For visitors to London who want to feel at home when they're away, we recommend a boutique hotel. Intimately sized, with welcoming staff who go out of their way to look after you, boutique hotels have the character, atmosphere and personality that bigger establishments sometimes struggle to provide. The rooms are usually all different, so that even regular guests have a different experience each time. And because boutique hotels are often created in re-developed city-centre buildings, they have great locations and bags of architectural character.
