Notting Hill Location

Located on a quiet street in Notting Hill, the hotel is 5 minutes from Portobello Road Market. Nearby landmarks include Kensington Palace (1 km), Leighton House Museum (2 km), Hyde Park (2.5 km), and the Natural History Museum (2.5 km). The area features boutiques like Paul Smith and Agent Provocateur on Westbourne Grove.

Guest Services Overview

Services include an 'Insider's Guide' to Notting Hill with shopping benefits at local ateliers, neighborhood recommendations for coffee and restaurants, and turndown service. The hotel partners with local eateries and boutiques to provide guest privileges. Room service operates with a light bites menu and minibar access.

Historical Rock'n'Roll Legacy

The hotel has hosted musicians like Blur, Alice Cooper, and Robbie Williams. Room 16 features a circular bed where Johnny Depp and Kate Moss reportedly bathed in champagne. The property maintains a discreet atmosphere despite its celebrity clientele and frequent use for fashion shoots.

“Nestled in Notting Hill, this boutique hotel radiates a relaxed charm, a refreshing take on London elegance. Its individually-designed rooms, some overlooking communal gardens, offer a quiet retreat steps from Portobello Road. I particularly appreciate the reported attention to detail - luxurious room products and cozy common areas invite a longer stay.”

I found the staff very kind. Housekeeping and breakfast service was perfect. Breakfast itself was GOOD. The bed and pillow provided great comfort. It was like home.
I thought the air conditioning was LOUD. It interrupted the otherwise perfect calm of the room. Otherwise, everything was perfect.
