The penthouse at the Zetter hotel without a doubt...

Try this place. I heard about it through the Money Saving Website. If you are lucky you can stay there for just a quid....

Great for art lovers I reckon!

This is where well to do men take their mistresses...... so I've been told. www.blakeshotels.com/

[craigmccluskey]

Try, last minute.com secret hotels , ive always had a great hotel and paid half the price i would have by booking through the hotel

[twist65]

I've forgotten the name of a cracking hotel I stayed at in London - it had its own little cinema in there and some nice art including a dog statue made out of Beanos & Dandys if I remember correctly. Been trying to think of its name all day but its gone..! Maybe someone else can name it from this very sketchy description..!

I live around the corner from Blakes and regularly see shifty looking old dudes with young pretty sorts going back and fourth.

For something more bohemian and novel, try the Troubadour. Its a great old music venue/ancient coffee house/gallery (just around the corner from Blakes in South Ken/Earls Court). And has only one room to let. Philippe Starck double bed (2.5m square), antique furniture, a double sofa bed, kitchenette, high powered shower and free WiFi etc.

very nice restaurant there - asia de cuba....Book via the toptable website and get the bento box (which is really tasty and filling) and Mojito for £25...Not bad considering a Mojito on its own there is £15.....Good looking restaurant, designed by Philipe Stark.

very sound choice

[kahuna]

Sanderson is a good choice. Rooms at St Martins Lane are crap.

Mandarin Oriental on Knightsbridge always impresses the ladies

[DYL4N]

I know its off topic, but with so many hotels in London, im not sure whats good or bad!

My head is being pickled by last minute.com etc! Good reviews/bad reviews etc for the same hotel

Does anyone know of any centrally located i.e. Bayswater/Kensington etc, for about £100 per night, gotta stay there for 5 days at the end of the month, hence the budget!

Any comments appreciated

Hoxton Hotel, but its in Shoreditch still central mind....and a favorite with forum members.

[Sacked...]

The Hoxton has a deal on at mo' :

urbanartassociation.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=34643

[graeme501]

i like that, but only when its £1 or £25 per room, otherwise its out of my £30 a night london hotel price range

[dynamixx]

Last Minute secret hotels are always a winner, for less than a ton you can get 4 star luxury in good locations, don't tell anyone but you might well end up staying in the Hilton if you chose wisely.

Oh dear, why is this shit allowed?

[bullet]

whats wrong with that?

[dynamixx]

Our prejudiced friend suggests to avoid a particular group of hotels because they might have a high number people of a particular race, wealthy or not, and you're question what's wrong with that?

[brun]

seems like someone doesnt really know what racism is and what it isnt is what i fucking wrote , i have nothing against arabs , just making a comment on a particular type of person who frequents hotels in kensington since i used to live round there , i didnt mention anything racist did i ? wealthy arabs exist as do wealthy jews, catholics, nigerians, americans , british , chinese, whoever ............
geez this is PC gone mad ..call the cops (or is that racist too ?)
