In the summer of 2012, hundreds of thousands of people will come to London and the UK for the Olympic and Paralympic Games – whether they are ticket holders or simply looking to soak up the atmosphere. If you will be visiting, now is the time to think about where you want to stay. Here are a few suggestions.
Sherlock Holmes Hotel
You would probably expect this hotel to be a throwback to Victorian times. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. This is a chic boutique hotel with a great lobby and bar and the rooms are decorated in brown and beige, with pinstripe sheets and beds with leather headboards.
The Hoxton
Owned by Pret a Manger founder Sinclair Beecham, this hotel works on budget airline principles: the earlier you book, the less you pay. If you’re lucky the price will be only £1/night. The hotel itself opened September 2006 and is close to Old Street tube and the City of London.
No 5 Maddox Street
A very chic hotel right in the heart of London with an entrance so unassuming that you would hardly think it is a hotel. The rooms—or rather apartments—are decorated in an elegant East-meets-West style with subdued colours, bamboo floors and beautiful porcelain.
Portobello Hotel
Portobello has long been a favourite for actors, musicians and artists, all enticed by the bohemian but charming take on old-style colonial elegance— oriental antiques, potted plants, ceiling fans and wooden shutters.
Generator
The Generator Hostel offers young budget travellers a unique guest experience in European major cities - such as London. Female dorms are also available. The hostel facilities include the famous Generator bar, which is open daily, a restaurant for breakfast and dinner, internet café with free Wi-Fi, chill out area, luggage room, laundry service, awesome parties and much more.
The Fox Club
Just off Piccadilly is the former home of the 18th-century courtesan Elisabeth Armistead. Mrs Armistead was the mistress and later wife of Charles James Fox, but also entertained many prestigious gentlemen at her home. The nine individually designed bedrooms at the Fox Club are named after her famous lovers.
