I take the view if you don't tell HMRC how are they going to find out.
My client books all my hotels for me. The BU Directors PA does it - my arguement is that to me the room is £250. To massive client co the hotel next to the office is £80 to them due to the purchasing power and that there are 30 other people in there. More than happy to pay 3x as much for a hotel and send them the bill but I don't think they are.
One thing that does work in my favour is that client co owns a hotel - but contractors are not allowed to stay in it. Instead we have to use hotels so that's a pointer in the other direction.
