STRAND PALACE

General

Touch base with home or office using property-wide Internet access. Look sharp for that morning meeting thanks to our ironing and laundry services. Feeling overwhelmed by all the city has to offer? Allow our professional concierge to help you navigate restaurant reservations, theatre tickets – or perhaps just the tube map. Come for the location but stay for the service, and discover a truly unbeatable value at one of the best Covent Garden London hotels. Works will be taking place on the external building and windows of the guest rooms from the 01st October 2011 until February 2013. Some rooms will have scaffolding visible from the windows. This will just be erecting the scaffolding and the work itself (brickworks and replacement of windows) will only start in January 2012.
