Welcome to my review of The Savoy London; a stunning 5-star hotel located on the Strand. The location was marvellous, the restaurant options fantastic and the accommodation itself was some of the best that we have experienced when staying in the capital city.

Welcome to my review of The St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel London. Stepping into the grandeur of the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel in London is like embarking on a journey through time, where Victorian splendour meets modern luxury, and every moment is infused with a sense of opulence and history.

Welcome to a realm of opulence and refinement, where timeless elegance converges with modern allure—welcome to the epitome of luxury, the Four Seasons Hotel London at Ten Trinity Square.

Stepping into the Adria Hotel in London is like embarking on a luxurious journey through time and elegance, where every moment promises comfort, charm, and an unforgettable experience. This is my review of The Adria Hotel; a stunning 19th Century 5-star townhouse boutique hotel located in South Kensington, London. The location was good and the townhouse afforded a small boutique atmosphere with only 24 rooms and suites across the upper four levels of this white painted Georgian house.t

In this review of The Beaumont Hotel in London, I’ll detail my experience of the location, the restaurants, and of course the accommodation and facilities at the hotel itself. Read below to find out everything you need to know before your next trip to London.

Cardiff was somewhere I’d never been before, so being invited by Eat PR & Marketing for a short weekend stay at Voco in Cardiff Bay, I was looking forward to the opportunity to visit a new location and new hotel, as well as being my first Voco hotel stay too (a group of currently 41 open hotels with 34 more in the pipeline). Any reviews though by The Private Traveller are completely independent.

This new hotel, self-styled as the world’s first super boutique hotel opened in September 2021, slightly later than planned but was obviously impacted by Covid. It had been on my radar for a while and I was eagerly anticipating when I’d be able to visit, so I was very lucky to be able to stay for a weekend in March 2022.

There is the saying “Location, location, location” that I often use in hotel reviews or blog posts, and I think One Aldwych has to be one of the best examples of why that phrase can be so important. The hotel is so easily accessible, this trip we took the train and it was a very short taxi ride from King’s Cross station, and would equally be very easy by underground (the Tube) too had there not been a strike on the day we arrived.

As much as I love to revisit favourite five star hotels when in London, I also like to try out new properties and locations too. L’Oscar had come onto my radar a while back (it’s been open for just over three years now) but we had to cancel a trip last summer due to Covid, and (almost a year to day) were able to reschedule it.

Having had to cancel a trip to Positano in Italy at short notice due to the change in Covid-19 travel restrictions, we decided to look for somewhere within the UK and opted for a two-centre short break between Gleneagles and The Fife Arms (you can read my full review on The Gleneagles Hotel here).

Our stay, booked through Leading Hotels of the World, was quite a last minute booking having had to cancel Le Sirenuse in Positano (Amalfi Coast, Italy) due to changes in Italian legislation regarding Covid-testing for UK arrivals. I had accumulated a number of points through the Leaders Club membership, so paid cash for the first night then booked a couple of extra nights using points.

I’ve loved this hotel ever since it opened, it was a game-changer in terms of the standard of hotels at Heathrow, not least because of the direct connection to the Terminal 5 building. I love everything about airports and travel, so being able to stay so close in such nice surroundings and, with the runway views if you’re lucky enough to be located in the outward facing parts of the hotel, this makes for a fantastic stay.

Quite a different accommodation choice for ThePrivateTraveller - this was actually chosen by “Mrs” ThePrivateTraveller as a Christmas present; but as soon as I found out about it I loved the idea; and it certainly didn’t disappoint.

Tresanton is a small, ultra luxe boutique hotel in a cluster of traditional Cornish houses overlooking the sea. You will get a flavour from the hotel website but this is so elegantly designed and presented, with excellent unassuming service.

We flew to London the night before and stayed over at the Hotel Sofitel London Heathrow - this is in such a great location and connected directly to the terminal.

We visit London quite often and there are so many great places to stay. The Landmark doesn’t tend to be as high profile as some, but it’s an amazing location and hotel.

I soon spotted the Cow Hollow Hotel, not least for the captivating name (named after a neighbourhood district in San Francisco apparently), but realising this was voted (currently) #4 out of 123 in Manchester for Traveller Ranking and #1 for Best Value I decided quite quickly that would be the place to stay. A fully restored and converted Victorian brick warehouse, this really is a cool and hip boutique hotel.

Whenever we stay in London my first “go to” site to check hotels is the Leading Hotels of the World. We have stayed quite a number of times as The Café Royal near Piccadilly, The Landmark at Marylebone, One Aldwych and The Langham when it was part of this group too.
