If you binged the entire season of The Queen\u2019s Gambit on Netflix and now find yourself obsessed with \u201860s style and chess then you\u2019re not alone. <\/p>\n
The show, featuring Anya Taylor-Joy as chess-prodigy Beth Harmon smashed the record for the most-viewed Netflix limited series last year.<\/p>\n
And, the aesthetic has lived in our dreams ever since\u2026<\/p>\n
Now, if you want to immerse yourself in your favourite show, you can stay at a retro hotel which is inspired by the Queen\u2019s Gambit.<\/p>\n
Did you love The Queen's Gambit? Tell us in the comments…<\/i> <\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The stunning suite is set at 21c Museum Hotel in Lexington, Kentucky \u2013 the town where much of the show is set.<\/p>\n
It features sumptuous mid-century style decor with retro drinks trollies (obviously), chess-inspired 1960\u2019s wallpaper and a chess board.<\/p>\n
Oh, and that\u2019s not it\u2026<\/p>\n
Named The Harmon Room, after the central character, the beautiful suite also features a giant chess piece on the ceiling \u2013 recreating her pill-induced hallucinations.<\/p>\n
So you can plan your moves for your next chess match before you sleep.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Travel guide Visit Lex explained: "We've partnered with 21c Museum Hotel to bring the stylish mid-century appeal of The Queen's Gambit \u2013<\/i> the hit Netflix series set in Lexington \u2013 into the present day with a meticulously designed boutique hotel experience inspired by the show and its pause-worthy retro interiors. <\/p>\n
"Custom flourishes, like chess-themed wallpaper created especially for the room, add to the mod magic."<\/p>\n
The room sleeps two people and you\u2019ll be given a guide to local landmarks, locations which featured in The Queen\u2019s Gambit and a complimentary \u201cLex Liquors\u201d tote bag just like Beth has on the show.<\/p>\n
