The Second World War can be considered one of the greatest tragedies in the world. Its effects and damage spread to all corners of the world, spreading to different territories, countries and continents. London was not spared from its attacks.
In times of destruction and death, the hospitality industry in London was able to withstand the blows of war and collect pieces to start anew. The most famous hotel after the war was The London Hilton on Park Lane. This is the highest hotel in London and contains 450 rooms.
As of 2003, there were more than 70,000 three-star hotels in Central London in Central London. Luxury hotels are most often found in the West End, especially in Mayfair. Five-star hotels in London are relatively small compared to other hotels abroad. The largest London hotel Radisson Edwardian Heathrow has 459 rooms. These five star hotels differ in style, design and architecture. But, nevertheless, they will surely provide their guests with the comfort and relaxation they need.
Although most hotels in London are traditional grand hotels, such as the Ritz, Savoy and Dorchester, some of them are modern designer hotels such as St. Petersburg. George. Martins Lane Hotel. Hotel St. Built in the 1960s office block, Martins Lane was designed in the minimalist design of the 1990s by Philippe Starck. London switched to the construction of boutique-style hotels in the 1980s, while budget hotel chains, such as Travel Inn and Travelodge, became a trend in the mid-1990s. Entire hotels, such as the Four Seasons London, also woke up after the war.
This boom began in the mid-1990s, when new hotels began to open in every corner. By this time, London hotels offer more than before. The design of hotels varies from country style with a Victorian atmosphere to modernized minimalist spaces. It was at this time in London that the largest office buildings of the 20th century were converted into hotels using their long corridors and individual offices. Some of them are one Aldwych, designed with an interior at the beginning of the 21st century in a neo-baroque office building from the beginning of the 20th century; and the Office of the Revival Court, opened in the 1990s in a large office building in 1914.
So how did London really recover from the losses of World War II? When the war ended, the pace of building a hotel in London became relatively cheap, and then opened the door for businessmen to revive the hospitality industry again. By the 1970s, the construction of hotels was more intense due to uncontrolled inflation, the number of tourists reaching a maximum of 6 million in 1974, from 1.6 in 1963. This boom was caused by more affordable airfares, which attracted many visitors to London. The Government even released a hotel development incentive system to encourage the construction of more hotels to respond to the high demand for tourism.
Currently, the most profitable hotels with a large number of guests are those that are located at 5 major airports in London. The Marriott Country Hall, the Four Seasons Canary Wharf and the Marriott West India were among the first five-star hotels in London to flourish from 2000 onwards. As the 2012 Olympic Games approached in London, budget-oriented hotels began to appear in the city, preparing for the millions of tourists and visitors who would arrive by that time. Inns and type hotels such as Premier Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Ibis and Travelodge are located throughout London.
