Staycity Wilde Paddington, London

London’s newest aparthotel is inspired by the brilliant Oscar Wilde and will delight those seeking a home from home that’s rich on charm, personality, style, elegance, creativity, quirkiness and originality. This brand-new 249-room aparthotel offers a range of design-led studio and one bedroom apartments, all of which deliver the award-winning Staycity blend of home and hotel, but with lashings of Wilde’s signature style.

This means the usual combination of home comforts such as fully equipped kitchens and hotel services such as 24-hour reception, but with the addition of superior interior finishes including natural timber flooring, bespoke joinery, crafts, artwork and soft furnishings, 43-inch smart TVs, appliances from high end brands such as Smeg and Nespresso, as well as luxuriant Hypnos mattresses and Grohe rainfall showers. Furthermore, with Wilde being proudly Irish-owned, each apartment is a showroom for some of Ireland’s most talented independent businesses, artists, crafters and more, while the walls of communal areas are adorned with contemporary Irish photography sitting alongside locally inspired pieces.
