Live It Up in a Bayswater Hotel

Many tourists on their first trip to London have trouble deciding where to stay. This is a city full of neighbourhoods with historic names and world-renowned heritages. But how do you know whether Whitechapel, Stratford, Kensington or Westminster is right for you? The smart thing to do is to think about what you really need from a hotel, both in terms of creature comforts and location. What do you want to see in London and where is it? Do you prefer luxury or convenience? Do you want a complimentary breakfast each morning? (Of course you do.) These are important questions and the answers to them will help you refine your search to choose the perfect hotel.

Hotels in Bayswater tick many of these boxes. Bayswater is an area of Central London bordered by Hyde Park to the south. It’s one of the posher neighbourhoods in London, filled with beautiful Victorian houses that are home to the city’s upwardly mobile residents. It’s well-connected to any other part of London you can think of via tube stations and bus routes, as well as having a central location that makes it easy to get to from anywhere else. This is just one part of what makes it popular with tourists and visitors. The other part is its huge variety of hotels, from budget hostels to lavish five-star palaces — providing travellers from all walks of life with the hotel of their dreams.

From Bayswater you can easily access key London attractions like Oxford Street, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square, as well as parks like Hyde Park, Regents Park and Kensington Gardens. You’ll find it easy to get around London via the Tube from well-connected stations like Marble Arch, Paddington, Queensway and Edgware Road. From Heathrow, it’s an easy ride with only one train change. When you get back to your hotel at night, you know you’re in a safe area with no need to worry about walking alone in the dark.

One of the most popular hotels in Bayswater is the Grand Royale London, and it serves as an excellent example of the high standard of hotel you’re likely to find in this area. The beautiful exterior brings to mind the glamour of Victorian days, and indoors the illusion continues with sumptuous dark wood furnishings, squashy leather armchairs and a marble fireplace in the lounge. Fresh flowers stand around the reception area and antique paintings adorn the walls; everything combines to give you the feeling of a proper traditional English experience.

The restaurant downstairs provides every guest with a complimentary English or continental breakfast, served in a simple room that is flooded with sunshine each morning. The bar is a great place to put your feet up after a hard day of sightseeing and take in a live football match with a glass of real English ale or French wine.

Of course, the main thing on every traveller’s mind is the quality of the rooms, and here we can happily inform you that they are excellent quality. Simple and elegant, they combine historic charm with modern comforts. Each contains a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, an in-room safe, tea and coffee facilities, a telephone and high-speed internet access. Guests in the Club rooms or the sumptuous Lilly Langtry suite receive extra pampering gifts, including fruit and mineral water, plush bathrobes and slippers, a bottle of wine, chocolates and a daily newspaper.
