Millennium Bailey's Hotel, London

One of London's first purpose-built hotels, the Millennium Baileys is less formal than most, yet retains an elegant atmosphere. It's full of character with a wrought iron staircase and detailed cornices. Whichever type of room you want, this hotel is bound to have, be it standard, executive, superior or suite. Most facilities are provided, but where there's anything lacking, the next door Millennium Gloucester should have it. Situated in lovely South Kensington, the hotel is within easy reach of the Natural History Museum, the Victoria & Albert, Hyde Park, the Royal Albert Hall and Harrods. Baileys Olives restaurant and Olives bar (contemporary cuisine and cocktails) is quite a spot to quench your thirst. What more could you ask for!
