Due to my behaviour of always travelling to London when I take a day off work, I always get asked where the best hotel in London is so I thought I'd show you my favourite place to stay!
The Grosvenor Hotel is owned by Guoman hotels and is situated next to Victoria Station. I have stayed in this hotel three times in the last 18 months and I now find it difficult to stay elsewhere in the city. From the moment you walk in, the interior just takes your breath away. The reception area is full of friendly staff, gorgeous floral displays and an amazing attention to detail in every area. The staircase leading to the cocktail bar always makes me feel like I'm in a movie when I walk down it and the chandelier just screams decadence.
The rooms are very comfortable with everything I need as a landing pad for all of my shopping and my tired feet! There's a docking station in every room, a huge TV and a well-stocked bathroom for those moments when you really need to relax. More importantly free wi-fi all day everyday!
I'm normally travelling alone or with my sister and always worry about late nights in the city but I feel extremely safe due to a special corridor that links the hotel to Victoria Station that is open 24 hours 7 days a week. I don't even have to go outside if I need to go to the shop as Victoria Station is packed with every food outlet you could need, a WHSmiths and a Boots. There's even a Krispy Kreme! (There may or may not have been a weekend of Krispy Kreme addiction.)
I am a member of the Signature Club which gives more rewards the more you stay. So far I have been able to take advantage of a free Sunday night stay and a late 6pm checkout which has been a godsend. It's the little touches like this that really make a hotel special.
Out of the Guoman family of hotels I have also stayed at the perfectly situated Cumberland Hotel at Marble Arch which too exceeded my expectations. I am desperate to stay at the Charing Cross Hotel on The Strand next time I'm in London following it's renovations, I've heard good things and I've never stayed in that area.
