Style Notes
Modern British. These stylish serviced apartments in Maida Vale have an understated elegance punctuated by one-off design pieces by Tom Dixon and Mark Brazier Jones. The one-bedroom apartment overlooks an award-winning 3-acre communal garden, the real jewel in the crown of this property. With a sleek color palette, floral prints and vases of flowers, the sun-filled apartments are breezy and welcoming. Elegant wood flooring makes the 2-bedroom apartment feel like a chic home from home. The standout apartment, the penthouse suite, has design pieces including a Pierre Vandel coffee table, cushions by Tracey Boyd and vintage trunk side tables. We love the views from the penthouse roof terrace, the great location and the thoughtful family perks.
