“An achingly hip hotel in (equally trendy) Margate owned by indie band The Libertines. Interiors have a grungy-chic feel — think velvet, moody hues, and brass beds. There's a good restaurant serving modern British fare and an (unsurprisingly) lively bar. A fun base for a weekend by the sea.”

Is The Libertines' hotel worth staying in?

A grotty seaside B&B turned into a mish-mash of creativity and iconography by indie band The Libertines, perhaps the world’s least likely hoteliers.
