I lived in Bp for several years- I would highly highly recommend staying at the Hilton WestEnd if you can afford it. It is really quite something. The LeMeridian is also an exceptionally beautiful hotel, although I think the Hilton WestEnd's location is superior. The Beke Radisson is another very nice hotel with perhaps the finest coffeeshop in town. It is perhaps easiest to email me with other questions you have, I don't frequently check this board. You will have an INCREDIBLE time- oh- if you do nothing else go to the Kiraly turkish bath on a Friday afternoon.
