The Dorchester is pretty damned good. As is the Savoy. The Ritz of course is an institution. Claridges is pretty good and Gordon Ramsay runs that restaurant too.
What about The Dorchester? Tis very nice.
I stayed in The Millennium Hotel, just around the corner from Harrods while attending a training course in London. Although its a 'Thistle' Hotel I think, it was very very nice.

I'm fond of the Dorchester, it has a very nice Chinese restaraunt too

spirit said:Blakes in south ken was basically the first boutique hotel thats quite a nice joint.. if you can be a little more specific in ** needs
Well at £500 a night I was hoping for it to be a 5* hotel (doesn't have to be)
Just looking for somewhere quite central with a very nice room (maybe a Jacuzzi in the bathroom

If you are willing to look outside London and during the week you might get 2 nights at my favorite UK hotel.

For an occasion to remember, Ritz and Dorchester would be best. They are in a league of their own when it comes to quality and service. If you really want to spend £500 a night, you can get a mini Suite in either hotels for that price.
As already suggested, other choices include Claridges, Mandarin Oriental, Threadneedles and Savoy. If it gets any worse, InterContinental Hotel isn't a bad 5-star hotel but it lacks prestige. Avoid Park Lane Hotel (Sheraton) at any cost, not worth the price.
