Stylotel

Notting Hill & West London


The crisp industrial design – scored aluminium treads, opaque coloured glass, riveted stainless steel, metal bed frames – of this 50-room niche hotel is contemporary and upbeat. Elbow room is at a premium in some: 'stylorooms' are small, but the largely carpet-free floor surfaces help keep things dapper. The larger fully automated `awesome stylorooms' in the new wing have fabulous bathrooms.

Still more spacious and swish are the eight `stylosuites' above the Sussex Arms pub around the corner. Free tea and coffee in the lounge, and the location near Paddington train station is excellent.
