About The Laslett
- Tracy Lowy, who grew up in Notting Hill, opened it through her group Living Rooms in October 2015, after an August soft opening. Tom Bartlett, also from the neighbourhood, designed the rooms.
- Before that it was the Hillgate Hotel, run as serviced apartments. The conversion cut 59 studios down to 51 bedrooms across the five listed houses.
- When it was new, Sally Clarke supplied the baking from her restaurant a short walk away, and the rooms kept a shelf of Penguin paperbacks.
- Entry-level rooms start at 172 sq ft (16 m²).
