Best Preferred Hotels & Resorts in England

Situated in London's St. James's neighborhood by Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park and the National Gallery, The Stafford London is a great option for guests who want to unwind in style after sightseeing. The property's accommodations are spread throughout three buildings – the Main House, the Mews Suites and the Carriage House – and have neutral color schemes with floral accents and high-end fabrics. Standard rooms reside in the Main House and have marble bathrooms, free Wi-Fi access, HD TVs and Nespresso coffee machines. Suites come with sitting areas and extra perks like iPod docking stations and complimentary airport transfers to Heathrow Airport (when staying two or more nights). Recent lodgers appreciated these amenities and the homey room decor, although some said the customer service from the hotel's employees could stand to improve. Visitors also enjoyed the property's food and beverage options. An autograph-filled bar, a 380-year-old wine cellar and The Game Bird's Champagne Bar are available for libations, while afternoon tea and modern British pub dishes are served in The Game Bird's dining room. Wine tastings with the hotel's sommelier can also be arranged for a fee.

Timeless elegance can be found at The Beaumount hotel, located on a peaceful Mayfair square in London. Called the essence of "London luxury" by one recent traveler, the 73-room hotel is close to boutiques, galleries, restaurants and Hyde Park. Inside, the property has a 24-hour fitness center, a salon and a spa, as well as a restaurant and a bar. The Colony Grill Room serves American and European dishes and features maroon leather booths and black-and-white portraits of celebrities, much like New York City and London club rooms from the 1920s. For drinks and snacks, guests can visit The American Bar, which recent patrons said offers some of the best cocktails in London. When you're ready for a little R&R, retreat to one of the property's art deco-style accommodations. All have original artwork, king-sized beds and bathrooms with rain showers and heated floors. Room rates also cover local chauffeur service in a vintage car, daily continental breakfast and in-room Wi-Fi. According to past visitors, one of the highlights of this hotel is the top-notch service. The attentive staff members go out of their way to make guests feel at home, even though The Beaumont has a no-tipping policy.

Housed in a former church built between 1901 and 1903, L'oscar London has a distinct style that former guests can't stop raving about. Sitting pretty in Holborn, a quick stroll down the street from the Holborn Tube station and the theater district, L'oscar London offers a five-star stay with an attentive staff, according to reviewers. Rooms are elegantly dressed in jewel tones of magenta and gold, and feature hardwood floors, yoga mats and complimentary Wi-Fi access, as well as heated floors, anti-steam mirrors and rainforest showers in the bathrooms. Though the hotel offers little in the way of on-site amenities, such as a pool or fitness center, it does offer two restaurants – both of which are housed in spectacular spaces. Café L'oscar serves breakfast, lunch and dinner within its mirrored walls, which are also adorned with gilded panels and original art. The opulent interiors continue at The Baptist Bar & Grill, which dishes out an array of elegant dishes in a restored octagonal double-height chapel. Its adjoining bar plays up its heritage with Old and New Testament cocktails. Past guests described their meals here as "outstanding" and "excellent." As a member of the Preferred Hotels & Resorts brand, L'oscar London allows I Prefer members to earn or cash in points at the hotel.
