Renaissance London Chancery Court

Frommer's Review

This landmark 1914 building in the financial district opened as a hotel in 2003, and it's retained some of the best architectural features of its Edwardian heyday while becoming cutting edge in its modern comforts. The building has been used as a backdrop for such films as Howard's End and The Saint because filmmakers were drawn to its soaring archways and classical central courtyard. The glamorous and exceedingly comfortable rooms are all furnished with fine linens and decorated in hues of cream, red, and blue. The bathrooms are about the most spacious in London, clad in Italian marble with lavish tub/shower combinations. The best accommodations are on the sixth floor, opening onto a cozy interior courtyard hidden from the busy world outside.
