Where to Stay in London
London is packed with hotels to suit all budgets and tastes, and with so many to choose from it can be difficult to know where to start. Deciding on your proposal location and then finding a hotel in the same part of London is often a good plan as getting from one side of London to the other can take a lot longer than you expect, even if you take the underground. Here are some very romantic hotels that are guaranteed to impress your future bride.
Budget Blowing Hotels in London
If you really want to treat your future wife and you’re happy to splash out on a really memorable stay, there are several well known top quality hotels in London where you can mingle with film stars and socialites. These include Claridges, a luxury five star Art Deco hotel with impeccable service, and The Dorchester, the epitome of sheer indulgence and traditional values, which are both located in the heart of Mayfair.
The Savoy Hotel is another luxurious option and its location alongside the Thames makes it ideal for a riverside proposal, while also being very convenient for the theatre district. The Savoy has been recently renovated and the Art Deco and English Edwardian interiors are superb. For the ultimate in sophistication, you could check into the famous Ritz, located on Piccadilly near Green Park.
