La Suite West – Hyde Park
Minimalist Wabi-sabi boutique — warm natural tones layered over the original Hempel-era black-and-white bones. Calm, serene, deliberately unhurried. Strong design credentials without being pretentious about it.

Why It Matters
Carries the design DNA of Anouska Hempel — architect of both Blakes and the original Hempel hotel — now reinterpreted through a Wabi-sabi lens. The private landscaped garden terrace is genuinely rare for a London boutique hotel of this size. Strong dog-friendly credentials with specially appointed pet rooms and terrace access.
Designed by Anouska Hempel — the creative force behind Blakes Hotel in Kensington — La Suite West started life as a stark black-and-white minimalist statement and has since evolved. The current interior leans into Japanese Wabi-sabi philosophy: natural materials, organic forms, intimate lighting, and air-cleansing plants threading through 79 rooms spread across several merged Georgian townhouses on a quiet, tree-lined Bayswater street. Hyde Park is literally steps away.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Family Room
Junior Suites configured for families. Accommodates two adults and two children under 12 — the sofa converts to a double bed for kids, and cots are available for babies. Children under 12 eat breakfast at 50% of the full cost. Environmental activity books and games are provided for younger guests.
Double
Junior Suite
The top of the range and the most interesting rooms in the building. At 20–28 sqm (average 26 sqm), they have a sofa and dining area, large marble bathrooms with heated floors, and full shower or bath-and-shower combo. A number of Junior Suites open directly onto the private garden terrace with their own gated patio — effectively a private townhouse entrance. The sofa converts to a child's bed for under-12s, making these the go-to for families too.
Double · 26 sqm
Long Stay Room
Not a separate room category per se — long stays are accommodated in Superior Doubles or Junior Suites with dedicated desk workspace, lounge and dining areas, and kitchenettes. The hotel offers 24/7 booking and guest support for extended stays. Direct booking includes complimentary breakfast throughout.
Double
Petite Double
The most compact — and most affordable — room type at the hotel. Located on the lower ground floor, so don't expect a great view. But they are perfectly formed: queen bed, marble bathroom, kitchenette with Nespresso and fridge, and the same Naturals REMEDIES organic amenities as every other room. Good for solo travelers or couples who plan to be out most of the day.
Queen · 15 sqm
Superior Double & Twin
The mid-tier option — Queen size bed, marble bathroom, kitchenette, and hand-crafted decorative pieces. Sizes vary significantly (13–27 sqm) due to the Georgian townhouse layout, so the largest Superiors are genuinely comfortable. Twin configurations are available. A good all-rounder for most stays.
