The Portobello Hotel Review
One of London's quirkiest hotels, the little Portobello (formed from two adjoining Victorian houses) is seriously hip, attracting scores of celebrities to its small but stylish rooms that are decorated with joyous abandon. You're likely to be surrounded by an assortment of antiques (including a royal four-poster bed from Hampton Court in Room 13), luxurious fabrics, statues, and bizarre bric-a-brac, such as the extraordinary Victorian "bathing machine" (in Room 16) that actor Johnny Depp is said to have once filled with champagne for former flame Kate Moss. Some rooms have balconies and claw-foot bathtubs.
