Best Upscale Hotel in London ...
 

<BR>... preferably not too large. I loved the Savoy several years ago but I gather it's gone down hill.

Connaught . . . will start at about 250 GBP. Great restuarants and extremely classy high tea (at least in Jan, 2000).

The Charlotte Street Hotel has a great location, its website shows some spectacular rooms, and its clearly upscale.....<BR>OTOH, it's going to charge upscale rates likely above 300 GBP's.<BR>Best wishes.

Claridge's or the Lanesborough.

Don't forget the Dorchester. Haven't been there in a few years but it certainly belongs amongst this group. Also has a lovely tea.

We have enjoyed our time staying at the St. James Club. First class service without all the hotel trappings. They have a web site at www.stjamesclub.co.uk

One Aldwych. More of a contemporary boutique hotel. I agree the Savoy has gone downhill in the last years although I think they are in the process of renovation.

Kat- I had suggested the Dorchester but just remembered I saw an article in Travel &amp; Leisure magazine (I think it was Oct. 2002) that mentioned a number of new upscale boutique hotels in London. Maybe you can check it out.
