London is more than half – the rest spreads across 51 places
125 of our 213 properties stand in London. That is 59 percent of the entire portfolio in a single city.Shangri-La at The Shard LondonThe remaining 88 properties spread very wide: after Edinburgh with 14 and Bath with 5 it thins out immediately. 53 properties stand in places for which there is no overview at all – spread across 51 different places. Only two of them carry more than one property.Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comIn practice: with us the United Kingdom is not a country of cities but one of country houses. Searching outside London usually means searching for a single property in a county – not choosing between several properties in the same place.
London is the more expensive end: the 125 London properties start between around 162 € and around 1,200 €, with a mid-point of around 386 €. The 88 properties outside come to around 270 €.
suitespot rates are full direct rates: the benefits come on top of the regular rate.
Three entries are trains
Not every entry in our list is a property with rooms. In the United Kingdom that applies to seven entries at once.
Three trains
The British Pullman, the Royal Scotsman and the Britannic Explorer are luxury trains. For all three no entry rate per night is on file – we clarify dates and prices for the route you have in mind.
Four estates above 2,000 €
All four entries above 2,000 € are estates, not hotel rooms. Three of them are country houses in the Cotswolds: Cirencester Estate (around 10,300 €), Coombe End Manor Cotswolds (around 7,810 €) and Churchill Manor Cotswolds (around 5,839 €).The Balmoral, a Rocco Forte Hotel, EdinburghThose are rates for the whole property, not for a room.
Without those four the country ends at 1,200 €
The country's most expensive hotel room is then found at the The Chancery Rosewood London at around 1,200 €, followed by the The Emory London (around 1,155 €) and the Dorchester Hotel London (around 1,087 €) – all three in London.
What a hotel night costs
An entry rate is on file for 205 of the 213 entries: from around 92 € to around 10,300 €, with the mid-point at around 332 €.Andaz London Liverpool Street16 properties start below 150 €, 32 below 200 € and 84 of the 205 below 300 €.
152 of the 205 sit below 500 €, 53 above, eight from 1,000 € and four from 2,000 €.
Most affordable are the Hotel Indigo Torquay (around 92 €), the The Municipal Hotel Liverpool (around 98 €), the Kimpton Clocktower Manchester (around 102 €), the Hotel Indigo Gloucester - The Forum (around 111 €) and the Tudor Park Marriott Hotel (around 112 €).
Notably: not one of these affordable properties stands in London. There the least expensive property starts only at around 162 €.
For eight entries no entry rate is on file, among them the three trains.
41 percent of the properties carry no programme at all
125 of the 213 properties belong to a points programme, spread across 16 different ones. 88 carry none – 41 percent.
At the front stands Marriott Bonvoy with 35 properties, then I Prefer with 19, IHG Rewards with 15, the Leaders Club with 12 and ALL (Accor) with 9.
After that it becomes very fragmented: Radisson Rewards with 7, World of Hyatt with 6, plus Hilton Honors, GHA Discovery and Fans of Mandarin Oriental with 5 each, Jumeirah ONE with 2 and one property each at SLH Invited, Shangri-La Golden Circle, Taj InnerCircle, Brilliant by Langham and Meliá Rewards.
In practice: 16 programmes sound like plenty of choice, but eleven of them hold five properties or fewer. If you want to earn points in the United Kingdom there is little way past Bonvoy – if you do not, the 88 programme-free properties hold the country's real depth.
A points credit is on file at 100 properties.
