The room has been launched by boutique hotel and contemporary art museum 21c Museum Hotel Lexington in Kentucky.

The show, based on the 1983 novel of the same name, is mainly filmed in the state.

Called The Harmon Room, named after the main character Beth Harmon, it is decorated with mid-century furniture and decor similar to the many hotel rooms that Beth stays in during her life.

Chess fans will also be pleased, with copies of Chess Review magazine in the room, chess-themed wallpaper as well as a chess set to play with, which you can buy.
