    Lastminute has the Athenaeum "Top West End Hotel" at £150, I like this hotel a lot, service is impeccable, the room's aren't huge but they've been furnished recently and excellently. Food isn't the best for a 5* hotel so I would eat somewhere else.
    Also, there's the May Fair Hotel "Luxurious hotel in Mayfair with Spa" for £138.49 but it isn't exactly the same kind of quality.

    Too Right!! Isn't that the one where the likes of Kerry Katona, Peaches Geldof and Nicola McClean tend to hang out courting tabloid attention? :embarasse

    Can't say for absolutely certain, though I'm sure it's come up on the thread before, but this sounds a lot like it might be the Hilton Docklands Riverside which is actually in Rotherhithe on the opposite side of the river from Canary Wharf. Nearest Tubes would be Rotherhithe, Canada Water and Surrey Quays, all about 10-15 minutes walk I reckon.


    Actually it's the Crowne Plaza London Docklands. I know your mum was willing to travel but I think that's a bit too far to be fun. I'm doing a bit of a search to see what else is around for her at the moment.

    Park Plaza Victoria 116 b&b (tripsta)
    Riverbank Park Plaza 116 b&b (otel)
    Park Plaza Westminster Bridge £118 (olotels) - this one has a pool

    I love the Athenaeum, haven't stayed at the Cadogan myself but it's supposed to be really good as well. You said location was a big factor - these two are the most central.

    Decor at the Athenaeum I think is slightly more contemporary, Cadogan more traditional, so it's a question of taste as well.

    Big thank you to Pelican, i stayed at the Athenaeum on Friday night and it was wonderful.
  • Hi. We are wanting a 5* hotel in central London for next Friday. Can you tell what the different top secret ones are on lastminute for that night?
    Thanks

    My understanding is that you have to pay £25 to use the pool at the millenium copthorne at chelsea

    That's why I didn't describe it as having a pool ;)
