Good morning everyone!! We hope you're having a great start to the month!
We recognize that this is the time of year when everyone is looking for a chance to travel, so we thought we'd share a trip idea of ours. Lots of popular vacation destinations are sweltering during the summer, so we feel that this is prime time for a trip to London, due to its milder weather.
Continue reading through this post to find all of our best recos for a wonderful stay in London!
1. Where to stay?
Our top hotel recommendation is the Sofitel London St. James, because it is not only stunning, but it's also in a great area where there are loads of things to do.
Here's why we love this hotel:
The beds are incredibly comfortable, so you'll be getting the best sleep of your life
It's near tons of cites that you'll want to see during your visit
The tube is super close by so you can easily make your way through the city
They provide breakfast which means you won't have to worry about Starbucks line ups
The hotel itself is very well decorated and you'll feel like you're in a palace
Downsides of this hotel:
It is quite expensive, so it might not work for everyone
The rooms are a bit on the smaller side

Although the Sofitel is our favourite hotel, we recognize that some people might be looking for something different. If this is you, we recommend checking out Booking.com where you can find London hotels at every price range.
