If you are searching for somewhere special to stay during your break in the capital, why not take a look at the selection of boutique hotels in London?

The city has a vast choice of accommodation for visitors to choose from, ranging from budget hotels to luxurious five-star properties with worldwide reputations.

Whatever type of hotel you are looking for, you are sure to find somewhere to suit, even if you want a room in a hotel with a difference.

London has a number of excellent boutique hotels to choose from, where you can expect to receive the highest level of service in unusual surroundings.

Why choose a boutique hotel in London for your break?

Boutique hotels usually focus on two things – service and being unique – making them the ideal destination for a break to mark a special occasion.

Of course, there are lots of London hotels where you can expect excellent service, but boutique hotels tend to go that little bit further and provide touches of luxury you are sure to remember.

Among the little things that may make a difference to your stay are a choice of bedding, an evening turndown service, having the television guide in your room left open at the right day and, in some hotels, even a butler to unpack your cases on arrival.

Boutique hotels usually have interior design schemes that really set them apart from chain properties, with spectacular decoration in the lobbies, dining rooms and bars.

The unique feel continues in the guest rooms, which tend to have unusual decor that ensures they don't look like standard hotel rooms. Some of the rooms have the high-class feel of a traditional country manor house, while others have a sleek modern feel, but all have top-class facilities.

As well as huge beds, desks and luxurious en-suites, you may also find your room has top-class entertainment systems complete with flat-screen TVs, DVD players and perhaps even iPod docks.

The best boutique hotels in London

One of the most luxurious boutique hotels in the capital is the Chesterfield Mayfair.

Located close to Hyde Park and within easy walking distance of London's main shopping and theatre districts, the hotel is housed in a Georgian property that was once the home of the Earl of Chesterfield.

It is easy to imagine it as a luxurious home of an aristocrat, as many of the original Georgian features have been retained in both the guest rooms and communal areas.

The Chesterfield Mayfair has all the facilities you could possibly need for your break and is also one of the few central London hotels to allow guests to bring their pets – it even has a dog walking service.

Another hotel you may want to look at for your holiday is The Milestone, which is in a magnificent Grade II listed building in Kensington.

Each of its 44 rooms and 12 suites is unique, and guests can take advantage of a 24-hour butler service.

It is also well worth considering the five-star Egerton House and Cadogan hotels in Knightsbridge or the understated Bentley in South Kensington for your upmarket break.
