The Stafford

Situated on the site that once held the home of Sir Christopher Wren, who is known for designing St. Paul's Cathedral, this tasteful hotel is located on a tranquil cul de sac in an exclusive residential section of town. Understatedly elegant, it spoils guests with marble bathrooms featuring deep tubs equipped with full-size soaps and shampoos in Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet fragrance. My favorite amenity was the soft, fluffy terry cloth slippers that greeted me on my pillow at turndown instead of a chocolate. Embroidered with the hotel's name, they felt sublime on my tired feet, which were still throbbing from a long evening walk through the London streets. The hotel's celebrated, cozy American Bar is decorated with an eclectic collection of ties, baseball caps, and other items that travelers have purposely left behind. Its head barman, Charles, claims to have exported the first dry martini to the U.S.
