Celeste Notting Hill Review | London's New Luxury Private Members' Club & Italian-American Restaurant
6 Aug 2026 · 3 min read
If you're searching for the best private members' club in Notting Hill or one of London's newest luxury dining destinations, Celeste Restaurant and Members Club deserves a place at the top of your list. As the latest addition to the Estelle Community, Celeste brings the group's signature blend of exceptional hospitality, world-class dining and understated luxury to one of London's most desirable neighbourhoods.
Located on the iconic Ledbury Road in the former Beach Blanket Babylon townhouse, Celeste has been thoughtfully reimagined as a vibrant neighbourhood destination. The ground floor welcomes both members and non-members with an elegant Italian-American restaurant, while the upper floors are reserved exclusively for members, offering beautifully designed lounges, a Tokyo-inspired listening bar, an izakaya-inspired members' restaurant and intimate private spaces for entertaining.
One of Celeste's greatest strengths is its ability to feel effortlessly luxurious. Rather than focusing on exclusivity alone, the club has created an atmosphere centred around genuine hospitality, community and exceptional service. The interiors are warm, sophisticated and residential in feel, making it equally suited to a relaxed breakfast, business lunch, evening cocktails or late-night conversations with friends.
The restaurant is already establishing itself as one of Notting Hill's best places to dine, serving an Italian-American menu inspired by California with seasonal ingredients, handmade pasta, beautifully executed seafood, premium meats and expertly crafted cocktails. Whether you're stopping in for coffee, lunch or dinner, the quality of both the food and service reflects the exceptionally high standards associated with the Estelle name.
Perhaps what makes Celeste most exciting is that it forms part of the rapidly expanding Estelle Community. Members have the opportunity to apply for Estelle Membership, which provides access across all three flagship properties:
- Maison Estelle – the iconic seven-storey private members' club in Mayfair.
- Celeste – the beautifully restored Notting Hill townhouse.
- Estelle Manor – the spectacular 85-acre Oxfordshire estate featuring luxury accommodation, multiple restaurants, the renowned Eynsham Baths spa, fitness facilities and wellness experiences.
This interconnected membership is one of the most compelling luxury lifestyle offerings currently available in the UK. Rather than joining a single members' club, members gain access to an evolving collection of exceptional hospitality destinations, exclusive events, cultural programming, wellness experiences and over 30 restaurants and bars across the three properties.
Beyond the beautiful surroundings, Celeste places a strong emphasis on building genuine community. Members enjoy a year-round calendar of cultural events, vinyl listening nights, comedy evenings, supper clubs, wellness activities and neighbourhood experiences, creating a club that feels alive every day rather than existing solely as a place to dine or drink.
For those seeking the best private members' clubs in London, luxury restaurants in Notting Hill, or an exclusive lifestyle membership that extends beyond a single venue, Celeste represents one of the city's most exciting new openings. It combines exceptional food, beautifully curated interiors, relaxed elegance and the unique advantage of belonging to the wider Estelle Community.
