The vista in question being of one of the twin towers fronting the Paddington station terminus. I seem to have had some luck when checking-in and got a top floor room with a small balcony area outside. The picture above shows the principal view.
Room rate? North of $600 per night ... and that's by no means the most expensive hotel round here, not by a long chalk. We booked way-late and ended up with very few options. Good job the air fares were cheap because in terms of accommodation this is fast becoming a seriously pricey option. (Just to set the context, around the corner in W2, an 800 sq foot flat is listed for a little over $1m, and this is in Bayswater for heaven's sake! As BAR pointed out last week, in a more desireable area like Chelsea you can easily pay double that.)

Oh...and if your looking for a great restaurant which is 5 mins walk from your hotel try http://www.thefrontlineclub.com/club_restaurant.php
The frontline club is a bunch of war journo's who own a restaurent to encourage drinking, eating and thinking.
Took a client a couple of weeks ago. Good english nosh, not badly priced for paddington and great pictures on the walls!
Thanks! Will take the recommendation and try the restuarant as advertised. Will let you know! (Tried that Hilton and it was booked for the days we wanted, alas.)
