London's Hotels - Hospitality Values

Through the long years when the sun never set on the British Empire, London attracted visitors from all over the world. Even today London serves as a hub of culture, commerce, and tourism, entertaining diverse guests representing nearly every nation in the world. This makes the London hotel scene uniquely vibrant and satisfying.

There's a special hospitality culture in London's hotels unparalleled in any other world city. After all, London was one of the originating cities of the much vaunted boutique hotel movement in hospitality back in the 1980's. While not every hospitality venue in London falls into the boutique category, the boutique ethic is a permanent fixture in London's hospitality scene. This goes for lodgings ranging from the least expensive hostels through the mid-level chains to the lofty heights of luxury.

Naturally, the lower the budget is, the fewer the choices are, but few cities in the world offer guests as many lodging options as London. Whether your taste is simple and historically charming or if you prefer ultra-modern with amenities galore, you're sure to find a place to suit your tastes and needs.

Going through the full list of London hotels would be fairly impractical as there are literally hundreds in the city. Even if such a list were presented here, the process of going through the full list would not only kill at least a few afternoons, it would make your head spin.

The best approach for selecting a London hotel that's right for you is to go over a few representative examples of the types and varieties of lodgings available.

High End Hospitality

First, the Soho Hotel is one of the finest examples of high end London hospitality, offering guests 91 suites and bedrooms decorated in the sharp, but comfortable décor of contemporary England. Guests enjoy a whole range of amenities and services from concierge services (an absolute requirement amidst the ever-changing trends in London shopping, dining, and entertainment), unique and traditional tea times (taken in the Refuel restaurant, the drawing room, or the library), body and beauty spa treatments, and a state of the art screening room. Taken together, Soho is a great, relatively affordable way to experience London culture right in the heart of the city.

Homey And Cozy

For a more cozy, homey feel, hotels like the Glenlyn Guest House combine the stylish comfort of a traditional B&B with the amenities and conveniences of a full hotel. In the case of the Glenlyn, each room or suite features a 32'' flat screen with free view. Each room is uniquely decorated, so guests can come repeatedly and have a slightly different experience each time. What stays consistent is the discreet, friendly service and the separate guest entrance. All these factors combine to help guests feel as comfortable as possible. The Glenlyn is a great value for the money.

Traditional B&Bs are also a great way to go, and there are at least dozens of choices all over the city. This can be a great way to experience English culture and hospitality. Visit us on our site for more great info on London hotels!
