LONDON, UK – Located next to Paddington Station, the iconic heritage hotel, Hilton London Paddington, stands proud as London’s best-connected hotel. With its national and global transport links, the hotel welcomes national and global travellers to the vibrant of London all year round, whether for business stays, city breaks or festive escapes.
Perfectly poised at the crossroads of London’s transport network, Hilton London Paddington stands as a landmark of connection. Directly linked to Paddington Station by a footbridge, it offers immediate access to national rail services to the north and south. With five London Underground lines on its doorstep, and just 15 minutes from London Heathrow Airport via the Heathrow Express, the hotel provides unrivalled connectivity.
Formerly the Great Western Royal Hotel, the hotel has long been defined by its heritage and unrivalled connectivity. This rich history and character is woven throughout from the Brunel’s original stucco-fronted facade adorned with John Thomas’ central pediment, to curated railway photography displayed throughout, to the recent addition of Catherine Lovegrove’s ‘Platform 1’ mural along the main staircase that depicts the iconic age of steam travel.
Honouring the hotel’s established connection to transportation, each of the 20 meeting rooms and event spaces are named in reference to 170 years of railway heritage, from the grand ballrooms Great Western I and Great Western II to the Thunderbolt and Hotspur meeting rooms. Hilton London Paddington’s amenities make the hotel a go-to destination for global business travellers.
A perfect interlude before exploring London or setting off for further travel, the aptly named Carriages restaurant and 146 Paddington bar and lounge, at the mouth of the Elizabeth line, invite guests to enjoy seasonal dining and expertly crafted cocktails. Curated by Head Chef Naged Omari, the menu is refreshed throughout the year to showcase the season’s offerings, while the experienced bar team reflect the same attention to detail and service with an aligned seasonal cocktail menu.
‘Inspired by the journeys that once departed Paddington, we invite you on a culinary voyage through London’s heritage – a meeting of classic flavours, worldly influence, and seasonal sustainability.’ – Head Chef Naged Omari
Building on the hotel’s prestigious reputation and proud legacy, Hilton London Paddington continues to enhance the guest experience for its global travellers with its highly anticipated multi-million pound renovation. With completion due early 2026, the hotel’s left wing will be thoughtfully restored and transformed, introducing beautifully reimagined suites that blend modern luxury with the charm and craftsmanship of the iconic Grade II listed hotel.
