The 396-room 10 storey Royal Garden Hotel is a 'factory-hotel' that is currently undergoing major renovations (after some of the guest rooms, the lobby is next in line for a makeover). Located in an ultra trendy part of Kensington, the hotel prides itself on being the only establishment in London to boast a cosmetic surgery clinic combined with a well-being centre! This is a comprehensive hotel that is likely to intimidate those who prefer things on a smaller scale.

As its name suggests, the Baglioni provides its guests with very Italian-inspired surroundings, despite its location at the heart of a truly British environment (including the weather!) at the centre of the upmarket borough of Kensington. Having said that, the welcome you'll receive from the staff and the decorative detail of the lobby alone are enough to take your mind off what the weather happens to be doing. The management team has put a great deal of thought into the decor of this place, from the communal areas to the guest rooms, making it an original 5 star establishment and a far cry from the traditional British hotel.

Nestled in the heart of one of London's most beautiful and sophisticated districts, the Kensington Close Hotel doesn't go unnoticed. Housed in a large period building of red brick, the façade displays its name... to the letter! The charm continues inside the building thanks to the numerous amenities at hand - this hotel is a delightful and most welcome asset in the British capital.

Described by the British media as the capital's most romantic hotel, the Gore is also believed to be the most photographed. Light years away from the anonymous hotel chains commonly found in large cities, this establishment provides intimate surroundings not unlike those you would expect to find at a guesthouse. Located between the exclusive districts of Knightsbridge and Kensington, the facilities offered by the Gore are every bit worthy of its 5 star rating, making it ideal for special (and even not so special) occasions! It is particularly recommended for couples without children, as there are no facilities to cater for younger guests.

The Rydges Kensington London is a good compromise between standard hotels and hotels of the highest quality. It is an affordable place to stay in an upscale suburb of London without going bankrupt.

If you are an enthusiast of contemporary hotels, this one certainly isn't for you! As this used to be the Queen Mum's residence, it is of course listed as a historical monument, which means that nothing in the building can be altered... This didn't stop the hotel, however, from installing all the modern amenities. It is very much like a little museum, as it used to be the Earl of Strathmore's dwelling place, hence the name. Indeed, there aren't any leisure-dedicated facilities within the hotel, but this only serves to educate and allow you to discover the town better! We recommend it to couples with no children.

This little boutique hotel in an old Georgian house is nothing like the legendary palaces or traditional houses of England. It offers its guests a number of advantages, including its location at the heart of a very hip neighbourhood, an intimate atmosphere and personalised service. However, there is a slight drawback: while the decor in the common areas is worthy of a boutique hotel, the same cannot be said of the guest rooms.

Located in the beautiful heart of London, the Radisson Edwardian Vanderbilt is a hotel recommendable for a London stay away from the busy city, at just a short walk from Hyde Park and the shopping street of Kensington.

In very much the same way as the opening of The Savoy caused tongues to wag furiously back in 1889 with its electricity, new fangled lifts and en suite bathrooms, the reopening after three years of renovation on 10th October 2010 was the biggest talking point in the British, if not world, hotel industry. Brought back to its full Art Deco and Edwardian glory, The Savoy is now bigger and better than ever. The jewel in the crown of London's hotels now has several new features and much of what came before has had a full face lift. Immaculate rooms, exquisite dining and the finest of décor make of The Savoy the only place to stay in this town. It proves that class is timeless.

The beautiful gothic St Pancras Renaissance Hotel, now almost 140 years old, is located right next to King's Cross St Pancras, which might not be in the most glamorous of neighbourhoods, but the hotel's 1800 period charm is unbeatable. The enormous hotel raised to the grey London skies with its stern-looking clock tower and turrets, looks extremely daunting, but once inside, the atmosphere is cosy and warm. A great place to stay for business people needing to be close to the station, but also a fun and unusual experience for leisure guests. The only hotel in the country to be built right on the railway, the St Pancras Renaissance is one of a kind; if you do not decide to stay here, try dropping in for a coffee or lunch at The Booking Office or Gilbert Scott.

The exclusive St. James's Hotel and Club is appropriately tucked away discreetly at the end of a cul-de-sac behind The Ritz on Piccadilly. While perhaps not quite of the same standing as its West End neighbour, the property is nonetheless a class act and has a history and following to rival that of any London hotel. The guestrooms are decorated and appointed to the highest standards and feature every amenity expected of a place like St. James's. As well as Michelin star dining and a service of the utmost attention to detail, the hotel still operates as a club to the rich and famous so you never know who you will be rubbing shoulders with when you stay here. More of a couples' or individual hotel, the St. James's is the place to come for intimacy, discretion and privacy.

The legendary luxury Italian jeweller, Bulgari, opens his third hotel worldwide after Milan and Bali. Following the same - very stylish - lines as the original Bulgari hotel in Milan, the 78-room London hotel is run by Ritz-Carlton, and delivers the promise of a luxury affair, complete with private holistic spa, swimming pool and hydrotherapy steam rooms. Designer Antonio Citterio, responsible for the Milan hotel, has come up with the interior design for the guest rooms at the Knightsbridge hotel, while architects Squire and Partners are responsible for delivery of the project. Silver is a central theme of the design, drawing on Bulgari's history with silversmiths and jewellery, and the theme influences the design of all the public spaces and bedrooms. The hotel also includes six luxury apartments, a restaurant at lower ground level with a sweeping staircase supported by a silver lit balustrade, a lounge, bar and spirit room.

The first hotel to have opened its doors in the British capital, Brown's Hotel can also boast the fact it was immortalised in the Agatha Christie novel 'At Bertram's Hotel'! The premises have somewhat changed, however, since the days when the famous writer stayed here. Yet although the hotel now offers a contemporary and designer setting, its walls still hold the atmosphere of the past...

The Sanderson is one of those hotels in the world that you just have to stay at, at least once. It is a must for its unusual decoration (not that of a classic hotel) and 'way out there' atmosphere, whether you stay to dine or have a drink. Wealthy regulars will spend several nights here.

This former town hall in East London represents one of the most remarkable transformations of any building in the capital. While most of the edifice's original architectural features have been guarded, this has not been seen as an obstacle to introducing a highly contemporary design into the hugely spacious rooms, world-class restaurant and divine pool and gym. Add to this a unique art project, great service and a vibrant history and you get one of the most unconventional hotels in London. Recommended for all types of traveller, especially those who are tired of staying in the town centre and are looking for an alternative location.
