“Mercure London Kensington Hotel strikes me as a practical choice near Earls Court, with the museums and Hyde Park easily accessible. I imagine it as a comfortable, reliable base for exploring the city's cultural attractions and for business, especially given the transport links. The contemporary bar seems a relaxing spot after a day out.”
