The Blakes is among my favorite Hotels in London, probably it is not as glamorous as the Claridges, but in my opinion it is better. The rooms are small, hence I strongly suggest the Junior Suites. The decor is "perfect" and the service is excellent, you really feel at home!

Blakes is an original boutique hotel located in south Kensington and Chelsea close to shopping streets like Fulham Road and King's Road. Behind its victorian façade you will discover unique interior design with many influences. They have succeed creating a very special atmosphere opposite to minimalism. Common spaces are lovely and richly decorated but rooms are the focus in this... More

I work in the travel industry and was totally taken by surprise with this wonderful hotel which I had never heard of previously. The only negative point I can make is that we never stumbled on it earlier....otherwise this would of been our first port of call. The staff are so pleasant and are willing to go the extra mile....

To be clear, I am reviewing this hotel in the category of 'boutique' which is how it describes itself. I have stayed in 11 or 12 Mr and Mrs Smith hotels and this was the one was unfortunately a significant disappointment in it's class The good: Staff were pleasant although by no means anything above averagely good at their jobs...
