Novotel London Paddington, West London

• Stay a while: Situated a stone’s throw from some of London’s top landmarks, Novotel London Paddington is a great base for exploring. Return from long days in the capital to super-comfy beds, en suite bath or shower rooms, superfast Wi-Fi and tea and coffee making facilities. Plus, there’s everything on site that you could possibly need during your stay.

• Amenities on site: Whether you’re enjoying a short break in the capital or staying for just a night before heading off somewhere else, the hotel’s indoor swimming pool is the perfect place to relax. Take a refreshing dip or head to the on-site gym to work out on the cardio and weights machines, followed by a spell in the sauna and Turkish steam bath.

• Gourmet dining: You don’t even need to leave the hotel to enjoy London’s great dining scene: the hotel’s restaurant, No. 3, has a vibrant and beautifully appointed dining room and serves a varied menu of international dishes, from classic club sandwiches to lamb cutlets with ratatouille and indulgent puddings. The bar offers an array of beers, wines and cocktails, while breakfasts are a reliable mix of continental favourites and hot options.
