Strand Palace Hotel

Strand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I last stayed at the Strand Palace ten years ago. I remembered liking it, but I didn't remember being knocked out by *just* how lush the initial impression is, *just* how friendly and helpful the staff are, and just how nice the room was. I'm *reasonably* sure it's undergone a total overhaul and the result is the feeling of luxury without the price tag. The hotel is VERY convenient to pretty much everything, too. Straight to the top of my London go-to hotels."

Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster

Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster

10/10 Excellent
"Breakfast was amazing! Staff was super friendly and accommodating! Only thing I would have liked was to have been able to get into my room a little sooner the morning I arrived, but I understand based on check out time that was not possible. They did a great job holding my suitcase and allowing me access to a bathroom to freshen up before my meetings for the day. Thanks Riu Westminster - I would recommend to anyone traveling to London."

Royal Garden Hotel

Royal Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I am writing to share that my recent stay at The Royal Garden Hotel was exceptional. Upon my arrival, the staff immediately assisted me with my luggage and accommodated my early arrival by holding my bags until check-in. Throughout my stay, every team member was friendly and attentive. My room was clean and well-appointed. Additionally, I dined at both hotel restaurants, and the food was delicious. The piano bar was also wonderful, with a warm and welcoming staff. I will definitely return to the Royal Garden Hotel for another stay soon. Thank you for providing such outstanding service."

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These are quite similar. "Historic hotel" is a term often used in the US, whereas "heritage hotel" is common in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to emphasise the building and architecture itself. Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the cultural value and how it shaped the community.

In London, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's rundown.
