| Their vision took concrete shape when from out of the blue appeared Julie Hodgess, a highly acclaimed interior designer and the rest is history. Today, Portobello hotel is kind of a pioneer as far as initiating the craze for small boutique oriented hotels in London are concerned. |
Portobello is easily the most sought after hideaway hotel in London and its policy of maintaining privacy at any cost has only endeared the hotel to the celebrities for the past three decades.
Facilities: The Portobello is a world famous off-beat hotel and its rooms have a characteristic colonial legacy replete with the traditional ceiling fans, wooden shutters and antique furniture.
From standard single rooms to spacious double rooms, Portobello with its authentic furniture and beds along with amazing fabrics makes for a truly riveting hotel.

For instance, let us be very clear about the single rooms. They are not that spacious but neither are they dingy or monotonous, especially when one considers the ingenious décor. Add to it the lavish pergola bed, and you have a room fit for Napoleon to rest for a night.
Add-Ons: Portobello hotel with its bohemian streak, be it Room No 16's circular bed or for that matter its wooden shutters, this is one London hotel which is more famous than many other 5 star hotels of London. The hotel is the epitome of everything that is odd, unconventional, weird, strange and peculiar.
Apart from its eccentricity, the hotel's jacuzzi tubs come as a great relief to those sore muscles after an eventful day out in the streets of London. |
