Fodor's Expert Review The Distillery

186 Portobello Rd., London, Greater London, W11 1LA, England Fodor's Choice

With an actual gin distillery in the basement, it's a good thing this delightful hotel offers a great trio of compact, charming rooms, each with splendid views over Portobello Road. Nice, eclectic touches, from record players with a curated vinyl selection to retro furniture and a very well-stocked minibar, pack the rooms. Downstairs, there are two restaurants and a cocktail bar, as well as the hotel's very own Ginstitute that offers three-hour gin-making courses at £120 per person.
