London Business Hotels

With London's global position as one of the most significant cities in the world in terms of business and industry, it's very important that London has a good level of quality accommodations for the many corporate visitors who travel to the capital on business trips through the year. Particularly with the City of London still maintaining its position as the center of World finance, there are an abundance of overseas and domestic visitors requiring the comfort and facilities of first class hotels in the city.

Since the days of the 70s when sometimes the Park Lane Hilton was seen as the place to stay when on a business trip to London, all the major international hotels have build hotels aimed at the business traveler in the city, in fact most hotel chains have numerous properties through the capital (Hilton Hotels now number 34 in total including the airports and the London outskirts!). Holiday Inn, Accor Hotels, Marriott Hotels and Thistle Hotels but to name a few, all have business hotels through London with a high level of comfort and a large range of facilities aimed mainly at the corporate traveler. New players to the London market also boast very good business hotels - H10 for example and the Park Plaza Hotel chain have gone out of their way to provide rooms suited for business people - the Park Plaza Westminster, for example, is an all suite hotel featuring rooms with a small lounge and kitchenette in addition to a generous sized bedroom and fabulous location close to Westminster Bridge. Privately owned up market hotels are also designed with corporate in mind - the Cadogan Hotel near Harrods department store and the Ritz Hotel in London's Piccadilly street both provides not just good facilities and first class quality but also a discerning service for the more upmarket level of clients associated with such grand business hotels.

Rooms in all these types of hotels have the typical facilities you would expect in a room like this, as well as the rooms and suites. power showers (or 'rain' showers). Internet connectivity generally via Wifi is also a must now with more and more hotels finding themselves forced through competition (and negative comments from guests) to providing this service free of charge. The business hotels provide the guests with excellent dining facilities - generally a full English breakfast and a choice of restaurants within the hotel for dinner at surprisingly reasonable prices. After a busy days doing business in the city, sometimes a good rewarding drink is required and the hotels accommodate well with their welcoming cocktail bars which, particularly during the happy hour period from 5 - 7pm, can be the place to be if you're in the right hotel!
