Cult Indian Restaurant Dishoom Has Launched a Two-Suite Hotel in Notting Hill That's a Love Letter to Bombay's Culture

An ochre and wood-tinted hotel room features vibrant, upholstered armchairs and sofas with summery motifs, marble-topped coffee tables, and orante lamps, curtains, and artwork, along with thriving plants.

Almost every Londoner I ask about their favorite Indian restaurant in town ends up giving me the same answer: Dishoom. It's fair to say that this eatery has captured the collective imagination with co-founders Shamil and Kavi Thakrar's contagiously uplifting, mouthwatering reinterpretation of Indian street food, which, since the launch of their first restaurant in Covent Garden in 2010, has earned the two and their 1,800-person team an unyielding cult following, leading to a total of over a dozen locations across the UK.

Now, picture Dishoom within a first-of-its-kind boutique stay format brought to life by soulful design, hospitality, and artistry. You've got a recipe for success, and a new contender for a mention in our shortlist of the best hotels in London.
