The YukonHome/Where to stay/London/3-star hotels
3-star hotels in London
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in London, Ontario, for travellers who want dependable comfort without paying for frills. The 15 properties range from downtown addresses to Highway 401 corridors and a rural edge, with guest ratings from 4.0 to 4.6 out of 5.
Staying in London
London sits at the forks of the Thames River in southwestern Ontario, with parks and trails along the banks, a heritage core around Dundas and Richmond streets, and museums including Museum London and the Banting House National Historic Site. It is a university city with a growing culinary scene and annual events such as the Home County Music & Art Festival in Victoria Park.
These hotels spread across the city rather than clustering in one spot. The most central are Hotel Metro at Covent Market Place and The Park Hotel London on Pall Mall Street, both within 2.1 km of the centre; Idlewyld Inn & Spa on Grand Avenue is close behind. Others line the Wellington Road South corridor south of downtown, the Exeter Road and Bessemer Road area, and the airport end of Dundas Street East, with one property out at Burtwistle Lane. Couples gravitate to the spa and garden settings, families to the suite-style hotels with kitchens and pools, and business travellers to the downtown properties and conference centres. A car helps for the outlying addresses.
