Description
At the end of Kingdom Street stands the Paddington Novotel designed by the architectural practice of Dexter Moren Associates.  They say of it that, "Clad in copper-based brass and gold shingles, the building creates a striking landmark for drivers entering London on the M40."  They add that, "A key feature in its development has been the construction of a new, high level, structural deck to enable the planned 'cross-rail' scheme to run underneath the site whilst allowing the hotel to be built above."  The hotel offers guests a pool, restaurant, bar and a choice of 206 rooms including three penthouse suites.
