THE PILGRM, PADDINGTON
Housed in a set of Victorian townhouses in the heart
of the action at Paddington (where the Heathrow
Express fast train docks), the unassuming Pilgrm hotel is
trailblazing the area’s ascent. There’s a comfortable yet low-fi,
turn-of-the-century aesthetic, with polished wooden floors,
brass fittings and sophisticated shades of jade and indigo
colouring the walls and carpets. It’s an understated version of
cool here, and The Pilgrm marks a new era of hotels designed
as lifestyle spaces for locals and travellers alike. Rooms are on
the smaller side, but so are the prices, and you’ll want to spend
your morning sipping coffee and eating avocado on toast in
the cafe where bespectacled locals tap away on laptops and
flick through magazines. Rooms from $315/night.6
