Embracing our locale steps away from Paddington Station, the Hotel Indigo® London - Paddington offers fast connections to Heathrow airport. We offer you a haven in the heart of our pulsing city, with giant murals of London landmarks and bright pops of color adorning our boutique hotel’s bespoke rooms. Let us soothe you with rainfall showers and luxe toiletries, or time on our terrace with a coffee or cocktail in hand. Superfast WiFi will connect you with reality in seconds.
Paddington Station’s industrial legacy and acres of manicured parks are just outside, begging to be explored. At night, plump for a supper of beer-battered fish 'n' chips in London Street Brasserie, the perfect pre-theatre pit stop, before checking out a West End musical or losing yourself in the hip bars of Soho.
Our state of the art fitness suite is open 24 hours a day and is complimentary for all our hotel guests. The Fitness Studio features universal weight machines, treadmills, cycles and more. Work-out towels are also provided
On-Site Fitness Center Available
Paddington expanded fast during the Industrial Revolution, after the station opened in 1854 to bring factory workers into the city amid smoke and coal fumes. Its ornate glass and wrought-iron roof spans, under which tens of thousands of people from around the world pass daily, influenced the bespoke artwork in our rooms.
These days, coal has been traded for culture. Around our hotel, elegant Royal parks are active community hubs, where you can wander past neat flower beds to art galleries and cafés, or enjoy rock concerts and Christmas markets. As you head towards the West End, theatres and opera houses abound. Here world-renowned performers tread the boards. Meanwhile, our area’s multiculturalism is mirrored in the gourmet food served in our neighborhood’s many outstanding restaurants.
Millions of people, and one fictitious Peruvian namesake bear, have passed through the halls of Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s wrought-iron terminus. Paddington Bear still hangs out there in statue form. Behind the station is the restaurant-lined Basin, with paths lined with barges leading to Regent's Canal and tranquil Little Venice.
More Jekyll than Hyde, our closest major park is London’s most dynamic, its dappled acres anchored by The Serpentine lake. Here you’ll encounter locals walking their dogs, jogging and picnicking. Major events transform the park, so look out for madcap debates at Speakers’ Corner on Sunday, see big-name gigs and enjoy the Christmas markets.
Adjoining Hyde Park are the wide, plane tree-shaded avenues of our most sophisticated park. The Serpentine Gallery enlivens the gardens with exhibitions of performance and contemporary art. The Albert Memorial adds a touch of royal Victorian history. Stroll past ornate fountains and manicured gardens to stately Kensington Palace.
Huge in size, Regent’s Park is by turns wild and tamed. Wander past fields of tall grass abutting topiary-lined garden avenues to the world-famous zoo and open-air theatre. Fancy a stroll? Follow the blue ribbon of Regent’s Canal north from Paddington to walk up Primrose Hill for spectacular views over rooftops to city skyscrapers.
Part of the London tradition of cramming small fringe theatres into rooms above a pub, Canal Café does so with panache. The intimate venue’s low-lit table seating fronts a stage that hosts comedians and cabaret performances. Expect edgy new writing talent – John Oliver and The League of Gentlemen performed here on their way up.
For fans of rousing musicals, the London Palladium is just 4 stops away from our hotel on the Bakerloo underground line. This prestigious theatre space puts on grand shows with music, dancing and lashings of pizazz. Instantly recognizable productions include "Phantom of the Opera", "Kinky Boots" and "School of Rock – the Musical".
As one of the most revered fringe theatres in London, you'll find provocative and current work gracing the stage of The Cockpit. Their “Theatre of Ideas” programme commissions hard-hitting works, often centering on socio-political issues. However, their lighter side introduces stand-up comedy, jazz and even pro wrestling onto the bill.
A true London institution for many years. At the independently run Royal Academy of Arts, you'll witness a mixture of visual creativity from performance art to architecture or painting. Much of the work featured is by past and present students. The Collection Gallery opened in 2018, where you can see a Michelangelo sculpture.
We’ve got you covered all day in our wood-panelled restaurant. Kick off with an indulgent buffet breakfast, and later in the day, we offer tasty British staples, including our specialty London Pride-battered fish with chunky chips. Our wine list offers select pairings with your menu choices, plus cocktails and craft beers.
Doing the work of many venues at the same time, Pergola’s 850 seats, two bars and four restaurants sprawl over two storeys. There’s a choice of Vietnamese, Mexican, French and burger outlets surrounding communal eating spaces, or you can eat al fresco in sunny weather. Drinks include locally brewed beers and global wines.
Starting life as a members’ club for journalists and photographers, The Frontline Club’s picture windows and wooden interior form an ideal backdrop for the hard-hiting images adorning the walls. Gourmet offerings, including lamb pie and vegetable Wellington, are sourced from British farms. Pair them with English ciders or beers.
For the French wine aficionado, the 11-page Gallic-orientated wine list is reason enough to visit this elegant brasserie beloved of City gents and hipsters alike. Tucked away in a mews near Hyde Park, dishes such as pan-fried seabass or lamb shank in red-wine sauce are enjoyed in a refined dining room with art nouveau flourishes.
We welcome small groups with meeting space for up to 24 boardroom and 40 theatre style.
