Hotel near Piccadilly

[sasguru]

I usually recommend the Rathbone to foreign friends.
Not as well known as the big ones, but fulfils all your criteria and great location. Reasonable rates as well.

Highly recommended.

Athenaeum
Metropolitan
Intercontinental
Crowne Plaza

Which one?

I don't fancy the Ritz. And we're only staying one night, so additional services aren't interesting.

Intercontinental and Crowne Plaza should both be alright. They are more business hotels though so depends on what you are looking for.

Forgot to say. Ask for a room at the back not facing the street.

Not as good these days - the rates are reasonable for a reason. I stayed there once and found some dirty underwear behind the bed awning.

Who are the Bridges and Tunnels brigade? They sound quite interesting.

People from Essex and Kent - Refers to the concrete bridges and tunnels on the A12, A127, M25, M2 etc.

But went for Intercontinental. They've got a sauna. Thanks all.
