Boutique hotels in London are the opposite of just ‘somewhere to get your head down’. They offer an added layer of charm many of the larger chain properties miss out on. Often independent or part of a smaller hotel group, they have intimate spaces with masses of attention to detail. Or at least the best ones do. We’re talking artful interiors, classic cocktail bars, buzzy restaurants and inventive breakfasts.
When it comes to small hotels in London, of course, you are spoiled for choice (and there’s something to suit every budget). Whether it’s an oyster happy hour with a rooftop view, art installations that reflect a building’s past, or hip chef residencies that float your boat, we have recommendations spanning Central London (and the popular West End) to Notting Hill and Hackney. Here’s our pick of the best boutique hotels in London – all that’s left to do is for you to choose and book.
