Getting there

Opening times 

The venue is only a few minutes walk from Hyde Park and is a short walk from Lancaster Gate, Notting Hill and Paddington.

Overlooking the lush greenery of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, The Columbia is a beautifully eccentric slice of London history. Set within five grand Grade II-listed Victorian townhouses, the hotel is famous for its "faded grandeur" and a rock-and-roll pedigree that has seen everyone from Oasis and Amy Winehouse to Iggy Pop grace its hallways. It proudly leans into its heritage, maintaining a delightful 1970s aesthetic—complete with its legendary original avocado-green bathrooms—that offers a nostalgic, soulful alternative to the city's more sterile modern hotels. With high ceilings, light-filled rooms, and a welcoming, family-run atmosphere, it remains a beloved sanctuary for artists, musicians, and travelers who value character and a prime West London location over sleek minimalism.
