Step off a train at Paddington – Brunel’s masterpiece, and you’re in “the most important historical railway station in the world”. A short stroll westwards and you’re in a classic London cityscape of white stucco townhouses, imposing porticos and cobbled mews. This is the London we love, and the one we hope to embody in The Chilworth hotel in Paddington . We’ve restored our own white stucco townhouse, infusing its airy rooms with a new elegance befitting our age, but evocative of a more romantic era.

Step inside the lobby, where warm, dark wood, polished marble and crushed velvet envelope you in laid-back luxury, and you’ve arrived. With the feel of a private members club, but the warmth of a neighbourhood cafe, it’ll make you feel at home, but very definitely away – cosseted by quietly attentive service in surroundings as stimulating as they are relaxing. It’s a place to call your own, to achieve your goals and to enjoy London your way. We’re here to help you do just that.
