How to Find Cheap and Chic Hotels in London
- 1). Make a list of all the things you're looking for in a chic hotel. Try not to get too hung up on the star rating system. This is merely an arbitrary benchmark used by hotels, governments and review organizations. The system isn't standardized and will only give you a rough guide to the amenities available at a hotel and tell you nothing about its integral character.
- 2). Navigate to websites like Myboutiquehotel.com or Boutique Hotels London and search for lodgings in the area of London you're looking to stay in. These sites tend to cater to the quirkier, more unusual end of the market where you'll be more likely to find hotels more readily discernible as "chic."
- 3). Compile a list of hotels that meet your requirements and take a look at reviews on Tripadvisor.co.uk. You can also enter the name of your chosen establishment into a search engine and take a look at any articles that might have been published about it. This will give you a good idea if the hotel meets your requirements with regard to its level of "chicness."
- 4). Compare the prices of the hotels you've selected. To get the best deal, compare what's offered from the hotels directly to the prices offered from Myboutiquehotel.com or Boutique Hotels London. It's also worth checking other travel brokers like Expedia.co.uk and Travelocity.co.uk. Hotels allocate rooms to these services at prices that may be below what they offer directly. Travel broker sites also regularly run special offers that could save you some money.
- 5). Select the hotel that best meets your needs at the lowest price, and make your booking.
