A perfect blend of fashion and function, this Victorian residence makes central London feel like home as you step off leafy Norfolk Square to find original cornicing, burnt orange walls, and a grand white fireplace. So close to the Paddington station that no taxi is necessary, the hotel feels like a secret only a handful of seasoned globetrotters are in on. Quietly imaginative decor would appeal to their exoticism, all luxury fabrics and dark woods (something rare: even the little gymnasium’s machines are decked out in mahogany). A warm welcome, plus homely touches like newspapers stacked on tabletops, create a feeling of staying with elegant friends. Friends who prefer to go out for dinner, no formal restaurant here. Excellent cocktails in the cosy Pondicherry bar, and waking up to a delicious Gallic buffet breakfast, more than make up for this. Single travellers looking to crash out in chic surroundings will love the novel, boat-like ‘Cabin’ rooms that cleverly make use of the hotel’s smaller spaces. If you’re planning a longer stay, or a whimsical trip for two, plump for the Grand Norfolk Suite, with its charming French windows and grand high ceiling.
