<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/53048/wedding.jpg" class="top"> Still fancy a front row seat at the Royal Wedding? The good news is not all London hotels are sold out. Looks like that big wedding isn't going to be that big after all! If you want to be right in the thick of it your best bet is to choose a hotel in Westminster or near to the <a href="http://www.royalparks.gov.uk/royalweddingmap.aspx">proccesion route</a>. The <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel/local/1373">Royal Horseguards Hotel</a> located on the Embankment is a pretty safe bet, just a few minutes walk away from the procession. The hotel has created a special package which includes brekkie, a wedding gift and afternoon tea for £375 per night. However when we checked there were still double rooms available for £185

Last week we announced the arrival of a new Hilton at Heathrow airport so it's only right that the Railway Stations get some decent hotels. The latest station hotel to get a face lift is the Grosvenor Victoria (formerly the Thistle Victoria) which will be upgraded to a four-star deluxe hotel once the �18 million works are complete this November.

The hotel will join Guoman Hotels who have six other London hotels including The Royal Horseguards Hotel and The Cumberland. The hotel is situated in a listed building, let's just hope they don't make the same mistake as St Pancras Renaissance and skimp on the sound proofing.

<![CDATA[The 25th <a href="http://www.bfi.org.uk/llgff/">Lesbian & Gay Film Fest</a> rolls into London at the end of the month, officially kicking off on March 31st. Most of the events are based at the <a href="http://www.bfi.org.uk/">British Film Institute</a> on the South Bank so unless you want to waste time travelling we'd suggest you stay in a hotel close by. Here's our pick of the bunch: Park Plaza Westminster Bridge <img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/reception12.jpg" class="top"> The <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel/local/4686">Park Plaza Westminster Bridge</a> is just over a year old and houses one of the best hotel restaurants in London, Brassiere Joel. We went <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2010/11/14/152153/06">snooping inside</a> last year and whilst there isnt much natural light in the public areas, most of the rooms have full length windows
