When staying in London, particularly if you’re visiting for the first
time, one of the most important decisions you make could be one that is made
long before you actually get there – namely the location of your accommodation.
It may well be that you’re travelling to London with a specific destination in
mind – perhaps a business meeting in the City, or a reunion with friends and
family who live south of the river – in which case you’ll want to stay somewhere
close to the actual place that you’ll be visiting. In the vast majority of
cases, however, people travel to London with a much more open mind, determined
to explore and take advantage of as much of what’s on offer as possible,
perhaps after enjoying a one-off event such as a West End show or a sporting
occasion.
For the average tourist, then, the key to the best accommodation is that
it sits in a central location and allows easy access to the transport required
to travel around the rest of the city. Hotels in Hyde Park meet these criteria
with ease, as well as being within short walking distance of some of the finest
local attractions, so the key choice remaining to visitors is to choose a hotel
which offers the best combination of value for money, comfort and a warm and
welcoming environment.
The Park Grand, London Hyde Park is just around the
corner from Paddington train station, making it a convenient destination from
the whole of the UK and even, via the high speed rail link from Heathrow
airport, from the rest of the world. In terms of scale it most resembles a
bespoke boutique hotel, but it offers the luxury and service standards of a
larger concern, with staff on hand and always willing to help when it comes to
planning how to get the best out of your stay in London. The rooms are
stylishly furnished and equipped with everything needed to make your stay
comfortable, from free WIFI and a plasma screen television to an en suite
bathroom and views towards St James Church in the east and vibrantly cosmopolitan
Notting Hill to the west.
As well as being within easy walking distance of Paddington station, the
hotel is close to several tube stations, making it the perfect base from which
to travel around the rest of the city. The website www.parkgrandhydepark.co.uk gives
a flavour of what the hotel offers, whilst also allowing guests to choose and
book their room.
Whilst many guests will be tempted to access the underground lines and
tour far and wide across the city, the truth is that this location also boasts
a plethora of places well worth visiting which are no further than a very short
walk away. One such example is Kensington Gardens.
Although London is a vast 21st
century world city constantly alive with the noise and excitement of
metropolitan life, it also offers quiet corners of tranquillity and relaxation,
and the gardens at Kensington are emblematic of this. Positioned adjacent to
Hyde Park, the gardens offer a respite in the form of ornamental Italian
Gardens and the art work on show in the Serpentine Gallery.
