Location

Mayfair (London)
Famous for its hotels, this exclusive residential district holds London's most expensive homes and, on Bond Street, its most expensive shops. But the tucked-away pubs, restaurants, and local shops of atmospheric Shepherd Market offer affordable local color, too. The bright lights and bustle of Piccadilly Circus are just a short walk away.

The food, drink, and elegant surroundings rival the swankiest venues in this posh neighborhood. Solo diners and couples appreciate having hundreds of wines available by the glass, allowing a different selection for every course of a meal. In addition to the superb atmosphere, this venerable hotel offers 24-hour room service, valet parking, a fitness center, and currency exchange.

What to expect: From the grandfather clock in the oak-paneled lobby to the coat of arms on every guestroom door, this hotel celebrates its age while providing 21st-century amenities. Wall plaques commemorate many historic events here, including Alexander Graham Bell's first telephone call and Theodore Roosevelt's wedding reception. Casually clad vacationers and suited executives sip afternoon tea in the Drawing Room, an English institution.

Amenity highlights: Originally a cluster of townhouses, the hotel was renovated in 2000, and now has a fitness center, elegant meeting rooms, upscale restaurants, a piano lounge, and a casual bar. Valet parking is available, as is 24-hour room service.
