Very pleasant week-end in London where we discovered Kew Gardens – few kilometers at the west of the capital – which are the Royal Botanic Gardens ; it has been created in 1759 and extends over 132 hectares. Of course we spend also some time walking in Oxford Street and Piccadilly Circus. I definitely love this city and I encourage…
London is one of the best destinations for 5-star hotels fans with so many different kinds of luxury and locations… For this stay I chose the Sofitel St James because it was very well-positioned in Tripadvisor (#3 in December 09) and the situation is just perfect at Piccadilly Circus.

We stayed in Aldwych – theaters district – at the Hilton Waldorf which was…
For our first 2-night stay in a London 5-star we chose an iconic property in Aldwych area, few steps from Covent Garden : the Hilton London Waldorf. Not a Waldorf-Astoria collection hotel but still a good location and good deal ; indeed, location is a bit far from city center so daily rates are attractive. I liked especially the mix…
