The Laslett
Lived-in creative townhouse. Think quiet sophistication over flashy luxury — muted grey palette, original Victorian architecture, Penguin Classics on the bedside table, vinyl players in the suites. A wealthy friend's Notting Hill home, with proper hotel service tucked discreetly behind it.

Why It Matters
Named a Condé Nast Traveller UK top 30 hotel in London by readers. Winner of Outstanding New Hotel at the Independent Hotel Awards. Praised by the New York Times for 'fine style, comfort and friendly staff.' One of the very few quality boutique hotels in Notting Hill, and one with a genuine sense of place — every design choice ties back to the neighbourhood's art and carnival heritage.
Five Grade II listed Victorian townhouses on a quiet Notting Hill side street, joined into one 51-room boutique hotel. The name honours Rhaune Laslett, the community activist who organised what eventually became the Notting Hill Carnival — and that sense of local pride runs through everything here. Waldo Works designed the interiors, Biba founder Barbara Hulanicki contributed artwork, and antique pieces sourced from Jerome Dodd's Golborne Road shop dot the rooms and corridors. The ground floor is genuinely open to locals: a curated British library, a coffee shop, the Henderson Bar & Kitchen, and a rotating gallery and concept store that makes it feel more like a neighbourhood spot than a hotel lobby.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Double Bedroom
Compact but well-designed rooms running 204–235 sq ft. King bed, the hotel's signature muted palette with pops of colour from curated art, and all the standard Laslett touches: Penguin books, Big Bar, Votary products, USB charging. Honest and comfortable — just not a room to pace around in with big suitcases.
King · 20 sqmMaster Bedroom Double
A generous range of rooms spanning 240–356 sq ft. Super king bed, curated artwork, and the same design sensibility as the suites — just without the daybed or separate sitting area. Some are on the lower ground floor with lift access, and two are adapted for guests with mobility issues.
Super King · 28 sqmMaster Bedroom Suite
The biggest rooms in the house, ranging 323–367 sq ft. Super king bed, a dedicated area to work and dine, and several have a daybed for extra lounging. Walls are hung with artwork by local British artists and antique curiosities sourced from Jerome Dodd's Notting Hill shop. Bathrooms feature either a bath-and-shower combination or a freestanding bath with walk-in rain shower. Some have a semi-separate living room or second bedroom. Roll-away bed available for families.
Super King · 32 sqmSpare Room Double
The entry-level double rooms at 193–203 sq ft. True to the hotel's 'spare room' branding — these feel like a friend's well-appointed guest room. Double bed, the same curated artwork and books, and all the Laslett amenities. Rooms are snug, and travellers with oversized luggage should note the tight fit.
Double · 18 sqm
Spare Room Single
The smallest room in the house at 172 sq ft / 16 sq m with a single bed. Great for solo travellers who just need a comfortable, well-designed base in a brilliant location. Same design DNA and amenities as the rest of the hotel — just tighter quarters.

How you'll actually spend your days.
The ground floor also houses a rotating gallery showing work by established and emerging British artists, and a small shop featuring collaborations between the hotel and local designers and makers. Open to the public.
The ground-floor library is one of the hotel's signature spaces — open to guests and locals alike, stocked with carefully chosen books and designed for quiet reading or working. A proper room to hunker down in.
A half-covered, heated terrace directly in front of the hotel on Pembridge Gardens. Popular for breakfast, brunch and evening drinks. Fills quickly on warm evenings — worth arriving early to grab a spot.
Private dining, meetings, product launches and events can be hosted in the Henderson Bar & Kitchen or on the terrace (up to 80 guests outdoors). Seasonal canapé menus and full wine/cocktail menus available.
The Henderson Bar hosts monthly events and seasonal happenings — things like Oyster & Taco Nights (Wednesdays), wine tastings with Italian producers (with complimentary cicchetti), and seasonal cocktail specials. The calendar changes regularly and pulls in locals, not just hotel guests.
Select suites come with a vinyl record player — a neat touch for guests who want something analogue. Worth asking about when booking a Master Bedroom Suite.
