About The Portobello Hotel

The Portobello Hotel has been a legendary hideaway for musicians, actors, and free spirits since the 1970s. This quirky Victorian townhouse perfectly captures the bohemian essence of Notting Hill with its eclectic mix of antiques, four-poster beds, and theatrical decor that creates an atmosphere unlike any other London hotel.

Each of the 21 rooms is completely unique, from the famous Round Bed Room with its Victorian bathtub to suites featuring everything from Japanese screens to colonial artifacts. The hotel's rock and roll heritage is evident throughout, with a guest list that has included everyone from Johnny Depp to Kate Moss, all drawn to its unconventional charm and intimate scale.

The hotel's prime location on Stanley Gardens puts guests just steps from the famous Portobello Road Market, Hyde Park, and the trendy restaurants and pubs that make Notting Hill one of London's most desirable neighborhoods. Despite its celebrity connections, the hotel maintains an unpretentious, welcoming atmosphere that makes every guest feel like part of its colorful history.
