Fodor's Expert Review The Portobello Hotel
22 Stanley Gardens, London, Greater London, W11 2NG, England
One of London's quirkiest hotels, The Portobello (formed from two adjoining Victorian houses) has attracted scores of celebrities to its small but stylish rooms over the years, and the decor reflects these hip credentials with joyous abandon. Rooms are individually designed and range in size from "Box" rooms for the solo traveler to the 400 square-foot "Signature" rooms, replete with four-poster beds and views over the pretty garden. One room even contains an original Victorian "bathing machine" next to the bed—legend has it that Johnny Depp once filled it with champagne for his then-girlfriend Kate Moss.

- stylish and unique
- pets are allowed
- guests have use of nearby gym and pool
CONS
- all but the priciest rooms are quite small
