London Hotels For Culture Vultures
London is bursting with cultural activities to do, from visiting museums and art galleries to seeing a West End show. Choosing accommodation near to top London attractions will save you travel fares and time. Here’s our pick of London hotels for culture vultures!
Grace Kelly Weekend at The Connaught
To coincide with the V&A exhibition Grace Kelly: Style Icon, The Connaught is paying tribute to the screen legend who once called this cultural London hotel her home. On Grace Kelly: Style Icon Weekends you can enjoy:
* Two special ‘Grace Kelly’ cocktails to enjoy in The Connaught Bar
* Two tickets to Grace Kelly: Style Icon at the V&A, including the official V&A exhibition book
* A box set of Grace Kelly films to watch in your room, including To Catch A Thief, High Society and Read Window
* Private visits to Grace Kelly’s favourite shop, Balenciaga, on Mount Street
English breakfast for two
* The Natural History Museum and MEININGER City Hostel & Hotel London
Choosing to stay in a London hotel for culture doesn’t have to mean spending lots of money. Just 200 metres from London’s fascinating Natural History Museum lays the MEININGER City Hostel & Hotel London. This 4-star hostel offers affordable comfort and quality, with prices starting at 20 pounds for dormitory beds and 60 pounds per person for a single room. As well as the Natural History Museum, local attractions include the Science Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum and the Royal Albert Hall. And as entry to all three museums is free, you can save even more money!
Tate Modern and Mad Hatter
Unlike its namesake in Alice in Wonderland, the Mad Hatter hotel is not famed for its tea drinking. In fact, you’re more likely to find guests in the traditional English pub which is located very handily on the ground floor. Yet this friendly London hotel has more to offer than classic British drinks and food. Walk for just two minutes and you’ll find yourself on London’s scenic South Bank, right between the London Eye and Tate Modern and close to Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and The Old Vic.
Film Club at Charlotte Street Hotel
Situated in the leafy environs of literary Bloomsbury, Charlotte Street Hotel is known for its Bloomsbury set-inspired decor. But its artistic tendencies also lie in more modern forms. Nestled on the lower-ground floor of this creative London hotel is a state-of-the-art screening room. You can hire the room for special events or take your place on one of the 74 red leather seats for the weekly Film Club, which takes place every Sunday. Your 35pound ticket includes Champagne Afternoon Tea or a three course dinner. Other London hotels with screening rooms include The May Fair, The Soho Hotel and One Aldwych.
The National Gallery and The Trafalgar
With a name like The Trafalgar, it’s obvious where this London boutique hotel is located in Trafalgar Square, of course. Its central location, under the watchful eye of Nelson, means this cultural London hotel is ideally located to see a whole host of top London attractions. What other London Hotels could offer the National Gallery, the National Portrait Gallery and St James’s Park right on their doorstep? Not to mention Buckingham Palace as a close neighbour. The perfect London hotel for culture and sightseeing.
