This four-star hotel is proof that affordable accommodation needn’t be sterile. A stay here won’t harm your bank balance, but you get much more character for your pennies than you would at a standard budget chain. The contemporary hotel has a chic, east-meets-west vibe, with hand-carved Asian furniture, richly coloured fabrics and lush marble bathrooms. There’s also private gated parking and some rare outside space: a sunny, secluded garden for guests.
The best hotels in Earl's Court give you a great base to explore an area that used to be best known for its famous Exhibition Centre, which hosted gigs, award ceremonies and even parts of the London 1948 and 2012 Olympics, before permanently closing a couple of years ago. The area, between Hammersmith and Kensington, is still a great base for trips to London, with plenty of hotels to choose from. Our pick of the best hotels in Earl's Court are all within walking distance of Kensington Olympia, the next best thing when it comes to fairs, festivals and shows. London’s Design Museum is also nearby, as are Stamford Bridge stadium, Queens Tennis Club, Brompton Cemetery and the upmarket shopping streets of Chelsea, Sloane Square and Kensington. South Kensington’s string of museums are a hop, skip and a tube stop away too. So what are you waiting for?
