Alternatives
Other hotels we have written up that may suit a different brief.
The Laslett
- Best for
- Notting Hill weekends, neighbourhood atmosphere and travellers who prefer residential design to a grand lobby.
- Trade-off
- Townhouse rooms vary in size and bathroom layout
The strongest all-round boutique choice here for travellers who want the hotel to feel rooted in its neighbourhood: five listed townhouses, locally referential design and a residential atmosphere just off Notting Hill Gate.
Booking tipCompare the named room sizes rather than the photographs alone; the 16-square-metre single and 30–34-square-metre suites solve very different stays.
Hazlitt’s
- Best for
- Literary history, theatre, restaurants and travellers who want period character in central Soho.
- Trade-off
- Central Soho can be lively
A literary, Georgian Soho stay that prioritises old-house atmosphere, antiques and honesty bars over modern lifestyle-hotel spectacle, while keeping theatres and restaurants within an easy walk.
Booking tipPublished average sizes range from 15 to 33 square metres before suites; choose the category carefully and ask for the quietest suitable room.
The Zetter Clerkenwell
- Best for
- Cocktails, Clerkenwell restaurants, Farringdon connections and short character-led stays.
- Trade-off
- The lively bar is part of the identity
A 13-bedroom Clerkenwell townhouse whose cocktail parlour and eccentric interiors give it more personality than scale, well placed for Farringdon and the City without staying in either district’s business-hotel mould.
Booking tipSizes range from an 18-square-metre double to a 54.5-square-metre Residence; choose the named category, not merely the cheapest available room.
