Luxury Stay
If you're traveling though London and looking for the most elegant hotel you can find, try the Dorchester Hotel. This hotel has been reviewed as one of Frommer's exceptionally rated hotels. Every guest room has Irish linen sheets, cherry-wood furnishings and most rooms come with beautiful four-poster beds. Spend your day relaxing in the hotel's health club, there is a small shopping arcade for souvenir's or visit the salon for a new hairdo. Choose between three restaurants for dinner and then enjoy a nightcap in the hotel's bar. Children are welcome, babysitting is available.Frommers.com: The Dorchester -
Affordable Stay
The Pavilion Hotel is a small funky, laid back hotel located in central London. Popular with fashion models and music-industry folks, this is one of the most affordable places to stay. All the rooms have been designed in a funky and glamorous decor. Many rooms are themed and have names such as the "Honky Tonk Afro," "Casablanca Nights," "Better Red Than Dead" and "Enter The Dragon."Fodor's: The Pavilion Hotel -

London Luxury Hotels
- Claridge's (Mayfair) Phone: 020-7629-8860 Google Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation: "Look forward to 'an old-world ambience that cannot be replicated' at this nineteenth-century Mayfair hotel. Public areas are 'gleaming and beautiful' and include a Dale Chihuly handblown glass sculpture."
- Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "That once-fading 1812 beauty has experienced a $75-million rebirth, and its staid image has changed."
- Travel + Leisure 500 Winner: "A high-wattage hotel, as famous for its Gordon Ramsay restaurant as it is for its David Linley-designed suites."
- The Dorchester (Mayfair) Phone: 020-7629-8888 Google Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation: "'Comfortable and luxurious,' this 1930s country-style hotel on Hyde Park, where Prince Philip hosted his bachelor party, has one-of-a-kind architecture such as octagonal corner windows and floating balconies."
- Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "One of London's best hotels, it has all the elegance of The Connaught, but without the upper-crust attitude that can verge on snobbery."
- Fodor's Choice: "Furnishings throughout are opulent English country-house style, with more than a hint of art deco, in keeping with the original 1930s building."
- Four Seasons London (Mayfair) Phone: 800/819-5053, 020-7499-0888 Google Map

- The Goring (Westminster/Victoria) Phone: 020-7396-9000 Google Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation: "This brick newcomer next to Buckingham Palace opened in 1910, and was the last hotel to be built during King Edward VII's reign."

- The Lanesborough (Knightsbridge) Phone: 877-787-3447, 020-7259-5599 Google Map

- Fodor's Choice: "Guests at the Lanesborough have their own private butlers."
- Travel + Leisure 500 Winner: "Posh Regency decor, a fantastic spa, and personal butlers."
- Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park (Knightsbridge) Phone: 020-7201-3773, 020-7235-2000 Google Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation: "Rooms decorated in pale hues come with plenty of silk. Stop by the Mandarin Bar for the signature Mandarin Oriental Classic--Cognac, champagne, and a bitters-soaked sugar cube."
- Fodor's Choice: "The service here is legendary and includes a butler on every floor. In 2005 Margaret Thatcher held her star-studded birthday party here."
- Travel + Leisure 500 Winner: "London's most innovative hotel spa, set in an ideal location."
- One Aldwych (Covent Garden & the Strand) Phone: 020-7300-0500, 020-7300-1000 Google Map

London Moderate Hotels
- Miller's Residence (Paddington & Bayswater) Phone: 020-7243-1024 Google Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation: "Not really a hotel at all, it's the kind of place where Notting Hill bohos between homes--or marriages--move in for a month or more."
- Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "The individually designed rooms are named after romantic poets. They vary in shape and size, but all are luxuriously furnished with antiques, prints, and tasteful curios."
- Fodor's Choice: "From the moment you ring the bell and are ushered up the winding staircase flanked by antiques and curios, you know you've entered another realm where history is paramount."
- The Zetter (In the City) Phone: 020-7324-4444 Google Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation: "This Victorian warehouse turned 59-room hotel on heavily trafficked Clerkenwell Road is missing nary a detail of what constitutes a cutting-edge big-city boutique hotel..."
- Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "Secondhand furnishings are set beside classic modern pieces. The designers certainly achieved their stated goal of "a great bed, a great shower, and state-of-the-art in-room technology."
- Fodor's Choice: "Rooms are smoothly done up in soft, dove gray and vanilla fabrics, and the views from the higher floors are wonderful. It's all lovely to look at, and a bargain by London standards."
- The Portobello (Notting Hill) Phone: 020-7727-2777 Google Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation: "The very definition of shabby chic, the decor is half high-Victorian, half colonial, with claw-foot tubs and a great deal of red velvet."
- Fodor's Choice: "One of London's most famous hotels, the little Portobello (formed from two adjoining Victorian houses) is seriously hip, attracting as many celebrities as ordinary folk, and garnering a stellar reputation in the process."
- TripAdvisor 3.5 Rating (Note: Community Ratings; Subject to Change)
- Aster House (Knightsbridge) Phone: 020-7581-5888 Google Map
- Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "[I]t's a friendly, inviting, and well-decorated lodging on a tree-lined street. The area surrounding the hotel, Sumner Place, looks like a Hollywood set depicting Victorian London."
- Fodor's Review: "Country-casual rooms fill this delightful guesthouse. The friendly owners go out of their way to make you feel at home and answer questions, even loaning guests a free cell phone to use while in town."
- TripAdvisor 4.5 Rating (Note: Community Ratings; Subject to Change)
- Grange Blooms Hotel (Bloomsbury) Phone: 020-7323-1717 Google Map
- Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "Even though it's in the heart of London, the house has a country-home atmosphere, complete with fireplace, period art, and copies of Country Life in the magazine rack."

London Affordable Hotels
- The Pavilion Hotel (Paddington) Phone: 0207-262-0905
- Concierge.com Recommendation: "This is the cherished baby of ex-model Danny Karne and his sister Noshi, so it's not surprising the fickle fashion folk flock here. What keeps them coming back is the loony, decadent Look..."
- Frommer's Recommended: "Until the early 1990s, this was a rather ordinary-looking B&B. Then a team of entrepreneurs with ties to the fashion industry took over and redecorated the rooms with sometimes wacky themes, turning it into an idiosyncratic little hotel."
- TripAdvisor 2.0 Rating (Note: Community Ratings; Subject to Change)
- B&B Belgravia (Belgravia) Phone: 207-259-8570 Google Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation: "The cost of real estate in this upmarket neighborhood doesn't bear thinking about, but at B+B Belgravia--a duo of Georgian townhouses on a residential street--you could convince yourself that you're at home, and a fine one at that."
- TripAdvisor 4.0 Rating (Note: Community Ratings; Subject to Change)
- The Jenkins Hotel (Bloomsbury) Phone: 020-7387-2067 Google Map
- Frommer's Highly Recommended: "All the rooms have been redecorated in traditional Georgian style, and many have been completely refurbished with new beds and upholstery."
- TripAdvisor 3.5 Rating (Note: Community Ratings; Subject to Change)
- Arosfa Hotel (Bloomsbury) Phone: 020-7636-2115 Google Map
- Fodor's Choice: "Those at the back are far quieter, though the double glazing somewhat tames the din of the students on their way to and from class at University College London."
