“The Portobello Hotel doesn't feel like a hotel. It feels more like spending a few days with a rich, funky aunt who happens to live in London's Notting Hill”…

From Hip Hotels


“The Portobello discovered long ago that the key to success was to play up its quirks and style. This is a hotel that happily flaunts its own eccentricity. The rooms –unusual, inventive, cosy, and very sexy – have had that much admired haphazard, casual look that is deemed so typically English.”

From Newsweek


The Portobello Hotel was voted Sexiest beds by Harpers and Queen

“Wanna know the coolest place to stay in London . Why, the Portobello Hotel of course. This small, offbeat hotel attracts a real mish-mash of guests from actors and rock stars to models and writers”

From Vogue travel Magazine


“The walls of the Portobello could tell a story or two. It's the kind of place where you want to sign a record deal, or at least have a song written about you – a hotel for poets and musicians and late-night trysts”

By Laura Bailey for The Independent


“Grandiose mansion in a white Victorian terrace in the upscale part of town. Two sculpted box plants stand sentry at the entrance. Inside, the furnishings and décor take a more eccentric turn and the reception is deliberately understated. If you feel that one hotel looks and feels much the same as another, this is the place is for you. London's first townhouse hotel has been hosting pop stars, models and movie idols for 31 years”
