London hotels
Most visitors book themselves into a hotel in London's West End, where they have easy access to the city's most famous sights and upmarket shopping streets, but don't shy away from the east of the city, where there's a buzzing hotel scene. The former Great Eastern Hotel, for example, reopened as the Andaz, is close to trendy Shoreditch and (even better) won't drain your bank account in these dollar-depressed days. London hotel trends have moved away from minimalist modern boutiques in favor of properties oozing with the grandeur of yesteryear—newcomer the Haymarket is crammed with antiques and hand-painted wallpaper, there's a six-week waiting list for tea at the Ritz, and the world-famous Savoy has now reopened following a $350-million restoration.
