55 by Le Mirage

55 by Le Mirage Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to 55 by Le Mirage on Prince’s Square, you immediately get that feeling you’ve stumbled onto something special. This four-star boutique property sits in one of those perfectly preserved Georgian terraces that makes London so charming — you know, the kind with those elegant white facades and black iron railings that look like they belong in a period drama. The entrance is understated but polished, which honestly sets the tone for the whole experience.

The Bayswater Advantage

Here’s what I love about this location — you’re in Bayswater, which means you get all the benefits of being central without the chaos of Oxford Street or Piccadilly. Hyde Park is literally a two-minute walk away, and I mean that quite literally. You can grab your morning coffee and be sitting by the Serpentine before most tourists have even figured out the Tube map. Lancaster Gate station is right there too, so getting anywhere in London is actually pretty straightforward. The area has this lovely residential feel during the day, but there are plenty of cafés and pubs within walking distance when you want to venture out.

The Room Experience

The rooms here strike that perfect balance between modern comfort and classic London charm. Each room feels thoughtfully designed rather than cookie-cutter corporate — you’ll find quality linens, well-placed lighting, and those little touches that show someone actually cares about the guest experience. The bathrooms are compact but efficient (this is London, after all), and the Wi-Fi actually works properly, which you’d be surprised how often that’s not the case in older buildings. What really impressed me was how quiet everything stays, even though you’re in the heart of the city.

Morning Fuel

The breakfast setup here is one of those pleasant surprises that can make or break a hotel stay. They do both continental and buffet options, and honestly, the quality is well above what you’d expect for a mid-range property. Fresh pastries, proper coffee, and enough variety to keep you happy whether you’re rushing off to meetings or planning a leisurely day of sightseeing. The breakfast room has these lovely tall windows that let in tons of natural light — it’s actually a really nice way to ease into your London morning.

Why Guests Love It

You know what really sets this place apart? It’s that sweet spot where everything just works without any fuss. The staff genuinely seem to care about making your stay smooth, the location gives you easy access to everything London has to offer, and the whole experience feels more personal than what you’d get at a big chain hotel. Couples especially seem to appreciate the romantic vibe of the neighborhood — there’s something about those tree-lined squares and garden terraces that just feels quintessentially London. With recent guests rating the location 9.3 out of 10, it’s clear that 55 by Le Mirage has figured out that sometimes the best experience is simply being in exactly the right place.
