La Trattoria by Alfred Russo – With leather chairs and striped wallpaper, the restaurant has the air of a relaxed gentleman’s club. Start the day in style with Champagne and Eggs Royale, or return later for Chef Alfred Russo’s signature sharing plates of Italian favorites, including rigatoni with pork and pecorino, warm octopus and potato salad, and roast suckling lamb with herbs. Leave room for tiramisu, panna cotta, or a scoop or two of homemade gelato.

We couldn’t have been happier with our choice to stay at the Pelham. Location directly across from the tube and surrounding cafes and restaurants, everything was nearby. Staff were excellent, restaurant service and food was great. Shout out to Joseph, but really must say all the staff were excellent

The entire staff bent over backwards to be sure I had a perfect visit. I especially appreciated the help from the front staff, Reaz, Aswathy, Ephraim and Gabriel. This was a bucket list solo trip and I felt welcome, safe and enjoyed every minute.
Great stay at The Pelham

My husband and I spent 4 nights at The Pelham. Everything from the minute we entered was wonderful. Our King suite was absolutely stunning. The hotel is half a block from the train station, surrounded by lots of little shops and restaurants. We had a wonderful breakfast each morning . The service from the front door to the room service was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Pelham and would definitely recommend to everyone.
The Pelham was the perfect choice for our weeklong vacation!

Cute boutique hotel with hospitable and friendly staff! Greeted by Gabriel who helped us with our bags, showed us the room, and made reservations for us. The breakfast in the mornings was lovely and the service was great. Great location across from the Underground Station, coffee shops, gelato, and nice restaurants!
