On the basis of no personal experience, solely rumor: <BR> <BR>-- The Lanesborough -- I've heard a rumor that the 1,000 pound a night suite is pretty AOK. Great location. <BR> <BR>-- The new Ian Schrager St Martin's Lane hotel, just to see what all the fuss is about.

DEfinitely the Dorchester, every room that I was ever in was consistently beautiful- great flowers in lobby- tea after work is affordable there. SAvoy rooms are inconsistent, and worn. Claridges is good too- but some rooms are very small- Grovsenor House- a little to big for me, 47 Park a good choice too. Any questions, email

Haven't stayed at too many of the big names, but the nicest hotel we ever used in London was the St James Court, then a Taj property, now a Crowne Plaza, http://www.london.crowneplaza.com/index.html <BR>We're very fond of good renovation/conversions of historic properties to modern uses, and this baby scored on all points. I believe the courtyard and some of the apartments were used in <I>Enchanted April</I> if that's any recommendation.

why should you go for one of the big chain hotels when you can get a smaller friendlier and more looked after atmosphere? I am working on a project on London hotels and can assure that the nicest are the smaller ones. If you take a look at this site: <BR>http://www.gorehotel.com/ <BR>you will see what I mean! The rooms are really nice with old four poster beds and the bathrooms are not at all like bathrooms. There are three hotels that are part of this small chain. I can't let you know enough how much nicer these hotels are than the big stuffy ones. Definietly where I will be staying when I go to London!

At the rates listed, I would Choose the Tower Thistle. The only drawback is it is out of the very center, being at the Tower tube stop on the Circle/District lines and the Docklands light railway. <BR> <BR>Depending on where the majority of the business mettings are this could be a good or bad thing. <BR> <BR>The rooms are large, almost all have terrific views of the River and Tower Bridge, and St Katherine's Dock is right next door.
