Business Travel is much of the time very stressful as well as tiring. Staying at a hotel that will diminish that stress and allow you to get a good night’s sleep can make all the difference in the world to not only have great meetings, but also be more productive.

We’ve surveyed some of our clients to ask their traveling executives on the best hotels to stay in different cities around the world. In this post we’ll focus on the UK.

They’ve shared their choices based on the following:

  • The availability of WIFI-Ready business centers for them to work, print documents, hold video conferences and all else they feel they need to increase their productivity and achieve success.
  • Proximity to business districts where their current and potential clients are based.
  • Executive lounges where they can unwind with great food and drink.
  • Amenities such as Full-Service laundry and Fitness centers.
