Portobello Hotel

Notting Hill & West London


This splendidly located, 21-room property has been a firm favourite with rock and rollers and movie stars down the decades. Feature rooms are presented with stylish colonial decor, four-poster beds and inviting roll-top baths; room 16 has an ample round bed, a Victorian bathing machine and a roll-call of past celebrity lodgers.

Things are simpler and rooms much smaller lower down the tariff registry, while the overall decor could do with some attention. Rooms at the back have views of the neighbouring properties’ beautiful gardens, but the hotel itself has no garden.
