The hotel and resort industry in the world has probably reached its zenith, with hotels and resorts around the world offering lavish accommodation, royal treatment, and a host of the most unique and satisfying services and amenities. Regardless of where one if hoping to spend one's hard earned vacation, finding the perfect base is a decision that can make or break a holiday experience.
A conveniently placed luxury hotel should be every travellers aim and selecting such an establishment is dependent on which attractions and activities one hopes to enjoy in the destination and the location of the same and the hotels located closest to these venues. Regardless of their reputation, luxury accommodation doesn't always occupy prime real estate in the heart of a tourist destination. Most large scale resorts and hotel chains often base their hotels in suburbs or within easy distance of the city due to the lack of space available in the city itself. A traveller's base location is an important factor that can impact the success or failure of a vacation as it determines the time and money spent on travel as well as the ease of access to key points of interest.
To name some of the luxury hotels in London are The Dorchester, Park Lane, which has been graced by dignitaries and celebrities around the globe, COMO Metropolitan London, also located in Park Lane, it's where you can relax your heart's content. Offering stylish, spacious rooms, Haymarket Hotel, Piccadilly is set amidst the hustle and bustle of this energetic part of the metropolis. The striking St Pancras Renaissance, Kings Cross is conveniently located adjoining St. Pancras Railway Station.
From renowned retail hubs such as Harrods, John Lewis, Harvey Nichols, Selfridges and Debenhams to the Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co and Burberry outlets down Mayfair and Bond Street luxury shoppers will have plenty of high-end retail options at their disposal. A fashion capital of truly grand proportions the department store havens of the British capital offer shopaholics the latest trends off the catwalks of London. Budget shoppers, on the other hand, can look into local brand legends such as Carnaby as well as the bustling markets in Covent Garden and Monmouth Street. Cosmetic fanatics should head down to Neal Street while Seven Dials and Floral Street all offer exciting offers for bargain hunters. As in everything, deciding on what one hopes to purchase in London and narrowing down the retail hubs that catch one's fancy will go a long way in saving both time and money.
