Hotel Verta may be for sale, but it's still looking sassy

London's Vertical Entry. Nice.

I went past Hotel Verta in Battersea the other day, en route to have afternoon tea at the much-lauded Hotel Rafayel on the Left Bank (more of that to come, unfortunately). Anyways, having just written about its possible demise for HotelChatter, I stopped by the entrance and paid my respects. Doesn't it look slick?




Didn't go in, mind. Was wearing jeans and afraid that if it really is the property of the jet set, I'd have ended up beating an ignominious retreat.

I'll definitely pop into London's vertical gateway soon, though. Not just so I can catch it before it closes; but because I'm really hoping it's not as disappointing as the Rafayel.
