The Radisson Blu Edwardian Hampshire

It may not be one of the most affordable in town but Room4U has included it here because some of the late deals can practically halve the standard room rates, making it a terrifically lavish alternative to the occasionally puffed up prices offered by so-called budget rivals. It really depends on what you expect from your accommodation. This 5-star landmark option at the heart of Theatreland caters predominantly for guests looking for a more rounded hotel experience so if you need little more than a bed for the night, look away now.

From the gorgeous and iconic Edwardian architecture to the stunning views of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament in some of the suites and from the Hampshire Bar and Restaurant in particular make this something a little bit special.

Guests here can spoil themselves rotten with in-room spa and beauty treatments or pamper their palate in the rich mahogany surroundings of the Hampshire Restaurant with its grand wood panelling, its pale raffia wall coverings and Morosso high-backed chairs.

The Radisson Blu Edwardian Hampshire is situated in Leicester Square and within walking distance of London's Thearteland, China Town and a menagerie of shops and restaurants – R4U
