President Hotel Shuttles

Adjacent from SOAS University of London’s vibrant Middle Eastern and Asian studies as well as the famous London School of Economics and Political Science, the casual but pristine President Hotel brings visitors close to insightful students as well as breezy urban parks. Rooms come with London-themed artwork and corner seating areas, while general perks impress with an art deco-themed cafe that converts to a jazz bar by night. Get to know general on-site perks as well, from relaxed views of Russell Square across the street to room service from at least five different restaurants. And with less than three minutes walking-distance from Russell Square Station, the hotel is great for getting transfers to London City Airport. See every other side of town just as simple by having a ride of your own, either by taking advantage of private vehicle rentals such as quaint sedans and intimate SUVs or through simple meet-and-greet services like stretched limousines, taxis and local personal drivers.

Take advantage of what the area has to offer the moment you wake up, finding a handful of nearby museums and parks as perfect for business breaks as family getaways. Especially delightful is the hardwood library and furnishings of the Charles Dickens Museum and historic Foundling Museum, which tells the story of England’s first home for abandoned children. Spend the rest of the afternoon going on a leafy walk around the old building, finding 18th-century lookouts at Brunswick Square Gardens as well as dazzling statues from St. George’s Gardens. For those interested in taking a break from the outdoors, head toward The Brunswick Centre for upscale fashion and an arthouse cinema placed across several levels of atrium-lit modernity. And when dinner calls, the easiest way to answer is by staying in at President Hotel, choosing from casual steak at Saracen’s Carvery or contemporary dishes in the dome-shaped Atrium Bar & Cafe.
