Great Value
You can tell trendy architects own this sexy little townhouse hotel right away: The lobby/lounge of the Rockwell has Victorian tile floors, open fire, mod couches, and trendy wallpaper. The 40 rooms have contemporary interiors and thoughtful layouts (necessary in the smaller ones, but upgrades cost only £10-£30),… more air conditioning, free internet, Egyptian cotton sheets, satellite flatscreen TVs, oak closets, and sleek bathrooms with robes. A chic bistro, bar, and courtyard - plus 24-hour room service - are nice bonuses. The hotel is located in central London's Kensington area and just a short hop to the Earls Court tube.
