Weekend City Breaks In London ? The Carlton Tower Hotel 5* (Knightsbridge)

Boasting 220 sumptuous en suite bedrooms, many of which overlook the exquisite gardens of Cadogan Place, the Carlton Tower hotel effortlessly embodies panache and flair. Served by two excellent restaurants and accompanying bar, the Carlton Tower is the ideal base from which to explore London past and present. The hotel offers an accomplished Health Club, adorned with excellent facilities including a fully equipped gym and swimming pool.

Situated at the hub of Knightsbridge, the Carlton Tower is at the doorstep of many of the world?s most elite stores including Harrods and Harvey Nichols. The most highly concentrated area of fashionable boutiques can be found on Sloane Street, a shopper?s paradise.
