Hooray for the Hoxton: London for Less Than a $100 a Night

Where: 81 Great Eastern Street, London, United Kingdom, EC2A 3HU

HotelChatter contributor and current London resident Annabel sends us her hotel pick for London on the cheap.

As the US dollar continues to flounder like a hooked fish, London is perhaps not the most realistic option for many an American traveler. Well, at least it wasn't before the Hoxton Hotel came along. And where other budget hotels in the city look like your grandmother's holiday home circa 1942, the Hoxton Urban Lodge is a new, super-stylish facility in the heart of London's trendiest precinct - what more could you want?

From just £59 per night in the low season you can enjoy all the necessities the Hoxton has to offer including Frette linen, duck down duvets, free WiFi internet and a free Lite breakfast from Pret comprising a yoghurt, banana and orange juice.

Athletic types can run 500m down the road to the Market Sports Gym, where a fiver will entitle you to a workout, towel and locker key upon presentation of your room card. Non-athletic types can hit up The Grille restaurant which offers affordable food in a relaxed, bistro-style environment.

Whether you're in town for business or pleasure, the adjacent streets of the bustling East End provide no shortage of enticing nightlife options for the young and young-at-heart, whilst nearby tourist attractions include St Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London, the Tate Modern and Covent Garden.

Now taking bookings up until December 2008, grab a room now while the price is right.
