Set within an elegant art deco mansion, this opulent apartment harks back to the Roaring Twenties. With its stunning parquet floor, beautiful glass panelled doors and gorgeous artwork, the open-plan sitting and dining room is both dynamic and relaxing at the same time. It's equally at ease hosting cocktail parties as kicking back with the Sunday papers in your slippers. Alternatively, pick a book off the well-stocked shelves before nestling into a comfy armchair, where you can while away a couple of hours reading by the natural light that streams in through the sash windows. The kitchen is sleek and contemporary, but it perfectly complements the living area next door. When dinner is ready, the dining table can comfortably accommodate four people for an intimate supper. At the end of the day, slip into the rolltop bath in the master en-suite before cosying up in the king-size double for a sophisticated night's sleep. You've also got a retro double room with bright pops of colour and an equally vibrant purple bathroom. Step outside, and it's a short two-minute stroll from Holland Park's peacocks and Kyoto Garden and under a mile to Kensington Gardens. Shop designer labels along Kensington High Street,... or search out hidden gems among the independent boutiques in Notting Hill. Marvel at design classics at the V&A, or catch a performance at the Royal Albert Hall. And when you want to explore further afield, the tube will whisk you off to Oxford Circus in under twenty minutes. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Local guide
About Holland Park
Filled with mews streets, stucco mansions and green spaces, Holland Park is an idyllic neighbourhood sandwiched between Notting Hill, Kensington and Shepherd's Bush. Holland Park itself is one of London's most picturesque green spaces with a rich history. Today, the park boasts an open-air theatre and opera, Japanese-style Kyoto Gardens and a family playground. For dining, try Julie's and The Belvedere, and for a refreshing pint or aperol spritz, the Mitre and The Ladbroke Arms are a couple of great, classic British pubs in the area.
