“I arrived on cobbled Folgate Street and stepped into a jewel box”

One of a kind, Batty’s eponymous room deserves a category all of its own. The 18th-century bed has fluted posts and hand-carved capitals. The bathroom reveals a walk-in shower as well as a deep roll-top bath. Though undoubtedly the star of this Deluxe room is its lavishly planted 35m2 terrace, your own slice of tranquillity.

On Valentine’s Day in the late 1700s, lovers often turned to charming little guides like The Gentleman’s Valentine Writer and The Lady’s Own Valentine Writer. These illustrated collections were packed with cheeky and occasionally daring love notes for those who preferred witty words over grand gestures. We suspect Batty Langley himself would have approved.
“By wearing clothes of stylish cut,
For a dandy you may pass;
But head, and ears, you can’t conceal,
You still are but an ass.”

Courtesan Kitty Fisher turned heads in the 18th-century, and so it is only proper that the room named in her honour here at Batty Langley’s is a showstopper too.
