The Laslett, a new hotel by Living Rooms, opens summer 2015 with 51 bedrooms in London’s Notting Hill. The hotel is named after the organiser of the original Notting Hill Festival, which went on to become the Notting Hill Carnival.

The Laslett is spread across five Victorian mansions on Pembridge Gardens and will reflect the area’s vibrant cultural heritage. The ground floor of the Laslett will feature multifunctional space - part coffee shop, part bar-kitchen, part gallery, part concept store. The guest rooms and suites will combine modern furniture with personal quirks, such as well-thumbed books and curios from local antiques dealers, with photographs and artworks from local artists.

The Laslett is less than a minute from Notting Hill Gate underground station and a short walk from Portobello Road Market.

The Laslett It will be the fourth property from Living Rooms, a group which specialises in providing luxury hotel alternatives. Their other London locations are in Little Venice, Mayfair and Marylebone.
