Sleep Tight! in London's finest hotels

As one of Europe's most visited cities, London is a heaving hub of activity offering a quintessential view into British living and culture. The competition to offer visitors the perfect rest-place is fierce for this very reason and you will find a broad spectrum of options ranging from dirt-cheap to ear-blisteringly expensive. In this guide we look at the most interesting options for the more discerning London tourist!

1. Portobello hotel, Notting Hill

One of London's most exclusive hotels is a gem of a hideaway that houses a variety of quirky yet opulent neoclassical rooms. Possibly in one of the hippest areas of London, this Notting Hill converted mansion situated in lovely gardens attracts all the pretty people. For a hotel that is steeped with 30 years of pedigree, prices aren't too bad at £150 a night.

2. Hotel 55, Ealing

This hotel will certainly have you grinning from ear-to-ear as you stroll through the plush automatic glass doors into what seems like an Edwardian mansion set 100 years in the future! This place has the feel of a little sanctuary with its surrounding gardens. Along with the clean lines and carefully chosen furnishings you will find it hard not to fall in love with this charming place. The 25 luxurious rooms, the 24 hour bar and the fact that the underground is right on your doorstep are also useful factors that make this a no-brainer of a choice for a luxury stay in London. Prices are around £85 per night B&B.

3. The Egerton House Hotel, Knightsbridge

Another hotel set within a very fashionable address, this upmarket hotel is popular with foreign business owners visiting London for deal wrangling. The Egerton can provide you with your own chauffeur driven Bentley or Range Rover if you feel inclined to do so and some of London's finest attractions are on your doorstep such as Harrods and the Natural History Museum. Prices come in at a princely £300 a night for a starter room.
