Hilton London Hyde Park  

On Bayswater Road at the corner of Queensway, this Grade II–listed Edwardian townhouse looks out over Hyde Park and the entrance to Kensington Palace. Two Tube stations (Queensway and Bayswater) put Oxford Street, Portobello Road Market and Harrods within about 20 minutes—family-friendly and perfect for sightseeing.

A red terracotta-clad, early 20th-century building with a classic-yet-modern vibe. Guest rooms blend traditional style with contemporary touches and include air conditioning, TV, coffee maker, work desk and hairdryer; many rooms offer park views and a warm, homely atmosphere.

24-hour reception, Library Lounge, on-site restaurant, lounge bar and a breakfast buffet. Concierge, tour desk, laundry and safety-deposit boxes make stays easy. Children up to 18 stay free with existing bedding (room-only rates) and kids 12 and under enjoy complimentary buffet breakfast. Wake up to Hyde Park mornings just outside the door.

A meeting room for up to 30 guests and conference facilities, plus high-speed internet throughout and in-room desks for working on the go.

Relaxed fare in the Library Lounge, a hotel restaurant and a lively bar serve breakfast, coffee and casual meals. Bayswater’s international culinary scene and nearby Kensington markets add plenty of local flavor for adventurous eaters.
