It all starts with an invitingly elegant brushed steel button by the front entrance. Press it, the automatic glass door opens and suddenly you’re in a time tardis. Not at all what you anticipated. Not Edwardian, nor Victorian, as the exterior might suggest. No, not an aspidistra flying anywhere. Instead a cool, contemporary, considered interior, designed for today. Everywhere is clean lines, carefully chosen furnishings, natural materials, striking modern canvases and space to relax. Sure, it"s an Ealing hotel, but it"s a world away from what you"d expect from a boutique hotel in London"s suburbs. Yes, Hotel 55 is quite a number… You"ll find Hotel 55 delightfully accommodating. All of its 26 contemporary, air–conditioned bedrooms are fully en–suite and superbly appointed – with flat screen TVs,and free wi-fi. Each has a safe for valuables, direct dial telephone and tea and coffee making facilities. Complimentary bottles of still water provided in each room. Here, you can fall asleep in comfort, on an orthopedic mattress, between high quality Egyptian cotton sheets, and wake up to a refreshing power shower enhanced by complimentary Crabtree & Evelyn toiletries, followed by breakfast in the elegant conservatory.
