The Main House Shortlist*
London, England
Good Hotel Guide Review
Visitors can live like a local at this eclectic Victorian house close to Portobello Road, in chic, characterful Notting Hill. Each spacious, uncluttered suite occupies an entire floor, and has a tasteful mix of mellow wood, white walls, antique furnishings and artwork. Well supplied for city exploration, each room is equipped with maps and guidebooks, umbrellas and a mobile phone; freshly brewed organic tea or French coffee may be taken in the room or on the terrace. Breakfast is at a nearby deli or artisan bakery, where a discounted price is available upon brandishing a Main House key. Guests have access to a private health club nearby; the hostess has heaps of local tips to share. (Underground: Notting Hill Gate)
