A stopover in the U.K. capital can be easier (and more reasonable) than you think. Here, a trio of stylish options.

Base2stay

This white-stucco town house near Earl’s Court has 67 rooms with kitchenettes; some come with garden terraces. Doubles from $210.

Hoxton Hotel

An urban lodge in east London with homey touches: brick walls, fireplaces, and artwork by notable locals like Ben Allen. Doubles from $120.

The Rockwell

The 40 elegant rooms on a quiet South Kensington street have updated English décor, including Egyptian-cotton sheets, merino wool blankets, and bespoke oak furnishings—plus Philippe Starck–designed bathrooms. Doubles from $325.—Kaveri S. Marathe
