Colonnade Review

Each room is different in this lovely town house near a canal filled with colorful narrow boats in the Little Venice neighborhood—some are split-level or have balconies and all are filled with rich brocades, velvets, and antiques. The 1920s elevator and the Wedgwood fireplace in the lobby add to the historic style of the place, as does the Freud suite (Sigmund visited regularly in 1938), and the attitude of the staff lends a cozy air (the hotel cat is listed as "guest relations manager" on the website).
