IT’S ALWAYS poignant when a church of any denomination gets converted to secular use but in the case of L’Oscar Hotel, which opens this month off Holborn in London, it’s the conversion of the headquarters of the Baptist Union, plus chapel, to a perfectly lovely boutique hotel. I’m trying to think of anything further from the Baptist spirit than L’Oscar, which seeks to capture the hedonism of the Bloomsbury set and Oscar Wilde, and fails. In particular, the Baptist Bar, a conversion of the former chapel, which situates the bar where the organ used to be, is so discombobulating, I may have to return to check it out; the domed ceiling has lovely panels with the trees of the Bible.
