Rockwell
Housed in a restored Victorian terrace, Rockwell isn’t your average London four-star. For a start, it’s independently owned, meaning no identikit furniture but rather rooms of different sizes and shapes that are all thoughtfully kitted out, with funky wallpaper and Egyptian cotton bed linen. Thanks to triple glazing, you’d never know busy Cromwell Road is just outside. The hotel has quickly built up a reputation among design-savvy travellers, and has already been used as a backdrop for several major fashion shoots. The small reception area is the epitome of understated elegance, with well-stocked bookshelves, a modern fireplace and cool jazz on the stereo, while the One-Eight-One restaurant, bar and outside walled garden are worthy destinations in their own right. On the downside, corridors are a bit dingy, and bathrooms in the smaller rooms are on the poky side – but at least they come with White Company toiletries and fluffy robes. And, frankly, at these prices, we’re not complaining.
