The Strand Palace Hotel, The Strand, London
See www.strandpalacehotel.co.uk or telephone 020 7379 4737
Staying: A great hotel for families, the Strand Palace couldn't be better located to see most of London's sights within spitting distance - and who needs to be trekking too far with kids in tow?
Having recently undergone refurbishment, the hotel can offer contemporary Club rooms which are bright and airy and make a perfect resting place for any tourist trekking to swanky London town.
If you are staying in a Club room there is a dedicated Club check-in desk, and seeing as the hotel is so big, this comes in very handy against check-in queues! There is a choice of restaurants and bars, and with a history that dates back to 1907, the hotel can certainly lay its claim to tradition. Club Doubles from £140.
Eating: Johnston's Brasserie is tastefully decorated and reasonably priced by London standards - the homemade crab and fishcake starter (£6.95) is especially yummy.
Nearby? Close to the theatres and Covent Garden, as well as the London Eye and the Houses of Parliament, you will be spoilt for choice with things to do.
