Hilton London Tower Bridge Perfect for Tourists and Business Travelers

  Site Where: 5 More London Place, Tooley Street, London, United Kingdom, SE1 2BY

The Hilton London Tower Bridge is a bit of a baby on the London hotel scene, but it's already climbed to 15th spot on the TripAdvisor ratings out of more than a thousand hotels, so you'd guess it can't be too bad. And apparently the New York Times agrees.

Their recent review gave the thumbs up to a good location, larger than average rooms with a practical place for luggage and a decent lobby. In fact, the only negative that the NY Times could pick up was poor placement of the towel racks in the bathroom. We think the £15 ($23) a day WiFi is worth a complaint too, but we're especially sensitive about those kind of things.

Situated in the rescued-from-rough-locals South Bank area of London, it is probably not a surprise that the Hilton London Tower Bridge is near the Tower Bridge; it's also walking distance to the Globe Theatre, the Tower of London, and it's a mile to the London Eye.

That means if you have to pay the £309 ($475) rack rate that the NY Times quotes, at least you can save a bit on taxi rides by sightseeing on foot. Or book a special for £136 ($210) instead--their current one gives you breakfast and exhibition tickets all for a lot less than the rack rate.

    it is pretty flash ...

    but remember if you're in the hotel their flashy website will cost you $23 a day to look at - perhaps that's how they funded the redesign ...
