London's Grosvenor House Gets Grand Renovations

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: 86-90 Park Lane, London, United Kingdom, W1K 7TN

After four years of renovating work the Grosvenor House Hotel has rejoined the ranks of luxury five-star spots to stay in London. Just a couple of weeks back these smiley guys gathered for the official opening. Since it's been taken over by Marriott the hotel now has a (clumsy) new name: Grosvenor House, A JW Marriott Hotel.

Clumsy name or not, it sounds like there's nothing clumsy about the Grosvenor's new look. No expense spared--it's really a multi-million pound job--means that as far as luxury goes, there's not much to complain about. The only thing missing is a spa--but that's scheduled to be built and open for 2010.

Grosvenor House Offers Up Andy Roddick Plus Strawberries and Cream

We usually become tennis fans right around the time Andy Roddick hits the court, so today -- the day of his first-round appearance -- we sought out this Wimbledon hotel package for the semifinals and finals just in case we want to go see our favorite boy kicking ass over there. (Er, if he makes it that far).

Forbes reports that The Grosvenor House Hotel is offering up five nights (and breakfasts!) plus:

a seven-day London sightseeing pass, which allows complimentary entry at attractions including the Tower of London and Windsor Castle; and a ticket to the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum. Of course, the Centre Court Debenture ticket--for both the semifinals and finals--is what makes it all worthwhile. While you're watching the match, you'll also have access to the Debenture lounge, where there will be plenty of strawberries and cream to feast on.

Strawberries and cream. Andy Roddick. Oh, the possibilities...

Price per person starts around $4400 and can be booked through Sports in Style.
