This gorgeous 41 m2 suite has its name after renowned historic figure Karl Marx. In the aftermath of the failed European revolutions of 1848, thousands of political exiles sought refuge in Britain. Those years, the building was named as German Hotel and it was home of many political exiles from Poland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy and France. At this time, future leader of socialist movement, philosopher and journalist from Western Germany, Karl Marx arrived in London in August 1849 and was soon joined by his wife Jenny von Westphalen and their children Jenny, Laura, and Edgar. The family first stayed in the building, a popular destination for Germans in London, and Marx started writing his popular “Das Kapital” here. Marx and his family lived in the hotel for three months in 1850.
