Beaverbrook Town House, London

In short…  Beaverbrook Town House is a charming-meets-chic-meets-cozy hotel in the heart of Chelsea

The vibe… With just 14 rooms across two Georgian townhouses, Beaverbrook Town House feels intimate, but not small or overly tight, which we loved. It doesn’t have the grandness of some of the bigger city hotels, or the casualness of some of the other “cool” spots. Checking in took place in what had previously been the living room, and there was a bottle of whisky and crystal glasses set out for guests to help themselves after a long journey, or maybe just a nightcap. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re in London for work and need to have meetings at your hotel—the staff is easygoing, and feels like it’s your own place. 

The rooms… Our room was quite generous in size, and had great light. The design is very cheery—bright and sophisticated—and has a theater theme, with rooms named after London theaters and posters decorating the walls, without feeling like too much. 

The food… We had lunch at their Fuji Grill, which was beautiful (lots of glossy paint in colors I took pics of just for future design inspiration), and the Japanese bento box was delicious. We didn’t go for the omakase because we were short on time, but our friends who live in London say they go just for the restaurant. The bar is also a place I’d meet friends for a drink, even if I wasn’t staying there.
