I really appreciate a great hotel and am willing to pay (within reason). Typical split personality: family w/ 3 small kids and business exec road warrior. Hotel priorities are location, cleanliness, non smoking, peace and quiet, fitness center.
Luxurious, Classic, Shopping, Museums, Sightseeing, Nightlife, Business People, Tourists
July 18 2007: I've stayed in this hotel several times during business trips to London. Location, fitness center, and overall quality keep me coming back and willing to pay the price. Easy walk to points of interest and restaurants. The hotel is adjacent to a fitness club with pool and full amenities (a real bonus). Not super luxurious, but high quality hotel for business traveler (sufficient business services and web access) or tourist in London. I would take my family there too. I hosted a Board of Directors meeting at this hotel and also had other small meetings with a good experience. I will be back.
