Getting the Best Price

As a global centre, London is busy all year round. December, July, and August are the busiest months of the year – and hotel prices rise accordingly. January and February are ideal for those looking for discounts on the price of a room.

Our Event Solutions Team offers free and impartial advice on hotel bookings for event planners and can help:

• negotiate special group rates
• arrange block bookings
• book rooms across several different hotels

Availability is offered as early as you like, but bear in mind that rates are generally only guaranteed up to 18 months in advance.
