Who is Prince Albert Hotel best for?
Strictly for gay and bi men, this is a private, low-profile house. Nothing marks the front, which suits anyone who prefers discretion.
Themed weekends, among them clothing-optional and kink events, run through the calendar and some rooms are fitted for play. If that appeals it is an obvious base; if not, choose one of the calmer adults-only houses.
