La Suite West

Designed by the talented Anouska Hempel (the mastermind behind Amsterdam’s Dylan and London’s Blakes), La Suite West in Bayswater is a study in chic minimalism at a relatively low cost.

• Chic design on a budget
• Kitchenettes and mini-bars stocked with healthy juices in every room
• Partnership with nearby LA Fitness for guests who need a workout

Interiors feature a striking black-and-white color scheme, with touches of cobalt blue. Rooms come with small kitchenettes, as well as heated bathroom floors and an inspired mini-bar stocked with healthy drinks. Outside, an orchard of plane trees shades a lovely courtyard with tables where guests can enjoy afternoon tea or an aperitif. La Suite West is a great new option for travelers who crave affordable style. The location in Bayswater, near Hyde Park, is only okay. The hotel also has a partnership with the nearby spa at Space NK on Westbourne Park Grove, as well as the gym LA Fitness around the corner.

Travelers who want the look of Blakes on a smaller budget and like a residential neighborhood.
