Stepping through the doors of Ruby Lilly is like stepping back in time, to the age of champagne and shoulder pads: the glittering 1980s.

Accompanying us every loafer-clad step of the way is the inimitable Monaco Franze. In fact, Lilly’s named after his one unrequited love.

From cassette tapes and old TVs to a champagne chandelier, Lilly’s look pokes affectionate fun at that most decadent of decades and its glitzy schickeria set.

In the bar and on the roof terrace, the kir royale’s still flowing, alongside drinks and snacks tailored to modern tastes. Come morning, a healthy breakfast’s served with barista coffee.

Lilly’s rooms all reflect our Lean Luxury style, with a big, comfy bed, a rainfall shower and soft, fluffy towels. And while warm wood finishes contrast with unpolished elements, a Marshall amp mean you can leave your Walkman at home.
