The Portobello ****

🎢 A staycation in a 4-star hotel set across two listed Victorian townhouses, tucked away behind small, very London-style private gardens. The past is clearly present: exposed brickwork, period proportions and original details, refreshed with contemporary design and subtle nods to the area’s industrial heritage. Downstairs, the bar-café connects naturally with the Notting Hill rhythm : coffee during the day, drinks as the afternoon winds down.
