City of London hotels
The City of London is the old part of London, the part that was once found inside the city walls. Today, The City is famous for being one of the world's most important financial centers. Staying in a hotel in The City is normally very expensive during the working week, but if you want to stay here during the weekend – when the stock market is closed – you can usually take advantage of special weekend offers.
If you really feel like splurging during your stay in The City, one option is the modern Malmaison London at 18-21 Charterhouse Square. At the other end of the price range, you will find hostels such as The City YMCA, St Paul's Youth Hostel and The Hoxton Urban Lodge.
Malmaison London
The Malmaison London, also known as London Mal, is located on 18-21 Charterhouse Square and is top-notch city hotel for visitors with deep pockets. This is much more than just a hotel, as it features a health club, sauna, steam bath, a barber/beauty shop, a coffee shop, a bar/lounge, a casino, and much more. This hotel consists of 6 floors (with elevators).
