QUOTE vuittonsofstyle;11503952][B]"The Connaught, Claridges & Berkeley: All owned by Maybourne now, who, under Quinlan Private own some very good hotels, but generally do not appear to manage their hotels as well themselves. Also, why is it taking so long to renovate The Berkeley and to put in the spa?! Rumour has it that they keep changing their minds...
Amazed you did not even mention the Firmdale Hotels in London, which offer a far better experience than most you mentioned - Covent Garden Hotel, Charlotte St Hotel, Soho, Knightsbridge.... "QUOTE

Quinlan Private also own some not so good hotels and i wouldn't be suprised if there are other reasons for the lack of renovation at The Berkeley.

I agree that Firmdale Hotels are often overlooked.

I think Davids post above is a good list from which people can research further on Flyertalk or elsewhere and choose from the tapestry of hotels London offers.
