The Best Hotels in Notting Hill
Notting Hill was on the map long before Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts graced its streets in the eponymous film. With so many things to see and do in this leafy, arty neighbourhood – not least the world-famous carnival – here’s our guide to the best hotels in Notting Hill, London.
The West London neighbourhood of Notting Hill has a rich cultural history that’s celebrated in style at the colourful carnival every August. But you don’t have to wait until summer to enjoy the area. By staying at one of these hotels, you’ll have Portobello Road on your doorstep. With more than 1,000 traders selling collectables and vintage bric-a-brac, here’s your chance to browse the largest antiques market in the world. And if it’s food, drink or shopping you’re after, some of the best restaurants, bars and stores in the capital are here, too.

3. Juliette’s Bed and Breakfast
Bed and Breakfast
This quirky B&B in Notting Hill offers something a bit different; from the beautifully decorated period rooms to the daily breakfast-in-bed service, there are lots of thoughtful touches. Each room is ensuite, and there’s a shared kitchen should you wish to cook for yourself. Close to Portobello Road Market, it’s a bohemian bolthole offering an authentic West London experience.
4. Portobello House
Boutique Hotel
On the corner of Ladbroke Grove and Chesterton Road, the polished Portobello House sits bang in the middle of the action. It’s the perfect spot for couples looking for a romantic getaway, with light-filled rooms that are whimsical and contemporary and feature accents by Laura Ashley. Don’t miss the Sunday roast or the hotel bar – great for people-watching – which serves Spanish tapas. It also hosts gin-tasting masterclasses and live music at weekends, all amid a modern English setting.
5. The Abbey Court Notting Hill
Boutique Hotel
Sitting on one of the prettiest streets in London, the Grade II-listed Abbey Court is a boutique hotel in Notting Hill that will appeal to lovers of all things vintage. Each individually designed room looks as though it’s been furnished with antiques found at nearby Portobello Road Market, with cane furniture, carved four-poster beds and floral curtains. All have sleek Italian Carrara marble ensuites with bathtubs and showers. The nostalgic vibe continues in the conservatory, where you can take breakfast before heading out to find some long-forgotten treasures of your own.
