Hotels in London,
England -
London Hotels
Hotels in London are in very good supply. While, in global terms, it is an expensive city in which to lay your head, those on a budget have many options for cheap hotels in London.
The streets around
Kings Cross station are chock-a-block with chain hotels and budget B&Bs;, and the area in between
Bayswater and
Paddington is also densely populated with a range of accommodation.
Grand and historic 5-star establishments are
London's forte, with the newly refurbished
Savoy,
The Dorchester and
The Ritz leading the way.
The London hotels below have been grouped into three pricing categories:
Luxury (over £
300)
Moderate (£
100 to £300)
Cheap (up to £100)
These London hotel prices are the starting costs for a standard double room and include taxes and breakfast unless otherwise specified.
The Savoy
==============
A haunt of London's moneyed elite since the late 1800s, London's Savoy re-opened its grand doors in
2010 following a three-year overhaul. Costing around £
220 million, the spangly improvements have been enticing high-profile clientele from
across the world, with revamped areas including the lavish guest rooms, the
American Bar, and the famous
Savoy Grill, which is overseen by TV kitchen king
Gordon Ramsey. One thing that's not changed is the stunning view across the
Thames.
The Dorchester
============
Sat beside
Hyde Park, the glamorous
Dorchester is a stately cavern of old-school
British class. Dining includes high-end
Asian restaurant China Tang and purveyors of modern
British cuisine The
Grill at The Dorchester, while the extensive spa in the basement is an exceptional pampering space. For all-out luxury, there's the baroque and rococo
Oliver Messel Suite, perched a-top the hotel, with a terrace offering prime views across the London rooftops.
The Ritz
========
Since
1906, The Ritz has been providing exemplary service to its well-heeled guests. The interior of this elegant building is fastidiously decorated in
Louis XVI style with marble columns, rich fabrics and antique furniture. The rooms are furnished in soothing pastel colours, and the chandelier-filled restaurant is offers classic glamour for formal meals, and the famous
Ritz afternoon tea is served in the
Palm Court at 1530 or
1700.
The
Soho Hotel
===========
Rooms at this trendy hotel are sumptuously appointed in a modern, eclectic style, not forgetting flatscreen TVs, huge, ultra-comfortable beds, and sleek bathrooms kitted out in grey granite, glass and oak. Befitting a hotel nestled in the heart of London's entertainment district, there is a swish private event space and two private screening rooms. Onsite restaurant Refuel has an attractive dinner menu, as well as serving afternoon tea and an extensive selection of breakfast dishes.
The Zetter
=========
This converted warehouse in the heart of
Clerkenwell is pretty affordable considering its desirable location. Its 59 rooms are decked in sleek upholstery, cool mood lighting and in-room entertainment systems.
Nice little touches, such as hot water bottles and old
Penguin paperbacks, add a homely feel. The Zetter's popular restaurant, which serves modern
Mediterranean food, occupies most of the ground floor and looks onto
St John's Square.
Hoxton Hotel
==========
In the heart of Hoxton, in the same premises as the popular Hoxton Grill, is this wallet savvy establishment.
The Hoxton Hotel forgoes the money-making mini bar and instead has free milk and bottled water in the fridge, and sells the like of sweets and wine at reasonable prices in the lobby. Wi-Fi is also free, and guests receive a simple but tasty breakfast from coffee house chain
Pret A Manger delivered to their room.
Hampstead Guest House
==================
Escape to this charming bed and breakfast situated in one of London's most sought-after residential areas. Just
20 minutes on the
Underground from central London and a short walk from beautiful
Hampstead Heath, the stunning
Victorian house is tucked away from a high street strewn with stylish boutiques and bistros. The ambience is distinctly homely with eclectic, bohemian furnishings, a family dog, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a rambling garden.
