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.

More Serviced Apartments Than Ever Are Available To Rent In Mayfair

Visitors flock to London in their thousands every year. In fact, it is a case of millions – some 19 million every year, which works out at well in excess of 350,000 extra people in the city every week. That means that a lot of beds are needed, and of course this is the reason for the proliferation of (very expensive) hotels in London. Many of these hotels are internationally renowned and do provide a very good service – at a price. 

However, the influx of so many visitors has brought about another phenomenon, and that is the rise in the number of London serviced apartments in Mayfair that are becoming available to rent. Savvy entrepreneurs are taking advantage of visitors who don’t want to stay in the confines of a hotel, yet still want the luxury combined with the much greater privacy that you get in an apartment. 

Of course, these property owners know that their visitors want luxury as well as the privacy and extra space that London serviced apartments in Mayfair provide, so you will find that the furnishings – carpets, chairs, bedding, and so on – are of the finest quality. The latest HDTVs are installed, and there is often a music system. Some apartments have things such as air conditioning, since London can get quite hot in the summer, while it is known that others have installed underfloor heating for the winter. 

Almost every serviced apartment provides a maid service so there is no need to make the beds because the maid does it. Others have things such as 24 hour security and possibly a concierge on hand. Of course, you do have to cook your own evening meal in these London serviced apartments in Mayfair, whereas in a hotel you have a restaurant. However, Mayfair is full of top-class restaurants, many of which are Michelin-starred, so the world is your oyster, so to speak. You don’t ever have to cook dinner if you don’t want to.

The other big advantage of an apartment is that it will be much less expensive than a West End hotel, particularly if you bring the family with you.

Stay In A Boutique Apartment In Mayfair Rather than A Hotel

London is one of the great capital cities of the world, with a population approaching 9 million, speaking a plethora of languages, and a considerable cultural diversity. The city also has some 19 million visitors every year, and the one thing they all have in common – whether they are here to conduct business or here for a holiday – is that they need somewhere to stay.

It is fair to say that the majority of them will stay in a hotel, perhaps because they always have done in the past, or perhaps because they don’t know that there is a very viable alternative, and that is to rent one of the boutique apartments in Mayfair.

Renting one of the boutique apartments in Mayfair has several advantages over staying in a hotel. To begin with, in an apartment you just have so much more space. In a hotel, you just have your room, and that’s it. If you want to sit and watch TV in the evening, you are effectively sitting in your bedroom watching it. In an apartment, you have a reception room/lounge in the same way that you do at home, so you can relax on a sofa, watch TV in comfort, and pour yourself a drink without it costing a small fortune from a minibar. You just buy beer or vodka or whatever your favourite tipple is and pay shop prices rather than hotel prices.

Many of the boutique apartments in Mayfair that are available to rent are fully serviced, so you have a maid to make the beds and do the cleaning. You will have the latest TV sets which usually have access to a multitude of channels, and there may very possibly be a music system installed as well.

Some of these apartments have luxury king sized beds which you often don’t get in a hotel. Another important point is that you can easily invite guests to your apartment which you can’t do in a hotel bedroom. The only thing you don’t get is a restaurant, but then Mayfair has many of the top restaurants in the UK if you want to eat out.

Put Your Staff Up In A London Apartment Rather Than A Hotel

If you are a director of a company who is sending two or three members of staff to London on business – whether it is for a couple of weeks or even several months – you will obviously want to find the most economical way of putting them up. Of course, you can book them into a hotel in Mayfair, but over time it is going to cost a small fortune. A far less expensive way is to book one of the boutique apartments in Central London for the length of their stay, such as those at Carlton Court. 

If you book your staff into a hotel room they will obviously need a single room each, so it is whatever the rate is times three. You can book a three-bedroom apartment for considerably less than three hotel rooms, and there are other cost savings too.

When Visiting London, Stay In An Apartment, Not A Hotel

Some 19 million people visit London every year, and it is fair to say that the majority of them stay in one of the many famous – and not so famous – hotels. However, there is an alternative of which not everyone is aware and that is that you can rent serviced apartments in Mayfair on a short or long term basis. Whether you are staying for a week or for six months, you can stay in your “own” apartment rather than being cooped up in a hotel room along with several hundred other people. 

Carlton Court is situated in Down Street, which is just off Piccadilly and comprises some five apartments which can sleep from two to six people. There is a one bedroom penthouse, another one bedroom flat, two x two bedroom apartments, and a three bedroom apartment which can sleep five or six people.

Serviced Apartments In Central London Beat A Hotel Any Day!

When you come to London – whether on business or for pleasure – you can obviously stay in one of the many well-known London hotels. If you are only staying for a couple of nights this might be quite a good choice, but when you are staying for longer it can become quite stressful in a London hotel. Part of the problem is that they are so big and have so many people constantly coming and going that it seems as though you are living in a huge dormitory.

Your other alternative is to book into one of the Central London serviced apartments that are available. The accent here is on the word “serviced”. With most of these, such as our apartments in Carlton Court, you get the same – or even better levels of service than you would in a hotel. We provide a 7-day housekeeping and maid service so that you never have to lift a finger.

London Is One Of The Greatest Cities In The World

Visiting London on holiday can be a lot of fun. It is one of the greatest cities in the world, and with a population approaching 9 million it is certainly one of the largest. It also has a history dating back to Roman times and has many sights that are hundreds of years old such as the Tower of London.

Having said that, it is also one of the most modern and up to date cities in the world. London is at the forefront of everything and especially when it comes to the arts and to shopping. The city has plenty of red carpet nights for film and theatre, and as for the shopping it compares very well with any other capital anywhere.

Luxury Apartments To Rent In London Are Increasing In Number

London is a wonderful city and a perfect holiday destination for all those people who want to explore the many aspects of a city that was founded in Roman times. It is a very busy place and is cosmopolitan, with people of many different races living here, so there are many different cultures. In fact, the population is approaching the 9 million mark and the city is alive 24 hours a day.

If you are one of the 19 million visitors to London every year, you will need somewhere to stay, and many people do, of course, stay in a hotel.

These are actually increasing in number as visitors have come to realise the benefits of staying in one vis-à-vis a hotel.

The Many Benefits Of London Serviced Apartments

Many visitors to London just book into a hotel because it never occurs to them that there could be an alternative – and better – option. That option is to book into one of the many London serviced apartments that are available to let for a few days or even several months.

Serviced apartments are similar to a hotel in some respects, because you have a maid service to make the bed and do the cleaning, so there is no difference there. In quite a lot of the apartments there is a concierge and a security service, which again is the same as a hotel. But then things start to differ. An apartment is just that. So you have a reception room, a separate bedroom, or rooms if there are more than one.

These may have an en-suite bathroom or there may be a shared bathroom depending on the layout. You also have a fully fitted kitchen, and it will usually also include a washing machine and dryer so that you can do your own laundry.

Hotel Rooms In London Are Quite Small And Cramped

When you come to visit London, you have a choice of places to stay. Many people will, of course, choose one of the hotels in the centre of the city, and it has to be said that they are very good, and some have a great reputation. However, as good as they are, they have certain disadvantages which quite a number of people would wish to avoid.

The first is that hotel rooms are relatively small. They are, after all, running a business, and therefore the more rooms they can cram into a building the more they can let. So in a hotel, you effectively end up watching TV in the evening in the bedroom, getting drinks from the minibar. This may be acceptable if it is only for a day or two, but after that, living out of a suitcase can become quite stressful.

Then there is the lack of privacy. Most of these hotels have a huge number of guests, and it is almost like living in a commune where everyone is herded together. Go to the bar for a drink or sit in the lounge to read your paper and it can be like sitting in the concourse on a major railway station.

London Hotel Rooms Can Be Quite Small And Cramped

Visitors to London may come for many different reasons. Some may come on holiday and want to explore one of the world’s oldest cities dating from Roman times. Some come for the shopping. Others like museums and art galleries, and London has plenty of those. Some may want to visit the theatres, of which there are many. Still other people may have to visit London on business.

However, all these people have one thing in common and that is that they all need somewhere to stay. Central London has very many fine hotels, and they are probably all right if you are only staying for a night or two. However, hotel rooms are really not very large. You may have a minibar and a TV, but sitting in a small room can feel rather cramped, and living out of a suitcase is not most people’s idea of fun when you are on a longer stay.

London Hotels Are Luxurious, But Expensive

If you are planning to visit London for your holiday you may already have started trawling through hotel websites to see what they have to offer and what sort of rates they charge. There are very many hotels in Central London and there is no doubt that they offer comfort and the convenience of having everything that you want to see and do virtually on your doorstep. This is especially so if you are coming to London for the shopping which is as fine as you can get in any city in the world, and better than most.

However, what hotels have to offer is a room with a minibar, a restaurant, and a lounge and bar, and that is about the extent of it. Some may have more than one bar, and some may have more than one restaurant. As for the prices, well they are nothing short of astronomical. We just checked with Booking.com for a two night stay for two at the Savoy, and the only room they had was £1,026. That’s in October when prices are beginning to fall off rather than in the height of the season. Even so, that works out at over £3,500 for a week’s stay, and there are a lot of hotel rooms that are considerably more than that.

Staying In A Luxury Apartment In London Rather Than A Hotel

Many visitors to London today are choosing to stay in one of the luxury apartments London has to offer rather than a hotel. There are now some 19 million visitors to London every year – that’s around two and a half times the population – and of course many do stay in a hotel. If you are only visiting for a short break of a few days, then a hotel may suffice, but it becomes a bit tedious for many people having to live out of a suitcase for any longer than that. 

 A London hotel is so impersonal. There may be hundreds of guests, yet you could stay there for a month and never get to know anyone. Then there is the cost. Apart from the cost of the room itself, there is the cost of eating in the restaurant, and as for the bar prices you could be forgiven for thinking that they thought of a figure and then trebled it just to be on the safe side!

A Luxury Apartment Is Best For A Long Stay In London

Some people visit London on business for only a couple of days, while others may be on an assignment for several months. If you are only here for a couple of days you’ll probably stop in a hotel: check in, unpack your suitcase, then check out again a couple of days later.

luxury serviced apartments in London in Mayfair. This gives you much more space because, as a minimum you will have a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and your own reception room. Many of these apartments have a daily maid service, so you don’t have to worry about making the bed or dusting and polishing the furniture.  

However, if you are on a longer assignment you certainly won’t want to stay in a hotel. Sitting in a small room looking at four walls very quickly loses its appeal. In this case you will want to stay in one of the

However, when you have your own kitchen you can cook whatever you want in the same way as you do at home, rather than being restricted to the hotel menu. If you don’t feel like cooking dinner one evening you can simply go out for a meal. There are dozens of restaurants in Mayfair, so there is a very wide choice.

Another advantage of staying in one of the luxury serviced apartments in London in Mayfair is that you can do your own laundry: you don’t have to rely on the hotel laundry, nor pay their prices, because these apartments will have a washing machine and dryer.

Obviously, the facilities will vary from one apartment to another, but you will find that most have the latest TV’s and high-speed broadband – which you will need if you are on business. Many have music systems, and there is always a good heating system, while some also have air conditioning. 

Some of the apartments also have a full-time concierge and security as well, and some even contain an electronic safe for your valuables for which they give you a passcode!

So if you are staying in London for anything over a week you are far better off renting one of the luxury serviced apartments in London in Mayfair rather than a hotel.

Rent A Luxury Mayfair Apartment For Half The Price Of A Hotel

Have you ever thought about bringing your family for a holiday to London? It’s a great city – one of the finest in the world – and there is so much to see and do. Maybe you thought about it and then went online to check out the hotel prices. If you did, you probably thought it was way too expensive and decided to go somewhere else. In some respects, we wouldn’t blame you: hotel prices in London are expensive.

However, there is an alternative and that is to rent one of the luxury apartments in Mayfair, London. Many people are not aware that you can rent luxury apartments in Mayfair, London, but the fact is that you can, and what is even better is that they can be as little as half the cost of a hotel. Some London hotel rooms can cost £800 a night and considerably more, so if you are a family of four you are looking at about £22,500 for two rooms for a fortnight’s holiday.

But there are other advantages to renting a luxury serviced apartment. One of them is the amount of space that you get. Hotel rooms are small by comparison because the hotel wants to get as many guests into the building as possible. When you rent an apartment, you are getting something that was originally designed for someone to live in, so it has bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, a reception room, and maybe a separate dining room, which is a whole lot different from living out of a suitcase in a hotel.

No, you can’t just pop down to the hotel restaurant for dinner, but you CAN just pop out of your apartment to any one of dozens of famous restaurants, so what’s the difference – apart from the fact that they probably charge less than the hotel? Furthermore, if you are staying for any length of time you need to get your laundry done, and in luxury apartments in Mayfair, London you can just do it in the washing machine and dryer as you would at home.

Why Stay In A Luxury Mayfair Apartment Rather Than A Hotel?

London is one of the biggest cities in the world with a population approaching 9 million. What’s more, it has 19 million visitors a year which makes it one of the most crowded cities on earth. Whatever the reason for their visit, all those 19 million people have one thing in common, and that is that they all have to find somewhere to stay, even if they are only visiting for a day. Of course, most of them will stay in one of the many London hotels in the centre of the city, but there is an alternative, and that is to stay in one of the luxury apartments in Mayfair.

You may wonder why anyone would want to stay in one of the luxury apartments in Mayfair when they could stay in a hotel. After all, who wants to do all their own cooking when on holiday? But there are actually several reasons. Leaving the cooking aside for the moment, staying in an apartment means that you have a home of your own while you are in London. You are not living in the same building as hundreds of other people. The apartment is entirely yours.

Sure, you have to eat, but if you don’t want to cook there are dozens of restaurants in Mayfair, so if you don’t want to cook, just eat out. You have a myriad of choices, and most of them won’t cost as much as the meal in a hotel restaurant.

Did we mention the bar prices? Yes, London hotels have some very nice bars, but the prices are astronomical. Pub and bar prices are also higher than you would pay outside London, but nowhere near those of a hotel. What’s more, if you fancy a drink in your apartment you can always buy a bottle of wine or three and drink it “at home” rather than paying he minibar prices in your hotel room.

There are lots more advantages to luxury apartments in Mayfair, but another very big one is the cost. You will probably pay half the price of a hotel room and get double the space, which is another big benefit.

Save Money Visiting London By Renting A Serviced Apartment

Renting London serviced apartments in Mayfair is the ideal way to save yourself a considerable amount of money when visiting London, whether on holiday or on business. You can find apartments that have all the facilities of a Central London hotel, yet are half the price. 

Well, perhaps not quite all the facilities, but that doesn’t matter. What you don’t get in London serviced apartments in Mayfair is a restaurant and a bar. However, you do get everything else, and in many cases an apartment is much more luxurious than a hotel room. For one thing you get space. Most hotel rooms are quite small – unless you book a suite at enormous expense – whereas in an apartment you live in a place that was designed as a family home for someone who was going to live in it full time. Hotels want their rooms to be small, because the more of them they can pack in, the more money they can make. 

There is another thing that you get with London serviced apartments in Mayfair and that is privacy. You are not huddled together with hundreds of other people as you are in one of the big hotels. Your apartment is all your own for the duration of your stay.

As for meals and a bar, it really doesn’t matter. In some respects, doing your own cooking gives you the advantage of being able to choose what you want rather than being restricted to the hotel restaurant menu, so you have freedom of choice. Secondly, if you really don’t want to cook, in Mayfair you have dozens of restaurants, including Michelin starred ones, within a few minutes’ walk, and there is a huge choice of different cultures: Mexican, Italian, Spanish, Indian, Chinese, French, - you name it, they are there. You won’t get all that in a hotel restaurant.

As for bars, there are dozens of those also, and although they charge what are known as “West End” prices which are more than you would find outside London, they don’t even begin to approach what you pay in a hotel bar.

So yes, there are many advantages to staying in a Mayfair apartment as opposed to a hotel.

However, more and more people are taking advantage of staying in one of the luxurious furnished apartments that are available in the city, partly because they cost much less than a hotel, but also because with your own apartment you get a lot more space than in a hotel room and you also have privacy: for the duration of your stay it is you own home away from home.

At Carlton Court we can offer you one of two 2-bedroom apartments in Central London. The first is a two-bedroom duplex which can sleep three to four people. It is a beautifully furnished apartment with its own private entrance at street level. There is a large living room and a fully fitted kitchen with a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer, and a separate WC. Stairs lead down to a very quiet and also very large master bedroom with a super king-sized double bed, while the second bedroom is a small double, with a full bathroom with power shower. In addition, the living room contains a sofa bed if you want to accommodate guests.

Property In London Is Expensive, And Hotels Charge Accordingly

A visit to London is always an expensive business. Quite simply, London – like any other capital city in the world – is an expensive place to live. Housing in the capital is incredibly pricey: three years ago a young couple sold a one bedroom flat in Tottenham – which is not actually in central London but just outside – and bought a five bedroom home on the south coast for cash with the proceeds! That is how expensive London is.

That is why visiting London is also expensive. You have to stay somewhere, and the price of property is through the roof, so hotels charge accordingly. They also think that you really have no choice, so they can charge what they like, but the fact is that today you do.

Put Your Staff Up In A Serviced Apartment Rather Than A Hotel

If you either own or are a director of a business and you need to send two or three of your staff members to London to visit customers, or perhaps to spend time in your London office, they are going to need somewhere to stay, and your company is going to have to pay for it.

Certainly, that is rather stating the obvious, but you also want to keep expenses to the minimum. London hotels, especially in the West End, are notoriously expensive. Putting up three staff members in a hotel for a month will cost a small fortune because you will need three rooms.

However, there is an alternative and that is to look at serviced apartments in London. A serviced apartment for three people will cost considerably less than a hotel over the same period, yet they will get all the benefits of a hotel except for a restaurant.

Hotel Or Luxury Apartment For A Visit To London?

If you are going to visit London, you may have considered looking at luxury London apartments for rent rather than staying in a hotel. This may, or may not, be a good idea.

If you want a holiday where absolutely everything is done for you, then staying in one of the top London hotels would be your best bet, because everything IS done for you. All you need to do is get up in the morning, shower or bath, get dressed, and that’s it. You are on your way for the day. Down to the restaurant for breakfast, and you’re off.

You need your laundry done? The hotel will do it. Want drinks brought to your room? Certainly. You never have to lift a finger.

Booking An Apartment When Visiting London

If you are going to visit London you obviously need somewhere to stay, and unless you have relatives here you really only have two choices. Some people would think that there is only one answer and that is to stay in a hotel, but you can also book an apartment in London. 

If you book a hotel you pretty much know what to expect. You get a hotel room, breakfast and dinner are served in the restaurant within fixed hours, a maid comes in during the morning and makes the bed, there is a minibar, and downstairs there is a large lounge and bar which you share with 100 other people. And that’s it. 

However, when you book an apartment in London you will find that the facilities provided can vary considerably. To begin with, apartments come in varying sizes: some can sleep just two people while others may sleep six or even eight. The number of bedrooms will vary and some will have an en-suite bathroom while others may have separate bathroom and toilet facilities. You should get a good sized reception room, and there may be a separate dining room. Certainly, you should get a fully fitted kitchen with a dishwasher, washing machine, and tumble dryer, but there may be a separate utility room. With some apartments in London you may even get a small garden. Whatever the size of the apartment, you should have double the space that you would get in a hotel bedroom.

Some apartments have a considerable number of extra facilities. You may get a maid service, and of course there should be high speed broadband, which in a hotel you may be charged extra for. Some apartments have TV’s in all the rooms and some have access to multiple channels in a variety of languages. Some also come with a full time concierge and on-site security, and in a small number of cases you may even have a parking space. Most will have a music system, and may have things such as an iPad dock or your own personal safe for your valuables.

If you are going to book an apartment in London you really do need to check exactly what is included.

Stay In A Luxury Apartment In Central London

London is one of the greatest cities in the world and there are so many things to do that you couldn’t possibly see them all if you stayed for a six week vacation, and most people don’t have that length of time anyway. Even if you are not on vacation, but visiting on business, you need to be at the heart of things so that you can easily get to wherever you want to go.

In common with every other major city in the world, the traffic in London is a nightmare, and if you stay in a hotel on the outskirts of the city you will waste hours getting to where you want to be. Of course, the obvious answer is to stay in a hotel in the city centre where you have easy access to everything – a lot of it within walking distance, so you don’t even need a taxi.

However, hotels in central London, by definition, are extremely expensive. They can afford to be because they think you have no choice, so within reason they can charge what they like. Not only that, you basically have to live out of a suitcase for the duration of your stay.

But there is another answer and that is to stay in one of the luxury apartments in central London. Why ever not? Luxury apartments in central London will give you around twice the space of a hotel bedroom and will cost you less. Most of them are fully serviced, which means that you don’t need to lift a finger except for cooking your own meals. Now, granted, in a hotel that is done for you - but at what cost? Add to that a couple of drinks in the bar before dinner and the words “an arm and a leg” spring to mind.

In one of the luxury apartments in central London you can buy your own food in the local markets, and there are plenty of bars and English pubs where you can get a drink for a reasonable price. Perhaps best of all, you get a home of your own for the duration of your visit.

A Mayfair Apartment Is The Ideal Place To Stay When Visiting London

If you are visiting London, whether it is on holiday or for business, there is really no point in staying anywhere other than in the heart of the city where everything is right on your doorstep. Let’s face it, London has a lot to offer, but it is choked with traffic as are all the other major cities in the world. Certainly, you can stay in the suburbs, but then you are faced with the awful commute every morning and evening to get in and out of the centre.

You don’t need a commute of an hour or two, crushed in with all those other poor people who have to get in to go to work and have no choice. What would be the point? If you are visiting on business you need to be bright and fresh in the morning to see customers or suppliers, and equally if you are visiting on holiday you are doing it for FUN, not for a battle through the crowds!

This is why so many visitors to the city are now choosing a Mayfair apartment which they can use as a base. A Mayfair apartment is actually within walking distance of many of the places that you need to visit on business or want to see while you are on vacation. In fact, you can walk to a lot of places faster than you could get there by road in a taxi, and walking doesn’t cost anything. What’s the point of sitting in a traffic jam in a taxi which is clocking up the fare by the minute?

A Mayfair apartment is usually serviced, which means that you don’t have to worry about cleaning it or even making the bed in the morning. You just get up, shower, have breakfast, and then you are all set for the day. It’s just like being in your own home, but without any responsibility except doing your own cooking. In fact, you don’t even have to do that if you don’t want to, as you have world class restaurants only a few minutes’ walk away.

You Get Privacy And Space In London Serviced Apartments

London is one of the finest cities in the world, and indeed many Londoners would argue that it is by far and away the best. If you stay in the heart of London you have everything at your fingertips, except possibly an English country pub and fields full of cows. However, even right in the city centre there are several parks in which you can wander, and in Hyde Park, perhaps the best known, you can actually go horse riding if you wish.

Of course, many people who visit London, whether on business or pleasure, stay in one of the many famous – if expensive – hotels. However, more and more visitors are now looking for serviced apartments in central London. This is not just because they can be considerably cheaper than a hotel, although that is a distinct advantage, but because serviced apartments in central London provide all the amenities of a hotel except a restaurant and bar. 

So yes, you have to do your own cooking, but that is the same as you do at home so it isn’t that hard. What’s more, it gives you a much greater choice of food because you are not restricted to what the hotel offers. It also gives you two things that you won’t get in a hotel, and that is privacy along with a lot more space. 

It is estimated that serviced apartments in central London provide about twice the space that you have in a hotel room, and they are also all your own for the duration of your stay. There is just you and your family living as you do at home, but yet with a maid service, security, and everything done for you except the cooking. Furthermore, you can do your own laundry rather than having to rely on the hotel laundry, and you can relax and invite guests round for a drink or a meal.

If you really don’t want to do the cooking one evening you can simply pop out to one of the dozens of superb restaurants on your doorstep. 

Hotels In London Are Expensive Places To Stay

London is by no means the cheapest place in the world to stay. Indeed, however wealthy you may be, you would doubtless class it as expensive. That goes for pretty much every capital city, because all visitors want to stay in the city centre. The amount of land is limited which means that so is the number of buildings, and that inevitably means that property is expensive, which has the knock-on effect of pushing the price of everything else up with it.

This is the reason why hotels in London are so expensive. Yes, they offer luxury and great service, but the price of rooms is eye-watering. So is the price of everything else they offer. Almost everything is an “extra” so if you want your laundry done – which you do if you are staying for any length of time – it will cost you a small fortune. As for the bar prices, just look at the Dorchester cocktails. They do offer a huge range of different cocktails, but the minimum price is £16.00, and many are £19.00 – going up to £35.00. As for the price of a bottle of champagne, £250 – £300 is nothing. A vintage Krug Clos d’Ambonnay 1998 is £3,950. Oh, and there is a minimum charge of £30 per person after 6.00 pm.

Stay In A Luxury Apartment When Visiting London

London is one of the most attractive and diverse cities in the world, with its’ history dating back to Roman times. There is so much to see and do that it is difficult to know where to begin listing all the reasons to come here. For many people, the first thing they want to see is the residence of the Queen and Prince Philip – Buckingham Palace. Then there is Big Ben (presently undergoing refurbishment) and the Houses of Parliament, Madame Tussauds, St, Paul’s Cathedral, and the Tower of London where you can see the ravens. There are six ravens and folklore has it that if they ever leave, the kingdom and the Tower will fall. They have a Ravenmaster who looks after them and feeds them twice a day.

Some Unusual Things To Do In London

When you visit London there are dozens of things to do that just about everybody does. Visit Buckingham Palace, St.Paul’s Cathedral, and The Tower of London. Just opposite the Tower you can watch Tower Bridge being raised as large ships pass underneath. Visit all the museums. See the art galleries. Go shopping in Bond Street, Oxford Street, and in Knightsbridge. Those are the sorts of things that everyone does, and that people will tell you that you “must” do.

However, there are a lot of other things that you can do when visiting the city that most tourists never see. Everyone knows that there is an underground train service, but did you know that there is another one? It’s the Mail Rail and for eighty years it shuttled letters and parcels across the city until it was closed in 2003. However, it has now been reopened as part of the Postal Museum and you can hop on board and see a piece of history.

Where Can You Stay When Visiting London?

When you visit London, as some 19 million people do every year, you all have one thing in common: you need somewhere to stay. Now if you have a relative or friend here with a spare room they may be able to put you up, but only a tiny percentage of those 19 million people will be so lucky, so the alternative is usually a hotel.

Unfortunately, although there are some very fine hotels in central London, they are extremely expensive. The hotels know that you need somewhere to stay so within reason they can charge what they like. You can quite easily be looking at £800 a night for a double room. If you are a family of four staying for a fortnight, you need two rooms, so you can do the maths yourself. It’s a lot. However, most people bite the bullet and do it because they don’t think of any alternative.

Plenty To Do In London, But The Hotel Prices Are Astronomical

If you are coming to London on holiday and bringing the family it is no doubt the treat of a lifetime for the kids. London is a vibrant city and there is a lot going on and plenty for them to see and do. There is the Tower of London where they can see the Crown Jewels, Buckingham Palace, Regent’s Park Zoo – one of the largest zoos in the world – art galleries, museums, cinemas, theatres, and as for the shopping – well your partner will be delighted! If you stay in Mayfair in the West End some of the finest shopping in the world is within walking distance. 

However, when you are bringing the family the problem is the cost of staying in a hotel. If you are a multi-millionaire it is no problem, but the fact is that the vast majority of us are not. A family of four is going to need two hotel rooms and in Mayfair you can well be looking at £1,500 a night for that. Over a fortnight’s stay that adds up to a big amount, and that’s before you have dinner in the hotel restaurant!

An Alternative To A Hotel When Visiting London

London is a very large capital city - one of the biggest in the world – with a population of 9 million. It also has 19 million visitors each year and every last one of them needs somewhere to stay. This is why there are so many hotels in central London to cater for all these people, and it is also why they are so expensive because – within reason – they can charge what they like because they basically have a captive audience. They consider that all these visitors don’t have a choice, but some shrewd travellers know that they do.

If you, too, are a shrewd traveller you will know that there is an alternative and it is to rent a luxury apartment in London. More and more today, people are coming to realise that renting a luxury serviced apartment has lots of benefits.

When Visiting London You Have A Choice Of Accommodation

When you are visiting London you obviously need somewhere to stay. You may be coming here on business or it may be for a holiday, but either way you need a base at which to sleep and eat. Of course, you may have a relative here who has a spare room, which would solve the problem –unless you are bringing the family. Otherwise, you need to rent a hotel room.

Or do you?

Many people are unaware that there is an alternative, and that is a choice of Mayfair apartments in London. Yes, there are people who own private apartments or blocks in which there are apartments and let them out to visitors to the city on the same basis as a hotel. In other words, you can stay for a night or two, or you can stay for several months.

Luxury Apartments In London – The Superior Choice When Visiting

If you are visiting London, whether it is on holiday or on business, you have a choice of places in which to stay. There are dozens of hotels – many of them world-famous – which are OK if you are only staying for a couple of nights, but the fact is that after a few days, living out of a suitcase can get quite depressing. You have to share a hotel with a lot of other people. For instance, The Dorchester on Park Lane has 250 rooms and 49 suites: that means that you are living with at least 600 other people, and maybe more.

The other option – which many people now consider far superior – is to stay in one of the luxury apartments to rent in London which are now available. Here you have your own private space and a lot more of it than in a hotel bedroom.
