Welcome to our July Newsletter 2025

As we contemplate the start of our 24th year in business, and before we take you down to memory lane, we want to share some show rounds we had recently in London which we hope you will find interesting.

The Royal Horseguards Hotel and One Whitehall Place, Westminster, London

I like to call it the “James Bond alley”, tucked just steps from the Houses of Parliament, this elegant hotel is perfectly placed near the London Eye offering incredible views of the Thames and Big Ben.
A five-star hotel in the heart of London offering good value for money, the hotel has 280 bedrooms and Suites, whilst the adjoining Whitehall Place offers a striking selection of spaces, across 14 meeting and event rooms. The Whitehall Suite for instance, can host up to 260 delegates in a theatre Style or 120 delegates in a cabaret style.
Exciting additions are on the way this Autumn, including a private Cellar, Mr Kipling’s Tea room and the Whitehall Tavern. And don’t miss this hidden gem this summer: their English Garden Terrace, tucked away in the middle of London.

Now for something different…

Over the years we have booked apartments in London and other UK Cities for our clients for both short and long stays in apartments in London for our clients.
I was lucky enough to stay at Locke near Aldgate, and I was very impressed by the security, the room with full air conditioning and plenty of space to work in the evening and excellent facilities. The rates are competitive for London, especially if booked in advance and we also receive preferential rates booking on behalf of our clients.

Locke apartments, London and Europe

Locke is different to other hotels. And proudly so. As a brand of 16 Lifestyle Hotels around Europe, they are an approachable but confident brand, subtle but brave and unafraid of standing out and from that boldness comes an inclusivity and warmth.
Another example is the Ember Locke. (See pictures below)
With 121 glamorous rooms and social spaces housed within a reimagined Victorian townhouse you will be transported to London’s ‘golden era’ at Ember Locke, their lifestyle hotel in Kensington. Whether you are arranging a formal meeting or a casual chat. A one-to-one or a group get-together. With their West London coworking space, dedicated meeting rooms, garden and restaurant, there is bound to be a perfect space at Ember Locke, Kensington.
Explore their collection around Europe and see why this brand is making its mark in the forward-thinking, experience-rich and culturally aware gateway Cities. And with new hotels in Canary Wharf and Copenhagen coming in Q1 2026, this is a brand that has its sights set firmly on the future.
