I'm looking to book a nice hotel in London for a Saturday night in July.
We've got 2 primary school aged children.
I've just tried the Shangri la, but their suggestion is that 1 child shares our bed.
The idea of paying £600+ for a room but having to share a bed with a farting, snoring,fidgeting individual plus one of the kids some how seems wrong.
Any suggestions for a modern hotel in London for a special weekend at around the same price (or cheaper smile )?
Thanks

That looks very nice although there might get be at least one problem
The first is we were looking for something a bit more modern (unfortunately I'm in a wheelchair now and you tend to find newer buildings are a bit more accessible )
Far more importantly though is the price !
Although double room rates aren't to bad, I put 2 adults and 2 children in the search and the only result it came up with was the Manor House Suite at £10500 a night yikes
A bit out of my price range unfortunatelybiggrin

Where are you going to?

I always enjoy Doubletree at Tower Bridge, damn site cheaper than what you've been quoted.

The op seemed happy with £600 at the Shard which means he can stay almost anywhere.

Claridges have some two-room weekend offers in that range from time to time.

The new Mondrian (Sea Container House) has some good rates at the moment. Very modern, on the river

If the location works, this is a very easy place to stay, did a pre-Wimbledon overnighter there last year. Access would be great if in a wheelchair. Parking sorted for me without hassle. Didn't seem bonkers on price bearing in mind the location, not quite the Shard outlook mind!

Nice hotel, but smaller rooms I'm told.

How about one of these;
