I'd say location is important in that we want easy access to tube, but don't mind a 15-20min tube right to get places. We appreciate a good exec lounge, and a room that is comfortable, but doesn't need to be exceptionally fancy.
You've had lots of advice in replies so far - and you'll have realised that there is no perfect solution to your puzzle!
Having had a recent stay at Canopy I'll say that I really liked it. Very smart hotel with a good breakfast offering and they are keen to please guests with status. I think it is a better hotel than all of the others you are considering - assuming that you are not hooked on a lounge. Location is always about personal preference, but the
City Fringe location has a lot to offer within walking distance - and there are pleasant areas to walk around - both north and south of the river.
Both of the doubletrees are a bit tired - DT Tower of London is the better of the two and the executive rooms are refreshed but the EL is not stellar.
I am not a fan of Metropole on account of its enormity - and that you'd be taking the tube to go anywhere worth visiting.
So, with the Lounge caveat, if your Canopy booking is a good deal, think hard before giving it up!
