What about The Dorchester? Tis very nice.

I stayed in The Millennium Hotel, just around the corner from Harrods while attending a training course in London. Although its a 'Thistle' Hotel I think, it was very very nice.

Well at £500 a night I was hoping for it to be a 5* hotel (doesn't have to be)

Just looking for somewhere quite central with a very nice room (maybe a Jacuzzi in the bathroom ;) )

The Cumberland is billed as quite luxury but it's a bit of a dump if you ask me. Dated, slightly smelly, dark and the food wasn't up to much.

when did you go? Didn't they refurb it not a long time ago?

For an occasion to remember, Ritz and Dorchester would be best. They are in a league of their own when it comes to quality and service. If you really want to spend £500 a night, you can get a mini Suite in either hotels for that price.

As already suggested, other choices include Claridges, Mandarin Oriental, Threadneedles and Savoy. If it gets any worse, InterContinental Hotel isn't a bad 5-star hotel but it lacks prestige. Avoid Park Lane Hotel (Sheraton) at any cost, not worth the price.
