#309: The Connaught (pg 25)

The Connaught Hotel is named after Queen Victoria's third son, the Duke of Connaught.  It houses 92 rooms and suites as well as the highly acclaimed restaurant, The Grill.

COST:  Rooms start at ~1100 pounds/night.  Entrees at The Grill average ~40-80pounds.  

Verdict:  There's no doubt that this hotel is high class in every way.  It's well-appointed.  The service is impeccable.  Amenities are plentiful and the history runs deep.  But even with all that, it's not something you need to experience before you die.  It's a very nice place to stay if you have the money, but nothing more than that.  Truthfully, I liked St. Ermine's better, which is ~400 pounds/night cheaper.
