Just as all eyes were on London with last year's Royal Wedding, this year we are all refocusing on the English Capital following the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the upcoming 2012 Olympics. Moving on from Royals and Gold medal moments TLTB is more interested in the flurry of recent Luxury Hotel openings.
Do not fear that once the events of 2012 are over the influx of new London hotels will stop... 2013 will see openings of a new Edition hotel, a new Shangri-La, another new offering from Firmdale and a new Hilton.Expect full coverage from The Luxury Travel Bible.
For now, TLTB names the New London Hotels (in no particular order) that we are most excited about in 2012.
It has been opened a while now, but The Luxury Travel Bible thinks there is still reason to get excited about it. If you haven't visited yet, you should.
Set in Britain's political centre, and in a former government building, the new InterContinental London Westminster, joining its sister at Park Lane, opens its doors in November.
When staying at The Ampersand Hotel , which opens 29 August, you will know you are in London's museum district. The design has been inspired by the local London neighbourhood.
The Cafe Royal, Regent Street was once the meeting place for artists and intellectuals, so TLTB might pop down to do some people watching when it opens as a hotel.
