Edward Lear Hotel

This popular hotel, situated a block from Marble Arch, is made all the more desirable by the bouquets of fresh flowers in its public rooms. It occupies a pair of brick town houses dating from 1780, one of which was the London home of 19th-century artist and poet Edward Lear, famous for his nonsense verse; his illustrated limericks adorn the walls of one of the sitting rooms. Steep stairs lead up to cozy rooms, which range from spacious to broom-closet size. Some recent guests have complained that the ongoing renovation has left the hotel a little scruffy -- it's worth checking that the work has finished by the time you stay.
