Anti-Royal Wedding Hotels: Number Sixteen
Everyone's gone crazy over the impending royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton and London Hotels are doing their best to rile up crazed royal watchers. But Heidi Atwal is here this week telling you to JUST SAY NO to hotel packages built around the royal wedding and consider these alternatives instead.
With a Champagne Tea menu, exorbitant room rates (ranging from £130 for a Single Room to £290 for a Deluxe Room), private garden, mid-Victorian decor and posh South Kensington post code, you might assume that Number Sixteen was royally stuffy. Despite its luxurious trappings, there is something distinctly quirky about its accommodations, which bear something of a traditional British air but flauts tradition at the same time.

But Heidi Atwal is here this week telling you to JUST SAY NO to hotel packages built around the royal wedding and consider these alternatives instead.
In search of the antithesis of anything tinged with a mildly regal air, we can't seem to tear ourselves away from London's eclectic East End. No wonder: other areas of the city, particularly tourist-happy hubs in Central London, tend to be populated by standard chain fare and wildly overpriced as a result.

When Prince William and Kate Middleton announced their betrothal, London's hospitality industry was catapulted into a tizzy. How to accommodate throngs of tourists sure to descend on the city come April? What kitschy, regally-themed packages could be dreamt up and marketed post-haste?
