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.

Luxury Serviced Apartments Furnished Personally By The Owners

Carlton Court is situated in the heart of Mayfair and contains five London luxury serviced apartments. These sleep from two to six people and are available for short or long term rent as required. 

The apartments have been furnished personally by the owners, working on the basis that they would choose the furnishings that they would want if they were going to live in Carlton Court themselves, and are thus in the absolute best of taste. You could not get better furnishings if you stayed in one of the (very expensive) hotels in Park Lane just a few yards away. 

In fact, you are far better off in Carlton Court because, despite it being much less expensive than a hotel, you have the living space entirely to yourself.
