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.
