For years I have been told that the Westbourne Hotel was the place to stay. A cosy hotel tucked away in Notting Hill, filled with rock royalty and other glamorous scenesters. So with a five star makeover, a new name (Guesthouse West) and help from people like Charlie McVeigh (Woody's) and Alastair Little (Tavola), this was sure to be a winner. |

Or so you would have thought? The one thing that's interesting here is that the rooms are for sale (buy-to-let) and judging by the fact that there are only three left, it seems like they're onto something. Other than that, the only reason I could see staying here is if you were after a place with four walls and a bouncing bed. Cheap it is, chic it isn't. But it's still early days for G-H-W. The location is great and with the soon-to-launch terrace and an atmosphere change, things could definitely still turn around. |
