There's no chance of missing your train at this 4-star hotel, which is right next to Victoria Rail Station and less than 800 metres from Buckingham Palace. Large air-conditioned rooms decorated in subtle greys and browns come with flat screen TVs. Chill out on Egyptian cotton bed linen while listening to your own music, playing from the handy iPod dock.
If you're stuck for dinner plans, head to the feng shui designed Grand Imperial London Restaurant for authentic Hong Kong Cantonese dishes or check out the more informal Grosvenor Arms for drinks and traditional lounge area for afternoon tea. After a day hitting up Westminster Abbey (just a 15-minute walk away) and the Houses of Parliament (just a mile away) spend the evening sipping champagne and cocktails from the chic Reunion bar.
Location is key, with easy access to taxis, London buses, the Underground and national rail services. There is also 24-hour room service and concierge. If you really want to splash out – limousine services are available and there is also a fitness centre on-site, so you can burn off all that rich food.
