The Best Western Mornington Hotel is situated just a few steps from Lancaster Gate Tube Station. The hotel occupies a Victorian house, and "Frommer's" describes its decor as Scandinavian-inspired.

The on-site Library Bar serves drinks and snacks, and a number of restaurants are within a brief walking distance, including Nipa Thai Restaurant.

The Royal Park is a five-minute walk from both Lancaster Gate Tube Station and Paddington Station, which handles non-stop train services to destinations throughout England and Wales. The hotel occupies three restored mid 19th-century townhouses and the 48 guest rooms are described by "Lonely Planet" as "immaculate." All rooms feature handmade beds, oil paintings and antique furniture. Guests receive a complimentary glass of champagne each morning and breakfast in bed. Guests can relax in the lounge or private garden and order from the room service menu.
The Pavilion Hotel is a 10-minute walk east of Lancaster Gate Tube Station and just off Edgware Road, which is home to numerous Middle Eastern restaurants and stores.

The 30 guest rooms are individually designed to reflect different themes that include "Casablanca Nights" and "Enter the Dragon" -- decor that Frommer's describes as "theatrical and often outrageous."
