The upscale, 389-room Corus Hotel is situated in a Georgian mansion at the top of Hyde Park. It's a two-minute walk to Lancaster Gate tube station, with most major attractions reachable within 20 minutes. A conservatory-style restaurant and bar overlooks Hyde Park and serves an extensive breakfast buffet (fee) along with lunch, dinner, and afternoon tea. There's also an Italian restaurant on the ground floor with an opera-singing waitstaff. The major disappointment here are the standard-level rooms -- tiny, with lackluster decor and limited amenities. Upgraded rooms are better and include extras like mini-fridges and espresso machines. Travelers could also consider the nearby Lancaster London, which has comparable rates, a Thai restaurant, and a nicer fitness center.

The 139-room, mid-range Crowne Plaza London Ealing is located right by the tube but not in the city center, making it a good choice for those visiting the nearby Wembley Stadium or tourists looking for an affordable stay. Despite being off a major road, the hotel is quiet. While interiors are well-maintained, some areas are dated -- including Standard Rooms -- and generic. All of the spacious rooms have mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi, plus tea- and coffee-making facilities. An on-site restaurant, bar, and fitness center are convenient, and Club-level guests have 24-hour access to a lounge with free food and beverages. Travelers looking to be even closer to the stadium should check out the more modern and similarly priced Hilton London Wembley, which also has more wellness facilities.

The four-pearl Radisson Blu Edwardian, Mercer Street is a surprisingly personality-filled chain outpost in the center of Covent Garden. It’s located in the heart of the Seven Dials village and close to London’s theater district, surrounded by gorgeous cobblestone streets and boutiques. Interiors draw on urban style, with exposed stonework and pipes, and a muted color palette throughout. The 137 rooms have just the right touch of shimmer and include Samsung Smart TVs, air-conditioning, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Breakfast is served in the hotel’s popular restaurant, Monmouth Kitchen, where the urbane aesthetic continues. There’s also a stylish bar area. There aren’t many properties like this one in Covent Garden, but travelers seeking lower prices in the same area could check out Strand Palace Hotel instead. However, it's a bit less stylish.

The 90-room Queens Gate Hotel is a lovely upscale property with sleek and modern interiors in a central location on Queens Gate and close to several sights. Interiors are posh and elegant, with a black-and-white color palette accented by crimson shades and tastefully decorated with contemporary furniture. Spacious rooms are light and airy with high ceilings and large windows, and include flat-screen TVs, minibars, and tea- and coffee-making facilities, but bathrooms can feel cramped. The hotel also has a small bar that serves light bites and has a small, heated outdoor terrace, as well as a basement breakfast room (though breakfast is not included in the room rate). Prices are competitive for an upscale hotel in this neighborhood; the Rydges Kensington London is typically pricier, and The Parkcity is similarly priced but has fewer amenities and less style.

The bold, beautiful interior design of the Flemings Hotel is what sets this luxury four-pearl property apart from others. Room rates are relatively reasonable for prestigious Mayfair, particularly given the sumptuous furnishing of the rooms. The hotel has a small fitness center, but unfortunately lacks a spa. In 2016, the hotel completed a $20 million renovation that converted 40 rooms into ten apartments and added Ormer Mayfair, a gourmet British eatery from Michelin-starred chef Shaun Rankin.

As its name implies, the 42 rooms at this mid-range Victorian hotel are only a 10-minute walk from attractions like Hyde Park and Kensington Palace. While many of the guest rooms are extremely large, others are tight on space. Style across the board is bright, homey, and simple, and rooms have high ceilings and contemporary bathrooms. Facilities are lacking here, though, and while a cold buffet breakfast is available for a fee, there is no restaurant or bar, and rooms are not air conditioned. Guests should also consider BEST WESTERN Shaftesbury Paddington Court London for a nearby three-pearl option that features a small bar and fitness center.
