Being low season here in London, many American travelers opt to take advantage of deals, however minor, on travel to this notoriously expensive city. However, Yanks who have chosen to make their rounds on double-decker buses this week sacrifice being on mother soil during Thanksgiving, a huge trade off that's sure to leave tourists pining for a taste of tryptophan and pumpkin pie.

And indeed, Morgans will still be running both hotels now until the end of time, or 2041, which ever comes first. But then just the other day, some very interesting news about Morgans came out--the NY-based hotel group would be acquiring <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hoxton+Hotel+London/local/194">The Hoxton Hotel</a> famous for its <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/1/26/93416/5348/hotels/Hoxton_Hotel_Rooms_for_1_But_It_s_Fastest_Finger_First_">£1 rooms</a>. <a href="http://www.hospitalitynet.org/news/154000320/4053362.html">Hospitality.Net</a> reports that Morgans has teamed up with Invesco Real Estate to purchase the hotel for

The city of grey and rain is gearing up for yet another <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Fashion%20Week%20Hotels">Fashion Week</a> and impending <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Anti-Royal%20Wedding%20Hotels">royal nuptials</a>, along with continued preparations for the 2012 Olympic Games, so our lady on the ground, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/user/Heidi%20Atwal">Heidi Atwal</a>, is guiding us through some of her favorite places. The UK prides itself on traditional Sunday roasts, not champagne brunches as we're accustomed to Stateside.

Taking inspiration from its fashionista location in Shoreditch the hotel has asked three designers, Project Orange, Suzy Hoodless and Adrian Kilby to each design a Hoxton bedroom of the future. As we speak each of the 3 rooms are being tested by regular guests and their feedback will help choose the winning room design. We managed to sneak a peek inside the room designed by Suzy Hoodless. The room is 'industrial chic' and pays homage to the East London clubs nearby with mock concrete walls and low lighting. Instead of a wardrobe there is a dress painted on the wall
