London's grand old hotels were decorated for an age that admired a classic figure: velvet banquettes, deep armchairs, mirrors framed in gold leaf. Ten girls on our route carry that kind of silhouette, and many of them share something no photograph can show, a sociable warmth that makes an anonymous hotel room feel lived in within minutes of her arrival.
We describe this look with care, because a figure is only ever the frame. What follows is mostly about the girls themselves, where they live, what they love and the kind of evening each one tends to make.
Bianka lives in Knightsbridge, knows her wines and loves Italian cooking, so dinner with her is as much about the conversation over the menu as the meal itself. Rosa, petite and curvy in Marylebone, bakes and collects vinyl, and Molly, with big glossy dark brown waves, brings house music, craft cocktails and a passion for vintage cars to her evenings around Soho. All three have a knack for making you feel like a welcome guest rather than an appointment.
Michelle, at 173 cm, and Milena, at 175 cm, combine height with curves, which gives them real presence at a dinner table. Michelle lives in Chelsea, sails and spends her afternoons in museums, while Milena, in South Kensington, plays tennis and makes ceramics. Luna, 171 cm with dark auburn red hair, lives in Mayfair and loves theatre and wine tasting.
Nancy, golden blonde with blue eyes, swims and loves a road trip, and, in her early thirties, carries an easy assurance from her home in Covent Garden. Thea, caramel blonde with green eyes, hikes and cycles and would happily talk about Japanese food all night.
Roxi, with long glossy black hair, trains at boxing fitness, surfs and lives in Pimlico near Victoria. Danielle, also raven haired, prefers the gentler pleasures of classic cinema, poetry and a quiet museum.
Ask any of these ten what she will wear and the answer usually depends on where you are taking her. A wrap dress for a brasserie on Marylebone High Street, something tailored and dark for the bar at the Royal Lancaster, a soft knit and good boots for an autumn walk through Hyde Park. What stays constant is that she dresses for the occasion and for her own comfort, and our portraits show each girl as she really looks, with nothing reshaped.
Warm company deserves time, and this look is a lovely match for a night rider overnight: ten hours for £2,400, dinner if you would like it, an old film in the room, and breakfast together when the city stirs outside the window. Overnights are secured with a 50 percent deposit, non-refundable on its travel component, while an ordinary hotel evening needs only 25 percent by bank transfer.
Plenty of curvaceous girls also appear elsewhere: Michelle and Milena among the statuesque, Danielle, Milena and Roxi with the raven haired, and Nancy and Thea among the blondes. The rates page sets out each fare, and a single message through booking sets the evening in motion.
