Hotels in London are usually less expensive during the weekends than they are during the workweek, probably due to the vast amount of people going on business to London during the weeks. This means that most of the better hotels are catered towards businesspeople (and their expensive accounts) than typical weekend visitors, but good deals can be found.

Top Hotels

Corinthia Hotel London

The Corinthia was opened in 2011 in an building from 1885 between Trafalgar Square and Thames Embankment. The interior design blends the old elements to a thoroughly modern and welcoming palette and use of space in a spectacular way. The attention to detail and quality is apparent everywhere, from the textures chosen to the afternoon tea, one of the very best in London. Superior King room from $700 (weekends), Whitehall Place. http://www.corinthia.com. Book your stay at Corinthia Hotel London on Booking.com

Value Hotels

After the Hoxton Hotel changed owner in 2013 we have a hard time finding cheaper hotels combining design with service and location.

The hotel is located very close to two different Tube Stations and centrally with only a 10-minute walk from Oxford Street. Price on the weekends are reasonable but it’s expensive during the weeks.
