MilesBuzz! - Any recommendations on a good hotel in London?

We're going to London in mid-November... Does anyone have a great hotel recommendation? It would be great if we could earn miles/points, but the most important thing is that we have an enjoyable stay. Thanks in advance!

I personally like the Dorchester but haven't been there in a few years. I hear it has been completely remodeled though. It used to be the place for afternoon tea and it is next to Hyde park. If someone has stayed there recently I wouldn't mind knowing if it has maintained its standards.

I adore the Four Seasons at Hyde Park Corner for comfort, style, service and location. The conservatory rooms are spacious and full of natural light. The lobby bar and formal bar are full of life. Food is sumptuous. But, alas, no frequent stay or frequent flyer points. The parks are literally across the street. Belgravia, Harrods, Regents Street, theater district and royal/government buildings are all easily walkable in fair weather. On my last November visit, temperatures were in the 60s.

I haven't stayed at EVERY good hotel in London yet, but I like the May Fair Intercontinental. Join the Six Continents Club, get an upgraded room, and the hotel is great. Great location near Buckingham Palace, Picadilly, etc.

The Sheraton Belgravia is a fabulous Hotel.

I'd highly recommend it.

It offered the best service I've ever seen in any Hotel anywhere.

My personal bests are the Connaught (though the rooms aren't necessarily gorgeous, the service is amazing and it's like walking into
another world), the Athenaeum (great Green Park views, very pretty rooms and I love the location), the Stafford (for reasons similar to those for the Connaught) and the Savoy (it's very convenient if you are planning on a lot of theater, has a lot of history and great showerheads, but I didn't find the service quite what it should have been). Suggest you decide what part of twon you want to be in, and take it from there.

I like the Hotel Russell in Russell Square. Nothing fancy, just a huge old Hotel on the square, a block from the Underground, a decent selection of Pubs and Restaurants in the area, etc.

We usually book them through www.hotelbook.com, (http://www.hotelbook.com,) they offer some incredible rates on London hotels if there are promotions going on. We have never had a problem with them.

Of course, if they don't have any promotions going on, or the rooms are all full then the rates will be a different story.

My wife and I like the St. Ermins. It has recently become a Hilton (Points = Yes) and it is within easy walking distance of Buckingham Palace. The newly renovated rooms have the most comfortable hotel bed we have ever slept in.

On a weekend up coming in October I am considering a samll hotel (the Beaufort) at Beaufort Gardens in Knightsbridge. Any comments would be apprecaited. Thanks in advance

I'll second Clanson on the Saint Ermins, I forgot all about that one. Right across from Scottland yard. I was there on business a couple of years ago.
