Whether you're new to the city, or are looking to indulge in a cheeky staycation, check out our guide to the best London hotels for sightseeing.




York and Albany

Owned by Gordon Ramsay, the York and Albany offers a slice of rustic charm in the heart of North London. Originally a coaching house in the 1820s, the top London hotel now boasts a sunny restaurant, bar and multiple pop-ups throughout the year. Tear yourself away from the gorgeous interiors over to London Zoo, Regent's Park and Camden Market.

Amba Hotel Grosvenor

A traditional Gothic Victorian building complete with all the mod cons you could dream of, the Amba Hotel Grosvenor is a favourite with couples and families alike. Accessible directly through Victoria Train Station, it's the perfect rest stop for those travelling from Gatwick Airport, and also just happens to be a stone's throw away from Buckingham Palace and its royal gardens.
