New Linden Hotel

Notting Hill & West London


The Buddha bust in the lobby sets the zen tone for this light, airy and beautifully designed option located between Westbourne Grove and Notting Hill. Some of the 50 rooms (eg room 108 with a small balcony) are on the small side due to the Georgian building's quirky layout, but they feel cosy rather than cramped. Staff are charming too.

Check out the gorgeous wooden door leading to the lounge. There's a lift.
