“Six Georgian townhouses have been converted into a design-focused sanctuary in London's Paddington. The interiors are Scandi-inspired - think oak floors, soft linens, and calming muted tones. A peaceful library lounge, wellness areas, and a cosy café keep things relaxed. A tranquil urban escape.”

Hotel review

Five minutes from Paddington Station, Inhabit Southwick Street immediately announces its wellness credentials. Muted grey-green and blue hues, Scandi-style furnishings, and thoughtful details point to mindful living, from the books lining the shelves to the meditation pod in the hallway. This is a hotel designed to give brain, body (and planet) a rest, marred only by the fact that street noise might be a problem for sensitive sleepers (this is still central London). Alert kind staff beforehand, and request a room on a higher floor.

The eco-friendly approach runs deep - B Corp certification, bamboo toilet paper, and bed linens changed only on request. No frills rooms (and bathrooms) are on the small side, but do have spoiling Skandinavisk toiletries that complement your aromatherapy diffuser and mood lamp. There are even wooden boxes in which to lock your phone away. When it’s time to snooze yourself, do leaf through a booklet offering bedtime routines and jet lag tips. If you’re feeling wired, heed the neighbourhood guide pointing to Beau Green cafe or candlelit Pearl Liang for cocktails.

Book wellness sessions in advance - the private sauna runs small, intimate slots, while vinyasa flow classes pair well with post-yoga salt room visits. You might try the 24-hour gym, infrared sauna, meditation pod, and a GAIA treatment (think raindrop therapy with essential oils). Afterwards, fuel up in the Yeotown kitchen space with a casual meal, nourishing snack, quality coffee, or cold-pressed juice. A library corner stocks design hardbacks and classics for those preferring analogue entertainment.

Ten minutes by tube to Oxford Street, fifteen to Buckingham Palace - once recharged, London's attractions beckon.
