Alternatives
Other hotels we have written up that may suit a different brief.
Park Plaza County Hall London
- Best for
- A family of four, South Bank attractions, Waterloo arrivals and simple in-room breakfasts or snacks.
- Trade-off
- The family sleeps in one open-plan room, including a sofa bed
A practical South Bank base for a family of four when the Studio Double’s sofa bed, kitchenette and two-TV layout matter more than traditional hotel atmosphere.
Booking tipSelect the Studio Double explicitly, enter every child and age, and verify that the sofa bed is included; a standard room is not the same family layout.
The Rubens at the Palace
- Best for
- Buckingham Palace, Victoria arrivals, celebration stays and multi-generational families needing several connected rooms.
- Trade-off
- Larger connecting configurations require direct contact and remain subject to availability
A characterful royal-themed stay directly opposite Buckingham Palace’s Royal Mews, with flexible connecting arrangements that suit multi-generational families willing to book by phone or email.
Booking tipAsk reservations to name the exact rooms, internal doors and total occupancy in writing; ‘interleading’ and ‘interconnecting’ describe different layouts here.
Royal Lancaster London
- Best for
- Two-room family privacy, Hyde Park, Paddington arrivals and parents travelling with older children.
- Trade-off
- Two-room layouts usually cost more than a single family studio
A polished Hyde Park base for a family that wants two proper bedrooms and bathrooms, with named interconnecting categories that remove some of the uncertainty from booking two rooms.
Booking tipChoose the named interconnecting product, not two separate rooms with a request; confirm king-versus-twin configuration and any second-room offer before paying.
