What to expect: Informal and busy, the Strand Palace is a magnet for vacationers and business travelers in search of a reasonably priced, central location. Guests stream in and out of the bright, marble-walled lobby furnished with potted palms and leather sofas.
Amenity highlights: The Strand Palace has its own arcade of shops, including a jeweler, and a souvenir shop. The Hops Bar has a lively atmosphere, especially when fans gather to watch live sports on the large TV screens.
Insider tip: Two blocks from the hotel, on the north bank of the River Thames, is Somerset House with its many art galleries and smart restaurant – and an ice rink in winter. The hotel is also five minutes from the culture-packed South Bank across Waterloo Bridge, home to the National Theatre, National Film Theatre, Royal Festival Hall, and Hayward Gallery.
