Maybe it’s a coincidence, however since final 12 months’s EU referendum there’s been a flurry of resort openings in London.
This one is within the coronary heart of Covent Backyard, albeit with a unusual French affect, courtesy of its 4 Parisian homeowners.
There are 18 rooms, broadly Artwork-Deco impressed; a buzzy mezzanine bar (our £200 bundle consists of two cocktails); lengthy, slender eating room and open kitchen; one other bar on the entrance with inviting stools and attention-grabbing gins, plus participating workers, a few of whom don’t converse a phrase of English however have attractive smiles and enviable figures.

Gallic aptitude: The Henrietta Lodge has a French affect courtesy of its 4 Parisian homeowners
It’s completely different. We stumble upon an Australian couple outdoors the raise. They’ve received 4 big suitcases and we hope their room is a contact larger than ours.
Not that we’re complaining.
We just like the marble skirting, cleverly designed toilet and wall-hanging cabinet, which manages to retailer a fridge, protected, espresso machine, hair dryer, umbrella and loads of snacks.
Most of the tables within the restaurant have angled sides to make it simpler to get extra of them in. These seating two are on the small measurement.

Enjoyable: The Inspector offers the institution a four-star ranking, and compliments its buzzy bar
Fairly just a few of the dishes require clarification. There are hints of Italian and Indian, however with a French twist. It’s enjoyable not fairly realizing what’s going to land in your plate.
The hubbub of the evening earlier than is unrecognisable as we devour a breakfast of fabulous home-made raspberry jam plonked on salted butter on freshly baked croissants.
Decadence is difficult to withstand on the Henrietta.
