The Ultimate Film Buff’s Bucket List: 8 Hotels You'll Recognize Instantly | Condé Nast Traveler

"On London’s Strand, this grand hotel provides the opulent backdrop for one of Notting Hill’s most emotional scenes, when William Thacker crashes a press conference in the Lancaster Ballroom to win back actress Anna Scott in front of a crowd of reporters. The property itself is a quintessentially British address, with 263 rooms and suites featuring Edwardian details, crystal chandeliers, velvet-embossed carpets, and Art Deco furnishings that make it feel fit for royalty. That aura isn’t just for show; members of the monarchy have stayed here, and even The Crown has shot scenes within its walls, reinforcing its image as one of London’s most prestigious and cinematic hotels." - Adam Turner
