Hotel Information: Converted to a hotel in 1971, this historical property was built in 1884 as a home for international diplomats and prestigious clubs. Today, the French chateau-style, 10-story building is still a riverside landmark. Door staff in top hats welcome suited executives and casually dressed vacationers into the airy lobby, with its chandelier, brass table lamps, striped sofas, and oak fireplace.

Amenity highlights: Guests have 24-hour access to the fitness center with its range of cardio machines, or they can enjoy the Thames-side location by joining the many joggers along the embankment. The large restaurant retains a surprisingly intimate ambience and has a modern European menu. A business center (surcharge) offers high-speed Internet access; two floors of grand meeting rooms, with restored Victorian decor, can accommodate 250 people.

Insider tip: The subterranean Cabinet War Rooms, from which Churchill directed Britain’s armed forces in World War II, are two blocks from the hotel. The site is now a museum, offering the chance to see one of the war’s best-kept secrets.
