It is named after the celebrated artist, whose portrait of the Duchess of Richmond is in the spacious lounge/reception. The hotel is a short walk from the Natural History Museum and South Kensington Tube station, which has a direct service to London Heathrow Airport. Olympia Exhibition Centre is 1.6 miles away.
