This weekend welcomes a new kids menu on the Terrace. Sourced from the finest organic ingredients, kids can choose from yummy home made chicken nuggets, beef burgers (£4.95) or pasta with a choice of pesto or bolognese sauce (£4.50).

Situated on Westbourne Grove, close to the popular shops on Westbourne Grove, Ledbury and Chepstow roads, the Terrace at Guesthouse West is the perfect place to escape the crowds and fill up those hungry tummies.

16th September 2005 - Introducing Guesthouse West;
A New Concept For the Noughties Traveller:
Cheap Chic B&B in the Heart of Notting Hill

Formally an Edwardian family home, Guesthouse West, in lively Notting Hill, is an up-to-date spin on the Great British Bed & Breakfast. Flexible, luxurious and personal, the hotel allows guests to live like locals of one of London’s most creative quarters. With its 20 rooms starting from just £145 per night + VAT including breakfast, Guesthouse West is a small but perfectly formed chic B&B for the noughties.

The brainchild of a small group of extensively travelled investors, Guesthouse West is a riposte to the fancy frills of traditional upmarket hotels with exorbitant price tags. Having stayed in grandiose hotels around the globe, the investors envisaged a contemporary B&B whose primary objective is to allow guests to become a local on arrival – quite literally a home from home – for the frequent traveller who has been there and done that. One price and one philosophy; to combine extreme comfort and accessibility at affordable prices.

The backbone of the concept is Guesthouse West’s alliances with local businesses, which provide guests with instant access to daily life in Notting Hill, facilitated by a single call to reception. On checking in to Guesthouse West, clients will be given a list of local businesses and services at their disposal during their stay. From a specially tailored personal shopping trip, in-room massage and beauty treatment, personal training session or a guided tour of London with your very own Bentley driver…. All services can be arranged with one call, to a member of the Guesthouse West team.

The rooms, though simple in design, offer everything required by a modern traveller. Elegant, understated and functional, the rooms are equipped with all mod cons, including a wireless network, flat panel television screens, digital TV, DVD players, air con and broadband. Complementing the mod cons are the practical comforts; fluffy white towels and amenities by Molton Brown.

The investors envisage that Guesthouse West will become a template for a number of future Guesthouse openings in key business cities worldwide.
