London Is A Great City For A Vacation

There are many reasons to visit London, particularly if you are on vacation. If you come to the city on business then you may only be here for a few days, and it’s a case of “touch down, do the business, and back home again” which is fair enough. You may not have either the time or the inclination to stay any longer than you have to.

However, London has 19 million visitors a year, and a large percentage of them come to the city on vacation and in order to see the sights – and there are plenty of those. There are some incredible buildings to visit such as Buckingham Palace – the residence of the Queen, colloquially known as “Buck House” – the Houses of Parliament with Big Ben (although it is being restored and is covered with scaffold at present), the Tower of London with Tower Bridge right opposite it, and a host of museums, art galleries, parks, and more.

Hotels in shi rdimkm – Why Stay In A London Hotel When You Can Rent An Apartment?

Visiting London for the first time is always an exciting experience, whether you are here on holiday or on business. Of course, if you are here on business you may not have time to see all the sights that you would like to, yet it is to be hoped that you can spend a few hours seeing some of the more important ones such as Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London. It is at least another memory to take back home with you, and who knows? You may come back to see the rest of the city on holiday.

One thing is certain when you visit London, and that is that you need somewhere to stay. Of course, there are lots of hotels in Central London and many people do book into them, but there are alternatives which many folks have never considered, perhaps because they didn’t know that they existed. It is a fact that you can rent apartments in Central London – even in the heart of Mayfair – and these are often preferable to a hotel bedroom.

Renting An Apartment In Central London When Visiting With Your Family Is A “No-Brainer”

London is a great city. Indeed, many Londoners would say that it is the best city in the world. Whether or not that is the case is a matter of opinion, but when you consider that it has 19 million visitors a year – almost double the population – it certainly seems that a lot of people want to visit.

Some, of course, may be visiting because they have to – foreign statesmen, people on business, and so on, but many come just because they want to, and they have heard about the amazing sights of London and its’ history – such as the Tower of London – and want to come and see for themselves.

A One Bedroom Apartment Has Many Advantages Over A Hotel

If you are coming to London, whether on your own or with a partner, have you considered staying in an apartment rather than a hotel? You can rent a 1 bedroom apartment in Central London for considerably less than you would pay for a hotel room, and the longer you stay the more money you will save. There is, of course, VAT included in the rent for an apartment at a rate of 20%. However, if you are staying for longer than a month, that rate is reduced to 4% after the first 30 days, so you will save even more.

There are just so many benefits to staying in an apartment in Central London. To begin with, when you stay in a hotel you have a room which is basically a bedroom. When you have a one bedroom apartment you have the bedroom, of course, but you also have a reception/living room and you have a fully fitted kitchen as a minimum. That’s three times what you have in a hotel, and you might also have a separate dining room and utility room as well.

Visiting London? Hotels -V- Serviced Apartments

When you are visiting London for anything other than a flying trip of a day, you will need somewhere to stay. There are quite literally dozens and dozens of hotels from which to choose, a lot of them very “upmarket” and consequently very expensive. If you are only staying for a few days – less than a week – you may be prepared to put up with a hotel room, but anything longer can start to get tedious. You are basically trapped in a small room on your own, or perhaps with a partner, and that is your life on hold for however long you plan to be in the city.

Compare that with living at home. You come and go as you please. You cook what you want when you want. You have your own belongings around you and you are not living out of a suitcase. You have space. You have a nice sofa which you can stretch out on and relax. Possibly one of the most important things is that you have privacy. You are not crammed into a building with two or three hundred people – or maybe many more – as you are in a hotel.

Luxury Mayfair Apartments Have So Much More To Offer than A Hotel

Whether you are visiting London on business or bringing the family for a holiday, the best place to stay is not one of the many famous London hotels. They are famous because lots of people stay in them - many of whom have so much money they are not worried about the cost – and they certainly do provide a good service.

However, you are far better off from a financial point of view, especially if you are with your family, renting one of the luxury apartments in Mayfair, London, that are available for short and long term rent. If you are a family of four, you are going to need at least two hotel bedrooms, and possibly three if you have a boy and a girl who are teenagers and need separate rooms. Luxury apartments in Mayfair, London, can be found with two bedrooms, three, or even more, for far less than the equivalent in a hotel. 

However, it is not just the cost factor that is important. The plain truth is that in an apartment you will have far more room than you ever will in a hotel. In a hotel you have your room and that’s it. If you want to sit in the lounge you can do – along with 100 other people. If you want a drink you can sit in the bar – again along with 100 other people – and pay the eye-watering prices that hotel bars charge in Central London. 

In one of the luxury apartments in Mayfair, London, you not only have privacy because you have it to yourself, but you have much more space. Along with however many bedrooms you have, you will have a bathroom – or two – a fully fitted kitchen, and a nice sitting room/lounge/reception room, or whatever you wish to call it, where you can relax on the sofa in comfort, watch TV, play cards, or anything else that you wish. What’s more, you can enjoy a drink from a bottle you bought at shop prices rather than paying hotel rates.

When you are visiting London, choosing to stay in a luxury apartment is what is referred to these days as a “no-brainer”.

So Much To See And Do On A London Holiday

London is one of the world’s greatest cities to visit for a holiday. There is so much to see and do here that you wouldn’t see everything even if you stayed for three months. If you stay in the centre of the city in the West End, which incorporates Mayfair, there are many things to do which are within walking distance. In any event, walking is very often quicker than a taxi because, in common with every other capital city, the traffic is terrible.

If you stay in one of the luxury apartments in Mayfair, you have some of the world’s finest shopping right on your doorstep. Oxford Street, Bond Street, Regent Street, Piccadilly, and Knightsbridge are all to hand. If you want to go for a walk in the park, then Green Park and Hyde Park are easily available, and in Hyde Park you can go for a swim in the Serpentine or hire a boat, sit in the sun by one of the cafes, or even hire a horse and go riding along Rotten Row. Yes, really, you can go riding in Central London!

Staying in one of the luxury apartments in Mayfair also puts you within reach of famous museums, art galleries, the finest restaurants, and even the Royal Albert Hall if you are a music fan. Here you can listen to the BBC Promenade Concerts which take place for six weeks every year towards the end of summer.

Of course, many visitors to London stay in one of the well-known hotels which are luxurious but extremely pricey. However, if you rent one of the luxury apartments in Mayfair you will find it costs quite a bit less. That is by no means the only benefit. In a hotel you just have your hotel bedroom and that is it. In a luxury apartment you have so very much more space. At the very least, you will have a bedroom – or bedrooms – a sitting room, bathroom, and fully fitted kitchen, just as you would at home. Another advantage of an apartment is that you can invite guests around, which you can’t do in a hotel bedroom.
