Don’t see any fourth night free offers yet. I did notice that the Cafe Royal has rooms through Founders that are not advertised on their website that are different, not as nice perhaps, as the rooms on the website, and cheaper - similar to what the SET Collection does at the Lutetia in Paris. I toured the cheaper room at the Paris location and it was still very nice, no bathtub, but much cheaper than the advertised web rooms that are also higher category. I have also looked at ABA rates through Egencia and again not finding any deals - any thoughts on deals for the 5*s would be welcome in both London and Paris - Thx to all!
I am a fan of Café Royal. It isn't the best luxury hotel in London, but even entry level rooms are sizable. They fairly often do 4-for-3 on stays as well. Not sure if the nightly rate is worth it if not using a 4-4-3 with the post pandemic prices and would spend a bit extra to stay elsewhere. Also not a fan of the breakfast area at Cafe Royal but do like the bar.
I don't like the Rosewood's location in Holborn so that alone would exclude it for me.
