I love the idea of secret rooms and hidden spaces, so I instantly fell in love with this bathroom neatly tucked between two built-in wardrobes in our hotel room
The Painted Room is renowned for being one of the first neoclassical interiors in Europe, decorated with exquisite wall paintings inspired by contemporary excavations of the Roman ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum. It is furnished with its original set of armchairs and sofas designed for the room by James "Athenian" Stuart.
This Painted Room was conceived around 1759 and completed in 1765. It served as a drawing room and probably also during large receptions.
