Visit LONDON ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Street Art, Galleries, Events, by paulypaul on Sept 11, 2007 19:31:01 GMT 1, Stop at the Hoxton. ยฃ8 to Covent Grden and some special, special pieces in the area. I stopped there last weekend, room 313, and the huge Blu work (the one with brains being sucked through straws.....) was right outside the window.
Additionally, after many hours of searching, I managed to photograph the shutters of a shop that Eine hadn't stuck a letter on. Took some time but it was worth it...

IMO if you really want to impress,use one of the major hotels around Hyde Park Corner. The Lanesborough, The Hilton, The Intercontinental, The Dorchester, The Four Seasons,The Grosvenor House, Or of course The Ritz on Picadilly. You also won't go wrong at The Savoy on the Strand, but you should prepare yourself for a hefty bill. All of these are within walking distance of the square or a ยฃ5.00 cab ride at most. (Remember:Always use a Licensed London Taxi..!!!!) Good Luck.

Visit LONDON ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Street Art, Galleries, Events, by Strange Al on Sept 11, 2007 19:47:24 GMT 1, As suggested, the newly built Hoxton Hotel is nice and very well located for all of the Hoxton/Shoreditch graff. It's a two minute walk from the new Angel piece on Old Street, the new ratapult and POW is outside the back door.
If you're going all out, you really can't beat The Dorchester. It's amazing! The Met is also very nice.
If you're after something central and "Trendy" (in the c**ktail bar, minor celebs sense) you've got The Sanderson, The St Martin's Lane, The Trafalgar and The Soho Hotel to name a few. The bar in the Sanderson is probably the best of that lot.

Visit LONDON ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Street Art, Galleries, Events, by organics1 on Sept 11, 2007 19:59:56 GMT 1, I was going to suggest the Sanderson if you like funky, designer boutique style hotels. By the way you must try the Purple Room, Nothing but Vodka from around the world. www.sandersonlondon.com
If you like more traditonal decor then the Covent Garden Hotel is a must. www.firmdale.com
And finally if you don't mind being a little oustide of London and driving in then the Stoke Park Club is one of my favourite places to stay. Don't forget your gold clubs whilst the other half relaxes in the award winning SPA www.stokeparkclub.com
Hope this helps.

If you go club level all drinks and nice snacks are included in the lounge. If you want to indulge beyond belief go for a four poster bed at the Dorchester, The service is second to none here!

Taking the wife up for the weekend and need some help please ;D 4/5 star thanks I stayed at 'The Trafalgar' (Hilton) a couple of weeks ago and it was in a superb location. Leicester Square, Covent garden, Picadilly all just a few minutes walk. Itโs a smart hotel as well, I think itโs a 4 Star.

www.laterooms.com/en/r100_hotels-in-uk.aspx
An alternative to hotel is a serviced apartment.....I don't bother with a hotel when I have to go to London with work for a few days I just find a good deal on a serviced apartment.......of course you have to sort out your own breakfast...... ;D
