Great Hotels to Splurge On
London has as many expensive hotels as it has red double decker buses, with most of them
belonging to the highest international echelons for being a rip-off. However, the city likes
to woo and wow its guests, a dazzling collection of opulent hotels providing deluxe vaca-
tion wonderment. Here are a few choices for living the high life.

Hotel 41
-
Central London
: Opposite Buckingham Palace, which says a lot,
and bursting with opulent nostalgia, Hotel 41 is the sort of hotel you want to
take thousands of photos of. Probably London's most elegant and just £240
for a double.
