With so much to see and do in London, a staycation at Central Park Collection is the best way to embrace the season. Whether you’re looking to explore local gems, or simply looking for a change of scenery with a touch of luxury. Our hotels overlooking Hyde Park and just a short walk from Bayswater and Paddington station make the perfect base for your winter adventure.
Start Your Day the Right Way
Mornings are made for lazy starts in winter, and our cosy, comfortable rooms are hard to leave. But once you’ve torn yourself away, you’re spoilt for choice for breakfast options nearby. You can find traditional English breakfasts, fresh pastries, and artisan coffee at Paddington’s independent cafes. There is something for every mood. Why not take it slow and savour the moment?
Explore Bayswater’s Timeless Appeal
Bayswater is the perfect blend of old-world charm and modern vibrancy. Stroll through its Georgian streets and picturesque garden squares, or explore the lively Queensway, where you’ll find an array of restaurants, shops, and unique finds. For a touch of tranquillity, visit the Italian Gardens in nearby Hyde Park. Designed in 1862, this Victorian treasure reflects elegance and serenity, inspiring the biophilic design of our hotels.
Hidden Gems Near Paddington
Just a short walk from our hotels, you’ll find Norfolk Square Gardens, a quiet spot to pause and soak in the calm. A stroll along Little Venice’s canals is another must, where colourful houseboats add a unique charm to the winter scenery. These hidden treasures offer a quieter side of London that’s perfect for a winter staycation.
Discover Seasonal Museums and Galleries
Staying with Central Park Collection puts you close to London’s best museums and galleries all just a short walk or tube ride away. On a cold day, head to the Serpentine Galleries right in Hyde Park for contemporary art in a stunning setting. Alternatively, head over to the Science Museum or Natural History Museum located nearby for a day of discovery (and warmth!).
Embrace the Art of Relaxation
A staycation is all about unwinding, and winter is the perfect excuse to slow down. Head to one of the nearby luxury spas for a little pampering or wrap up warm and enjoy the serene beauty of Hyde Park’s Gardens. Afterwards, treat yourself to a comforting hot drink in one of the area’s charming tearooms—our favourite way to warm up after a brisk walk.
Cosy Evenings by the Fire
London knows how to do cosy in winter, and you don’t have to go far to find a welcoming spot. Bayswater and Paddington come alive in the evening and there are plenty of pubs around with roaring fireplaces, a glass of red wine, and hearty meals on offer. It’s the perfect way to end the day—whether you’re catching up with a loved one or indulging in some quiet time on your own.
