There has to be something really special about a swanky 5 star hotel for me to want to write about it. I'd much rather find a cosy little B&B, or a cute guesthouse with a unique history. I'm not one for swanky places that are entirely out of my price range.
But I can't help be swept off my high heels by 41 in London. It's on the doorstep of Buckingham Palace, and it looks glorious. I want a hallway like that.
Just look at that dining room! Every inch of this hotel oozes old school glamour. It's the kind of place I'd spend all night drinking brandy in. So it's probably a good thing that you get complimentary canapes, because I'd be tipsy.
And when I've drunk too much and I'm a little unsteady on my feet, I'd really like to sleep in this giant bed. I might never get out again.
Of course, given the fabulous black and white decor, and the location on Buckingham Palace Road, this hotel doesn't come in cheap. It's about £350 for a night. But, they do offer 3-for-2 deals, and if you're lucky you'll get a last minute rate. But until I can afford to stay here (and justify it, given that Sluttery HQ is only 30 minutes away), I'll visit that beautiful dining room for drinks and pretend I'm on a fancy holiday. That's almost as good, right?

I need to figure out how to replicate the floor from that hallway somewhere in my maisonette. I think it may prove to be a challenge.
ReplyDeleteI stayed here for Valentines a couple of years back, it was superb.
