The Portman Viscount

With an ideal location between two of London’s most iconic green spaces – Hyde Park and Regent’s Park – this stylish home puts you within easy reach of the city’s most exciting, central sights while also providing a wonderfully comfortable stay.

Laid out over two floors, the lower level is where you’ll find the welcoming living space with its large window and chic sofas that beckon luxurious lounging after a day of touring the city. We love the touches of grandeur here – from the wood floors to the ornately framed pictures on the walls – a vibe that’s continued into the dining room with its elaborate mirrors and chic table inviting celebratory meals.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are pared-back spaces that have been curated with a restful night’s sleep in mind, and we’re particularly fond of the main bedroom’s private balcony – the ideal spot to begin mornings over coffee or end the day with a nightcap.

When it comes to sightseeing nearby, you’re spoilt for choice. Take an afternoon stroll through Hyde Park or Regent’s Park (both a thirteen-minute walk), treat yourself to some retail therapy along Oxford Street (a fourteen-minute walk), explore Soho’s vibrant bars (a twenty-minute walk) and catch a dazzling show in a West End theatre (a thirty-minute walk).
