For this list, we’re looking at some of the most interesting, unique, beautiful or eye-catching boutique hotels that you should consider booking next time you stay in England’s wondrous capital. Park Grand London Lancaster Gate With the catchphrase “it’s boutique… it’s unique”, Park Grand London Lancaster Gate wears its identity as a boutique hotel like a badge of honor. Located in Central London near both Lancaster Gate and Paddington stations, it’s the perfect launchpad and home base for your time in this historic city. But it’s more than a good location. Inside you’ll find stylish rooms that are both elegant and comfortable while still feeling very much representative of the destination in which you find yourself. Also, though it might not be included in the price of your stay, you should absolutely try their afternoon tea, which guests consistently rave about. Whether you go for the traditional tea, or their champagne or chocolate options, it’s sure to make for an experience you won’t soon forget. Hotel 41 Sleeping in Buckingham Palace might not be an option for the average traveler, but this boutique hotel brings you just about as close as you can get without drawing the attention of the guards. Hotel 41 is located just behind Buckingham Palace, opposite the Royal Mews. The rooms here are exceedingly comfortable and Instagram-ready, boasting design that perfectly balances functionality and beauty. The common areas, coupled with the attentive service, will similarly have you feeling like you’ve joined an exclusive London club. And did we mention the free snacks? We’re not talking about your run-of-the-mill continental breakfast; Hotel 41 stands out from the crowd by offering complimentary gourmet treats for you to munch on throughout your stay, including but not limited to, ice cream, chocolates, nuts, dried fruit and, in the evening, various canapés. Town Hall Hotel & Apartments Searching for a place to stay in London that really honors the history of the city? Look no further than this establishment. Before getting a grand facelift, this stunning Edwardian building served as, well a Town Hall in London’s East End for roughly 80 years. Now, you’ll find a unique blend of architecture, the beautiful features from its past interwoven with contemporary elements to make for a truly one of a kind stay. You’ll find no cookie-cutter, interchangeable rooms in the Town Hall Hotel; each space has its own unique touches, which adds to the appeal for repeat visits. For any film buffs out there, you might be interested to know that, before the renovations, the building was used in any number of popular British films. The Egerton House Hotel Nothing says “welcome to your home away from home” quite like a drink upon arrival, and that’s how the good people at Egerton House greet their guests. Despite the odds, the experience somehow only gets better from there. A boutique establishment in the truest sense, Egerton House is home to just 28 rooms, and each and every guest is treated with extreme care and attention; the hotel has won awards for its service. Of course, no one travels to London to spend all their time in their hotel room, regardless of how comfortable and tempting it might be. And at Egerton House, you find yourself in the very heart of London, in Knightsbridge, within easy walking distance of many of the major sights and attractions. The Laslett London is a city with a rich literary history and the Laslett leans into this legacy with adorable little stacks on Penguin classic books in each room. It’s a minor touch -one that many guests perhaps won’t even notice- but that’s what makes the Laslett stand out from the crowd: attention to detail. Occupying five Victorian townhouses, this 51-room boutique hotel is beautifully designed. Everything on the grounds and in the buildings has been carefully selected to help cultivate an aura of classy bohemian British comfort, from the gorgeous designer furniture to the works of art (many made by local artists) which adorn the walls. People also rave about the common areas in the lobby. Essentially, if you’re looking to stay in the Notting Hill area, you really couldn’t ask for better digs than those offered by the Laslett. Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites and Residences Situated close to Big Ben and Trafalgar Square, the location of Taj 51 Buckingham Palace is just about as ideal as a visitor to the Big Smoke can find. A five-star institution, Taj 51 is all about the finer things in life, and that shows in the decor, as well as the in-house restaurants. Of the three, Quilon, a Michelin-starred Indian restaurant from Chef Sriram Aylur, is arguably the most enticing - especially for food-focused travelers. Of course, those who like to do their own cooking will also feel at home at this establishment, as, a relative rarity amongst boutique hotels, the rooms at Taj 51 have their own kitchen. It’s truly a home away from home. And according to their website, the building once served as “the home of Lords and Ladies of the Royal Court”. Now doesn’t that sound like the sort of place you want to stay on holiday? Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites and Residences 45 Park Lane Part of the illustrious Dorchester Collection of hotels, 45 Park Lane is more than just a nice place to stay while traveling - it’s an experience in its own right. The art deco design makes it something of a rarity in the city; you’ll feel as if you’ve traveled back in time to the roaring ‘20s. But it’s the extremely personalized concierge service that ensures a guest experience that will really stick with you. Each guest is assigned a “host” to look after their needs upon arrival, who serves as “butler, concierge and… personal assistant”, as well as a bank of knowledge to help you get the most out of your time in the city. Also, be sure to check out the hotel’s critically-acclaimed restaurant, CUT. Nestled into the very heart of London, 45 Park Lane is a perfect home base to explore the city. Flemings Mayfair True to their boutique status, Flemings Mayfair endeavors to keep the experience a personal one by guaranteeing guests that they will always get the best price by contacting the hotel directly rather than going through a booking site. There is no shortage of attractive boutique hotels in London, but the design and decor of the Flemings Mayfair will make you ache; it’s as if you’ve stepped into a Wes Anderson movie. The building dates back to 1730 and first became a hotel in the 1850s, making Flemings Mayfair the second oldest hotel in the city, and a true gem for any traveler with a love of all things historical. Just a stone’s throw away from Buckingham Palace, Green Park and the shopping of New Bond Street, Flemings Mayfair is always a good choice.
