Book Hotels in London

“You find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.” – Samuel Johnson

One reads the quote above and thinks it must be overstated. It can’t be true that a city is so fantastic that people can’t pull themselves away from it. But that statement is far from exaggerated and one walk through these fabled streets helps to validate Mr. Jonhson’s quote. Why? Because letting your eyes gaze upon the beauty that is St. Paul’s Cathedral is a must and going for a walk through Hyde Park will rejuvenate the soul. And when it’s all said and done, retiring back to one of the hotels in London is like relaxing in your own home.

Where to stay in London?

When you glance over a map of London, the many different districts and neighborhoods can make it hard to know where to stay, but Travelocity has some recommendations for the best places to stay in London:

• The Rembrandt: Located in south Kensington, this historic city accommodation has a number of room options ranging from classic rooms with twin and full-size beds to multiple room suites that resemble penthouse flats. There’s also the Palette Restaurant and Carvery where you can go for a delicious meal and then head to the 1606 Lounge Bar or the Conservatory Bar. And the amenities spell out a new form of comfort with an indoor pool, health center, and spa facilities that will suit your needs just fine, making it one of the top hotels in London.
• The Bailey’s Hotel London: In between the happening neighborhoods of Chelsea and Kensington, this wonderful hotel is located in an old Victorian-era townhouse. The quaint rooms are great for relaxing after a long day gallivanting about town. Take a seat at the Olives Restaurant and enjoy a tasty Italian meal. Or you could just order room service and have your penne al vodka brought to your door.
• Sofitel London St. James: Sure, you could book a single room with a twin bed, but where’s the fun in that? You’re on vacation. You deserve to treat yourself to one of their incredible Prestige Suites. And don’t let the preferential treatment to yourself stop there, make sure to have a proper spa day. We think a Cinq Mondes Youthfulness Ko Bi Do facial ritual followed by a martini and manicure treatment should do the trick.

Best luxury hotels

The days of you shacking up in a backpacker’s hostel are long over. You’re older and more refined now. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of some of the most luxurious London Hotels:

Things to Do

It’s easy to get lost in a city of this magnitude, but sometimes that can be a good thing. Especially when you stumble upon such treats to the eyes as Hyde Park, one of the Royal Parks of London. From there, you exit on the south side of the park and make your way to Harrods department store and shop for anything from Egyptian style clothing to food and drink from faraway lands. Continuing your accidental, self-guided journey through England’s capital, you come across a building that looks like it jumped off the pages of a fairytale book. You stare in awe at the beauty of Buckingham Palace and wonder how man could build such a site. Let the day dreaming begin.
