Notting Hill & West London
From the niftily designed, wide-open foyer to the joyfully huge garden with its glorious lawn, this tidy 154-room boutique hotel just round the corner from Earl’s Court tube station has smallish rooms, but they are attractively presented, comfy and come with neat shower or bath. It has a snazzy bar, helpful service throughout, and soft colours.
The underground parking must be booked in advance.
