"Having a home base within walking distance of Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, and Buckingham Palace is pretty darn clutch when visiting London—especially if it’s your first time there. Flocks of tourists and swerving double-deckers may slow you down in Westminster, but hey, at least you didn't sit in traffic to get here. The stylish Conrad London St. James has much more to offer than its prime central location, though. The business-forward lobby welcomes guests with creamy marble floors, polished dark wood, and lavish armchairs. Bedrooms are upscale, vaunting TVs enshrined in floor-to-ceiling glass, 400-thread count Egyptian cotton sheets, and rainfall showers. Whether you’re sightseeing steps away or rolling in bed, you’re at the place to be."
