I saw one of the cocktails in a milk bottle.

While there was an interesting effort to draw on the Caribbean roots of post-war Notting Hill and its famous carnival, the overall design feels artificial due to some poorly executed details. Specifically, the "fake distress" of much of the furniture gives the impression of cheapness rather than authenticity. It's surprising that with the likely substantial budgets of hotel "brands," they still miss the mark despite good intentions. In the end, this spacious lounge and bar seems like a missed opportunity to attract locals and become a popular hub in Notting Hill. By refining their approach, they could potentially win over both hotel guests and neighborhood residents, transforming it into a must-visit destination. Hopefully, they will make adjustments to avoid leaving the area with a large, uninviting, brightly lit space.

We had a blackberry mojito and a pornstar martini(both good but not exceptional). The staff was friendly but a bit inexperienced. I would go again.
