Luxurious London: The Best 5-Star Hotels

Bvlgari hotel london

 

As one of the world’s greatest cities, London’s presence and influence continue to be felt in various scenes and métiers, especially when it comes to lavish accommodations. The city prides itself on over 20 million tourists flocking to see what it has to offer.

It comes second as the most-tourist visited city, just behind Bangkok. It’s not a surprising statistic at all, given its museums dedicated to art, history, and culture, its beguiling theater scene, and its historic streets from when the Romans founded the city.

Being the sixth most expensive city to live in the world, even higher than Geneva and twice as Paris, doing London properly definitely means splurging. No city parallels London luxury being home to many 5-star luxury hotels but we have rounded up the best five-star sleepovers featuring only the finest hotels for your next London escapade.
