Luxury London: The Millennium

London is regarded as one of the world’s most expensive cities. It’s not an unfair reputation. Most visitors are on the lookout for cheap accommodation and food, perhaps splashing out instead on theatre tickets and days out. The real joy of London is simply walking the streets – there is no charge for feasting your eyes on the many impressive sights the capital has to offer.

But if you can afford a spot of luxury, then a whole new London – or rather, a whole old London – will open up to you. If money is no object, then Mayfair hotels should be your first port of call.

With its grand streets packed full of exclusive boutiques and designer store, Mayfair has long been one of London’s most desirable areas. As well as being renowned as a top shopping district, Mayfair is home to some of the city’s wealthiest residents and, providing accommodation for wealthy non-residents, some of the world’s finest hotels.

Chief among these is the Millennium Hotel London Mayfair. Situated in the gorgeous Grosvenor Square, the Millennium is one of the neighborhood’s most elegant and luxurious places to stay – Mayfair hotels simply don’t come much nicer than this. The 18thCentury mansion was built as a private townhouse, and boasts a Georgian façade, replete with classic Doric columns. It retains the charm of a private home, making it one of the most unique Mayfair hotels.

Close to the boutiques of Bond Street and Regent Street, the Millennium also gives you access – within walking distance – to Hyde Park and Kensington gardens, with Theatreland in close proximity. Plenty of road and rail links make Mayfair easily accessible, with Heathrow and Gatwick airports a short train ride away.

Even better, the Millennium is currently offering a ‘Leisure for Longer’ deal, with savings of up to 20% available for stays of 3 nights or longer. Discover more Mayfair hotels at Millennium’s website (click the link for more info).
