In 2005 my fiance and I (same age as you) had the same dilema and through our research went with the Ren Chancery Court. This property is excellent and is comparable in my opinion to a Ritz. Excellent location and the concierge lounge was awesome. The deserts and selection of food was spectacular. We received a nice upgrade with my Plat Premiere status. It's walking distance from many nice attractions. I highly suggest this property.
Not that the OP was asking for it, but for archive purposes I've found the best value to be the Marriott Maida Vale. It is a 15 tube right anywhere, and can normally be had for mid-100's.

email address for Renaissance CC
I searched but couldn't find an email address for the GM there. I would like to request an early arrival as I will be coming from DFW. Thanks.

When I went to the Ren CC in Dec/Jan, I sent an pre-stay email to [email protected].
They were able to help me with a room upgrade and a nice gift for the wife on arrival. ^ So they should be able to help you with an early arrival.

My fav is CC- Renn
I have stayed at CC- Renn, Park 47, & County Hall.
For being able to walk or take the tube CC is the easiest. If you are looking to see a recap of your travels take a Taxi to Victoria Station. I swear everything the Mrs. I & I walked around for 3 days we saw in 15 minutes! We had a spectacular time at CC.

You won't be disappointed. You might want to request an interior view...away from the noise of the street out in front. PM me if I might be able to help with any questions or suggestions.
And a reminder to those reading this thread considering a trip to London...."Best Hotel" depends on what you're looking to do, how much time you have, and what your budget is.

And that's why folks differ as to which is "best." For me, having been at both properties, I prefer the County Hall to CC because the view from view rooms, and the location, outweigh all else.

This thread began with single young men "out on the town" looking for a suggestion. CC is perfect for them.
For a romantic, luxury getaway, I could definitely see Grosvenor House. On a budget? Try Maida Vale. For us, looking to catch up with our daughter (who lives in London) as well as relax and soak up the atmosphere of a lovely residential area..... we keep coming back to Grosvenor Square and its Mayfair location.
Different strokes....

I was just thinking about this today. Calling dayone! He was there in March, but up in the air on whether he was there just before or after the rooms opened up. Cheers.

She scores! Dancing in the office cheering loudly. Just reserved annual Presidents/Birthday weekend at Grosvenor House for '08 - with a regular, NOT stay anytime, award! Woo-hoo! 
Cheers.
Cheers.
