"A Paddington property that functions like a stylish neighborhood coffee shop—no visible front desk, online check-in, and an espresso-driven lobby—leading up to 73 compact rooms with intentionally retro details such as cast-iron radiators, parquet floors, and pull-chain toilets. Sustainability is a throughline in the design, which incorporates upcycled materials sourced from locations across the U.K., and the overall vibe is cozy, compact, and design-forward for short-stay travelers." - Nicholas DeRenzo
