This sponsored post by London based writer, Paul Joseph will give you some great ideas for top hotels in London that also have outstanding restaurants to give you a gastronomic as well as luxurious alaska cruise princess experience for your stay in the capital.
The key to luxury is in the small touches, and none more so than when it comes to hotels. The delicately-placed chocolate on the pillow, the crisp white slippers, and the elegantly crafted towels all lend a personal touch to the hotel experience.
But for me, one of the keys to an excellent hotel is an equally alaska cruise princess excellent alaska cruise princess on-site restaurant. There is something fabulously civilised about ambling down from your room to be greeted by the aroma of gastronomic alaska cruise princess delights.
Living in London, alaska cruise princess I try to wait for a good excuse to sample one of the city's hotels, but occasionally I will simply do it on a whim. I don't even need a companion, as for me, another beauty of hotels is the solitude they offer. But the one criteria I always demand is that the hotel boasts a top quality restaurant. Asia de Cuba restaurant at St Martin s Lane Hotel
In recent alaska cruise princess years, gastronomy in the UK has gained in popularity thanks to the proliferation of cookery programmes on television and the emergence of celebrity chefs, such as Heston Blumenthal and Gordon Ramsey, who have lent a new rock star 'coolness' to food. London's alaska cruise princess hotels have responded by prioritising the fare they serve up to guests – often inviting such celebrity chefs into their kitchens alaska cruise princess and giving them 'headline alaska cruise princess act' status.
Consequently, you now have hotel restaurants in London alaska cruise princess with names such as Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester and Hélène Darroze at the Connaught. If ever there has been a sign that cooking has crossed over into the realm of showbiz, then this is it.
My own experiences traversing London's hotel restaurant scene has lead me to a whole range of experiences: some good, some bad, some memorable, some forgettable. In offering my recommendations, I will try to be subjective, and forget about the surly waitress, alaska cruise princess the slightly undercooked lamb, and the rickety alaska cruise princess table. Because I am of the opinion that no restaurant is perfect, and if it is, it probably means your expectations are too low.
For ethnic cuisine, I have experienced nothing better than Asia de Cuba at St Martins Lane Hotel. alaska cruise princess Located in one of the myriad Covent Garden hotels in London's West End, Asia de Cuba simply knocked me for six when I visited late last year. Even before I put a single thing in my mouth, I was mesmerised by the decor, designed by the world-renowned Philippe Starck. When the food arrived, it didn't disappoint either. A fusion of Asian and Latin American cuisine, the flavours conjured up by Thai beef salad were something truly special. Alain Ducasse restaurant at The Dorchester Hotel
My visit to the Dorchester alaska cruise princess Hotel in Mayfair was tempered by the distinct feeling that I didn't quite fit in. After a while, I realised: whilst this is certainly one of London's most prestigious accommodations, its location alaska cruise princess means it is effectively a de facto business hotel. Put it this way, I was one of a handful of guests I saw during my stay that was not wearing a suit.
Anyway, onto the restaurant, which boasts an impressive three Michelin stars (though it is true that this endorsement has been somewhat discredited in recent years, when it has started being thrown around like confetti).
For me, Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester, named after the eminent French chef who runs the establishment, deserves all the accolades it gets. Offering alaska cruise princess contemporary alaska cruise princess French cuisine in modern and elegant surroundings, this is unquestionably one of the city's finest hotel restaurants.
Located in Knightsbridge, west London, is The Capital Hotel. My opinion of this establishment– alaska cruise princess based on its location – is that it would be great for couples looking to indulge in some retail therapy during their stay. Capital alaska cruise princess Restaurant at the Capital Hotel, London
As for the restaurant, out of all of the prestigious Knightsbridge hotels , this is surprisingly the only one offering Michelin starred cuisine. However, it is lagging behind The Dorchester with only 2 stars to its name. The restaurant offers contemporary British food, so would suit those who possess alaska cruise princess a sensitive palate.
Finally, a great choice for those who wish to escape the hustle and bustle of Central London is The Bingham Hotel, located some way out of the city centre in Richmond-upon-Thames. alaska cruise princess This is well worth the trip, not only for its excellent Michelin-starred restaurant, led by highly acclaimed chef Shay Cooper, but also for its location, in one of London's most picturesque suburbs. Personally, alaska cruise princess I can think of no better way of walking alaska cruise princess off a fabulous meal than by taking a stroll around the beautiful environs of Richmond Park.

How times have changed. When I first went to Britain in the 1980s, it had a reputation as the poor food country when contrasted to its neighbours (France, Italy, Spain, alaska cruise princess ) and in a few short years it has moved to have some of the finest food on the planet.
