It’s #PrideMonth and although we agree that dedicating a whole month in favour of our LGBTQ+ family is a step in the right direction we believe that it is crucial to support the movement year-round. Which is why Mercure London Paddington is extremely proud to be part of the Booking.com “Travel Proud” programme.

The #TravelProud programme was introduced in 2019 and is a way of making travel more inclusive for the LGBTQ+ community. The aim is to make sure that a truly welcoming stay awaits LGBTQ+ people in our hotel, that way, you can focus on experiencing the full joy of travel, no matter who you love or how you identify. The mission is to make it easier for everyone to experience the world, this is because life is made richer with new experiences, and we believe that it’s only possible to truly appreciate them if everyone can comfortably show up as themselves.

There are three key priorities at the heart of Travel Proud and they are: Helping LGBTQ+ people travel with confidence, helping properties be extra welcoming & using the right language in every interaction.

All our sister hotels Mercure Hyde Park, Indigo Paddington, Mercure Nottingham and Holiday Inn Leicester Wigston have actively taken part in this Booking.com “Travel Proud” programme and actively wish to champion this forward-thinking initiative. Regardless of how you identify or who you love the family at London Town Group await you with the warmest of welcomes and we look forward to meeting and accommodating all of you.
