Introduction: The Novotel London West is situated on the
Hammersmith Gyratory system, one of the major road junctions in London. This
gives access to the A4 dual carriageway into and out of London, and also to
South London by the almost adjacent Hammersmith Bridge. 11 miles and 15 minutes
on a clear run by taxi from Heathrow Airport and walking distance to the Olympia
Exhibition centre (0.5 miles). West London's other major exhibition centre of
Earls Court is just one mile away. This location is on the edge of West London
with good transport links by bus, road and train into central London. Close by
are many shops and cafes with the popular shopping areas of Kensington (0.5
miles), King Street Hammersmith/Chiswick High Road (0.6 miles) close by. There's
actually a shopping centre called the Broadway centre almost adjacent to the
hotel that's located within the Hammersmith Gyratory system. These areas also
make for a good choice of venues for nightlife with a good selection of
restaurants and pubs. Just over 200 yards from the hotel is the unmissable
London Ark, a 1990's office block created to look like the famous biblical ark.
The building is controversial being an eye sire to many and a work of art to
others. It also happens to make a great landmark by which to pin point the
hotel. Other local attractions include the Hammersmith Palais nightclub (0.2
miles), The Hammersmith Apollo Theatre (0.2 miles) and Leighton house museum
(0.7 miles).

Comment: In October 2006 the hotel became the
first in the UK to be given the ISO14001 environmental accreditation. This was
achieved by drawing up a long term plan to reduce the amount of waste it
produces and to increase the amount of recycling it carries out. At the time of
accreditation the hotel was recycling 20% of all its waste. The hotel also won a
totally separate award of the 'Customer Management - National Customer Service
Award 2006'.
