Orchard Hotel Shuttles

On the eastern edge of London’s bustling Paddington neighborhood, the Orchard Hotel provides a warm welcome for guests as well as modest rooms perfect for enjoying Georgian-era architecture on a budget. Located in connected townhomes, the building provides a quiet rooms with windowsill balconies opening up to either the Southwick Mews or Sussex Gardens. General perks of the homey stay include free continental breakfast in an old lobby as well as ready-made coffee & tea, not to mention close access to both the underground and above-ground trains via the historic Paddington Station. To better see the region’s hidden nooks & crannies, consider a handful of private vehicle rentals that range from the quietude of sedans to the spacious beauty of SUVs, not to mention professional meet-and-greets like stretched limousines and taxis perfect for arriving to the nearby Cavendish Conference Centre.

Near the Orchard Hotel are various landmark buildings and unique ways to do some urban exploration, while the outskirts include royal palaces and world-famous museums galore. Start simple by heading a few blocks north toward the Paddington Basin, renting out a boat for a riverside tour of the area that includes historic buildings and waterside flowers in Little Venice - take the river all the way to the London Zoo Waterbus on the north edge of Regent’s Park for an afternoon of family-friendly fun, or continue further down to reach the Camden Lock Waterbus, which drops off at the trendy shops & restaurants surrounding Camden Market. For an all-in-one adventure right around the corner, head to Hyde Park instead, paying your respects at the Princess Diana Memorial just south of The Serpentine or considering daily tours of chapels and state rooms at Buckingham Palace. And no trip to the Paddington area would be complete without a bite from one of London Street’s many restaurants, from festive kebabs at Paramount Lebanese Kitchen to Sunday buffets at The Mughal’s Indian Restaurant.
