Discover the best of the west from your stylish base, situated within an ornate five-storey Victorian terrace. Your room is decked out in natural materials and earth tones to ground you in the concrete jungle. Two comfortable beds provide you with the best chance of an unbroken night's sleep, though light sleepers may want to pack some earplugs to block out the street noise below. Despite the lack of kitchen facilities, the bustling Edgeware Road location places you within a short stroll of your usual invigorating morning shot of caffeine and fresh pastries, as well as a host of world cuisine options. However, the area is perhaps best known for its Middle Eastern influence, easily identified by the intoxicating scent of shisha smoke and wood-fired barbecue. The green expanse of Hyde Park is just a short walk away if you fancy a contemplative moment in nature, with upmarket boutiques and fine dining on offer in ritzy Mayfair. In contrast, neighbouring Soho offers a more casual and fun-filled vibe. For adventures in other sections of the city, nearby Edgware Road station will see you exploring Kings Cross or Trafalgar Square in under twenty minutes.
