Good quality Four star hotels
Britannia International Hotel: Canary Wharf, Docklands. The heart of the Port of London. The BI International Hotel is a standard 4 star hotel Located 25 miles from Heathrow Airport and 48 miles from Gatwick Airport. A real modern trophy Hotel. Situated in the heart of the Port of London. Set around a stunning variety of Docks and pedestrian bridges including the Water's Edge, adjacent To Canary Wharf.
Cadogan hotel: Knightsbridge. One of the most sought after residential parts of London. Good place to hide for a couple of days.
Carlton hotel: Belgravia the diplomatic area of London where most embassies are.
City Inn hotel: Westminster. 
A good 10 minutes walk to the nearest Underground station. Modern style hotel, part of a small chain of UK hotels. Smoky entrance hall. Busy with Governement looking executives on weekly days and deserted look at week-ends.
Chancery hotel: Holborn WC1. Near the City, the finanncial and business centre of the country.
Churchill hotel: Marylebone. Hyatt Regency Group. How boring! Another hotel trying to change name! Ideal for International Incentives.
Conran hotel: Fulham.
Beautiful, luxurious, romantic location, miles from Trafalgar Square and almost miles away from any Central London historic places, accentuated by the perennial traffic jam of West London.
Dukes hotel: Recently bought by the son of the very well known, admired and respected hotel magnate, Lord Forte, this hotel is an old favourite grand British style hotel with top decor and beauty in spite of its narrow entrance. It is known to be a very expensive hotel, but it is situated in a lovely position. Surrounded by places such as: Mayfair, Green Park and Piccadilly. Yet, a quite location, off the main road.
Forum hotel: Holiday Inn Kensington now. What twisted mind invented the same name for the Holiday Inn across the road and seem to enjoy the continuos, endless stream of tourists running around and across the busy road, looking for the right Holiday Inn. Cromwell Road, but the main entrance is facing a lovely Victorian line of terraced houses. A pleasing hall, very chic atmosphere, enormous size modern skyscraper with lost of personality.
Great Eastern Hotel: right above Liverpool Street railway and underground stations. The area is deserted at night and very vibrant during the day. Like so many of the recent minimalist hotel refurbishments, very luxury the look, but cold and impersonal. this one has a huge entrance hall and as you look up you are faced with a grand staircase. A mixture of grandeur and follie.
Grosvenor House hotel: Park Lane and Mayfair entrances. The old lady of London hotels. Superb decor, elegant and good quality cuisine. Slightly slower concierge service than one is expecting for the price.
Hilton Euston, Still fairly Central London, small, 4 star budget, but would be considerably cheaper. The following hotels are similar:
Howard hotel: Embankment. Good central location. Luxury surroundings. Top quality food. Professional staff. Location: very good. Near the Strand, the City, a walking distance from Trafalgar Square, Soho, Piccadilly and facing the North bank of the river Thames.
Kingsway Hall Hotel: Covent Garden or more like Holborn as a location. Near the Strand the theatreland of London, WC2.
Le Meridien hotel: Piccadilly. Reputed to suffer from snooty staff discriminating on clients origins by the use of erratic service.
Le Meridien Gatwick hotel: Very useful for overnight stay at the airport, top class hotel with rooms insulated from the aircrafts noise.
Lowndes hotel: Belgravia, SW1. Tranquil, residential area with a new supermarket bringing the mostly, mature residents out more often.
Mandarin Oriental hotel: Knightsbridge near Harrods. Fantastic Edwardian architecture. Very classic good quality English hotel with lovely restaurant overlooking the South part of Hyde Park.
Marriott hotel: Waterloo SE1, 
South bank of the river Thames with stunning view of the Big Ben and London. Unfortunately, because it was redeveloped from a Grade II protected building, once the London Great Council Town Hall, it had to keep most of the original interiors, Result? A pecular shape, maze-like place with austere and at times, depressing atmosphere.
Millennium hotel: Gloucester Road. Convenient for Heathrow Airport. West London hotel with a grand entrance. restaurant with fast service. Used by many overseas travel agents and tour operators. Very international atmosphere and a modest, friendly Casino next door. Remember to register with your passport the previous day. You can bring three friends with you. After that, you must stay with them as you are responsible for their actions.
Rembrandt hotel: Kensington. Located few minutes away from Harrods the world's renowned department store, a walking distance from Hyde Park and directly opposite some of the best London museums, it is the best location if you have children and if you like shopping.
Riverbank hotel: Albert Embankment. 
Brand new luxury hotel overlooking the South bank of the river Thams. A stunning view of London. The food is excellent, the staff very friendly and nice. The terrace ideal for receptions.
Royal Garden hotel: High Street Kensington. Another old, cosy place. It has not been renovated for a while, but it has large number of followers among the British crowd and many Charity do's are held there. Grand entrance, good food, teatime here is very typical and with a lovely atmosphere.
Sheraton hotel: Knightsbridge. About a mile from Piccadilly and Trafalgar Square and near the luxury shops that are growing every year around Harrods, the hotel has its own casino and good quality restaurant. Many colourful gossips in and around this modern style hotel.
Wardolf hotel: Aldwych, Historic past and architecture but partly refurbished in the minimalist style recently. Result? Ugly! Partly period, partly contemporary? A mish-mash only saved from complete ruin by the excellent Central London location.
Westbury hotel: Decadent hotel in Bond Street still popular choice for Japanese groups. Location is fantastic, but very modest past refurbishment mean that some rooms are not top standard.

Alternative, low budget 4 star like hotels
Browns hotel: Mayfair. One the classic oldie, small, cosy, English style hotels. Not for you if you are fussy!
Cavendish hotel: St. James's W1. Old style small hotel.
City Westminster hotel: Sandwiched between a busy road junction with an added walking facility to cure the problem but still lacking atmosphere and small narrow entrance hall.
Copthorne Tara hotel: High Street Kensington, a real gem, large entrance hall, friendly staff, good restaurant and frequest entertainment for both the tuorist and the corporate clients, but location difficult for the older visitors as it is a far walk from most areas they wish to visit.
Crowne Plaza St James is a standard 4 star near Buckingham Palace.
Cumberland hotel: Very Central location facing in part Hyde Park and Park Lane. Completely refurbished in a minimalist style. Rather cold and impersonal entrance hall. Noisy rooms above delivery service areas and areas facing Oxford Street, in spite of glazed windows. Some rooms are amazing: (we advice you to check out room 1005 bathroom) reports of cold shower before being able to reach hot water tap to change the temperature!
Crown Plaza Royal Dock: Isolated and difficult to reach. Attracts both a budget client and being next to the Excell Exhibition hall, business clients. It does not appear to have as high quality standard as its sister City hotel and clients are faced with very expensive taxi fairs, as it is in the very East of London, a long distance from the West End.
Harrington Hall hotel: Kensington South. Is this the one charging clients just for touching a drink bottle?

Drury Lane hotel: Near the British Museum, the National Museum of Archealogy, it reminds as of a post war bunker.

Jurys: Great Russell Street. One of the best London locations, but too 'cosmopolitan' surroundings for the un-initiated. Would you leave your young teenagers loose there? Maybe not.
Landmark hotel: Marylebone Road, NW1 . A long walk up towards North London. Next to a raylway station with all its inconvenience, one way system and slow moving traffic jams
London Bridge Hotel: Situated on the South Bank of the river Thames next to London Bridge Railway station, SE1. Nice modern and convenient for bankers and City workers.
Marble Arch hotel: Just about four star rating, because of the eccellent central location. Unbelievably ugly entrance, some people look mistified when they are initially faced with an escalator. Good restaurant and breakfast room. Most of the times it gives the impression of a seaport.
Mayfair hotel: Currently being refurbished and inconvenienced
Trafalgar hotel: of the Thistle group. Off Trafalgar Square. Just behind the National Gallery. Superb location. It has seen better times in the past. Run down.
