Four Star Hotels in the heart of London’s Theatreland

So, you are coming to London, you are seeing a show and staying a couple of days and you want a hotel in the heart of things.

Although London is so well served by the underground network that everywhere is pretty accesible, there are two places to look – The Strand/Covent Garden area and the Leicester Square/Piccadilly Circus area.

Now I have chosen the four star hotels because the five stars can be quite expensive and the three star hotels don’t always save you enough… and let’s face it, you are here in London to splash out a bit… is it an anniversary or a birthday present or are you just in need of a taste of the highlife – let’s face it, after the year we have all had…!

So here are my swanky seven for a great theatre break.

Amba Charing Cross Hotel on the Strand
The Amba Charing Cross is a refined, elegant and luxurious hotel set at the heart of London. The distinguished 19th century Grade II listed hotel boasts an envious location just moments from Trafalgar Square on the Strand, opposite the Eleanor Cross it sits within the official centre of London and is just yards from half a dozen top shows including Kinky Boots, The Lion King and the operas at the London Colliseum.

They also do a two night offer if you want to spend a little longer in London.

I could go on!
