london-ers
 
what are some really neat hotels to stay at/party at?

i'm coming in a couple of weeks and need to make reservations soon

also, let's party.

In a weird way, Londoners are, by definition, the worst people to ask about London hotels, seeing as how they're the one people that never use them.

I'd say go for location rather than facilities, cos you're not gonna wanna be stuck in some party central mega hotel if it means you're stuck out in somewhere like Cricklewood.

You'd probably be better off asking people whose taste you trust that travel regularly TO London, rather than those that live in it.

Whatever you decide, avoid the Hammersmith area. Boring fucking shit-hole of a place.

The Sanderson is the expensive party hotel of choice i believe, but like demonrail said, i don't really know.

demonrail666 05.15.2008 06:28 AM

Yeah, if your funds can run to it, the Sanderson is a good option. But equally, if you can afford to stay there, I sort of already hate you/want you to lend me money.

Covent Garden has a good one that was opened by that hotel magnate who got busted for drugs, I can't remember what it's called, though. I'm sure it would be very, very pricey but it has a reputation for being a good one on the market (according to the sort of crap that I read on Sunday supplements, anyway) and affordable for a rich Texan oil magnate like you.

Slightly off topic, but genius nonetheless:

When Sir Elton was staying at, I think it was the Hilton overlooking Hyde Park, he insisted on being put on the top floor penthouse of what is, for London, a very tall building. He rang down to reception to complain of a whistling sound in his room, to which he was informed that that was the wind outside. To Which Sir Elton replied frustratedly, "well you're going to have to fucking stop it then." Cocaine and power, doncha just love it?

I travel to London a lot. My recommendation is to stay on Matt's floor, or Mohammed's (he does good breakfast) or, if you want to get decently drunk, Toni's. There are other options, obviously.

demonrail666 05.15.2008 01:06 PM

Yeah, Mohammed's breakfasts are amazing, but watch he doesn't break the yoke on the fried eggs.

Seriously though, why spend uber-dosh on a London hotel when you're only gonna be sleeping there? B&B is the way to go, surely.

Glice 05.15.2008 01:09 PM

I meant to mention - I'm due to be up in London a few times soon (which is, coincidentally, going to destroy me) so, like, PM me and we'll 'party' if I'm about and shit. NB - the polite way to describe 'partying' in London is to 'get cunted'

cryptowonderdruginvogue 05.15.2008 01:20 PM

So down!
I'll let you know as soon as I make reservations

pokkeherrie 05.15.2008 04:29 PM

I've been told these two know how to party

 



... just follow the paparazzi to find out where it's at.

you must be following me because i've had this arranged for months. england then france.

coachella was not that great actually. roger waters and spiritualized i really enjoyed however. that plane scared me a bit but i was quite out of my head.

haha how did you manage to get banned from there?
i love the soho grand. the chelsea will remain my favourite forever though, i was camped out there for a bit before i moved where i live now (which is only until this weekend and then i'm kissing my squalid little chrystie st. apt goodbye forever)

Rob Instigator 05.15.2008 05:06 PM

"getting cunted"

such an ugly ugly way to demean the wonderful female organ....

cryptowonderdruginvogue 05.15.2008 05:11 PM

where are you moving into???

I got a place on bleecker and sullivan lined up


Oh and it was the last time I was up there that I got banned
This french girl that I was talking to at the time, whom I had met on my last trip to paris, came to NYC to visit me
I was staying with a friend, so I thought i'd get us a room for the night
Well, we partied super hard at my friends apt and went out
Went back to the Soho Grand around 3 am
She asked the guy at the front desk for a water bottle but he said he didn't have any
So she like flipped out and started screaming in french at the guy
I was trying to get her to calm down
The guy told us to leave and never come back
She wouldn't calm down, so he called the cops
We stumbled out into the cold rain and looked for another hotel
We ended up staying at the Hotel Azure

Crazy night

Is there a retarded version of google? Covent Garden is a place not just a street.

demonrail666 05.16.2008 04:42 AM

Covent Garden's not just a place, it's a STATE OF MIND!

A rather dull one, at that.
