you could try the new Hoxton hotel - has had good reviews and apparently doesn't rip you off like other hotels on mini bar prices etc!

oooh-off to have alook now-thanks!

Any other suggestions then keep 'em coming!

do you mean the City or London generally. Friend of mine had her wedding anniversary in the Charlotte Street Hotel, a luxury boutique hotel. It's on the web

bakedpotatooooowoooh · 09/10/2006 17:27

i've drunk at the Great Eastern, it's a Conran hotel I think

wheelsonthebus · 09/10/2006 17:28

it's at www.firmdale.com

I've been to a wedding at the Great Eastern - it's lovely. Though being right next to Liverpool St station it's not the best location. If I was you I would go for a hotel in Clerkenwell - I've always fancied the Zetter or the Rookery. But being a Londoner myself, I rarely have the opportunity to actually stay in these places!

WitchICouldGiveUpWork · 09/10/2006 17:33

You lot are great!

Needs ot be "city" as have to take clients to Arsenal game on the Saturday so want to be relatively close as I hope to have a huge hangover and a wonderful lie in without dd!

Ive drunk at the Great Eastern with a mumsnetter. and the bar is lovely

WitchICouldGiveUpWork · 09/10/2006 17:45

Well if any other MN'ers fancy getting drunk there with me on Friday night then come on down!

OP posts:
bakedpotatooooowoooh · 09/10/2006 17:47

so drunk that my memories of the bar are rather impressionistic
i think there was a chandelier

WitchICouldGiveUpWork · 09/10/2006 18:04

And did you swing from it or just toss an item of clothing up there

I bought my sister a night (without kids, the idea was a good nights sleep) at Malmaison in Clerkenwell and she said it was fab and quiet as it's in a private square.

WitchICouldGiveUpWork · 09/10/2006 22:51

Now that sound slike a good idea www....

Well stayed at The Great Eastern in the end and have a hangover (still)the size of a small continent.
Great cocktails-think I probably tried them all...
Thanks to everyone for your recommendations-had such a lovely time taking my hangover round Borough Market this morning for breakfast I may just have to repeat the exercise!
