With the perfect balance of bold, dark and daring interiors with patterns galore, the chain of ‘it’ hotels has got it just right in our opinion — plus, the food is pretty good too! Definitely worth a visit when you next plan on a South Downs hike, even if you just pop in for lunch.
