    Hotel in London.

    We're staying the whole weekend of the CUK Xmas do, and we need somewhere to stay.

    Last year we stoped at the Sanderson, but I got a bit p*ssed off with the bar (which is the most important bit, lets be honest!) so I dont want to stay there again.

    I love St Martins Lane hotel too, but I've stayed there before.

    What I'm looknig for is uber swankyness (as it'll be our AGM after all)
    Excellent cocktail/brandy bar
    Perfect location for shopping on the Saturday (although, everywhere in London is easy to get to I think).
    Easy enough to meet you lot on the Firday (which we cant answer, as we dont know where we're going yet!)

    Any ideas?

    I was thinking of the Met, but I'm not sure where Park Lane is in relation to anything (except on a monopoly board!)

    There's Le Meridien on Piccadilly that's very nice.

            Looks nice from the photos, rooms are very small, but ideal location and cheap if book through lastminute secret rooms (cira £80). 6/10.
            The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

            But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                If you're going to aurora let me know and I'll make sure that there's a wee something behind the bar for you. I'll be there in spirit, if not in body!

                  Find secret rooms if you have detective skills

                  Lastminute.com* sells discounted 'top secret' rooms, where it won't reveal the hotel until you've booked it. Yet it's often possible to cannily work out which hotel you're booking then compare the price.

                  First try copying and pasting the hotel description into Google and see what comes up; often the same text is used by many hotel booking sites, or just one key phrase. If this doesn't work, sort the list of hotels on lastminute.com into "closest to" order from a given point, and compare this to the distance the secret hotel is away. If the descriptions and distance are similar it's likely you've found the hotel.
