The Tower is a modern, upper-middle-range business property located on the Thames, right next to Tower Bridge. Its 801 rooms are starting to look a bit dated for a hotel of this caliber, and there have been complaints about cleanliness and maintenance issues. Though it's a bit unpolished in places, the hotel does have a restaurant, a bar, and 19 fully equipped meeting rooms. There's also a lovely terrace with great views. While the location is great for business travelers wanting access to the City of London, tourists may be better off staying somewhere closer to West End attractions. The Grosvenor Hotel is a good alternative and it's located near Buckingham Palace.
