INTRODUCTION
I booked dinner and theatre for my wife's thirtieth birthday, and needed a relatively up-market hotel in London - with a bit of ?wow? factor - to overnight in. I am a frequent visitor to IC Hotel Group properties on business (these include the five star Intercontinental Hotels, the four to five star CrownePlaza, and the three to four star Holiday Inn) and am a member of their award-winning ?Priority Club? loyalty scheme, so I decided to use my accumulated points to redeem a ?Reward Night? and stay for free. The hotel is on Buckingham Gate, with extensive frontage featuring an attractive red and white brick façade with decorative arches, reminiscent of Florentine architecture.
GETTING TO & FROM
The hotel is in the heart of Westminster. It?s a short, three minute, walk from St James? Park Tube ...

a nice feel to them you can feel the build quality in the rooms the beds are comfortable the desk is made from oak tree they look and feel great.

Bed and breakfast
As part of the deal that I got was evening meal and breakfast included with the rooms (We had to pay for drinks) but it was a very good deal. We went down for dinner and were greeted by a very helpful member of staff who took us to a table ...
not easy, especailly with the buzzing traffic of central London. On the journey up to the hotel, we used satelitte navigation which was very easy. We punched in the postcode on the naviagtion and we did not need to worry about getting lost. The navigation took us the New Brdge Street, which is the street the hotel is is. We were all looking out for the hotel in the car, and we spotted the words "CrownePlaza" on one of the stone walls of the hotel. The hotel was in the middle of a busy street, and we had to take our bags out of the car and be quick getting out, as it was a busy road.
From the entrance of the CrownePlaza hotel, you can see the London Eye, one of London's famous landmarks, if you know how to get to the London Eye, then you woul know how to get to the hotel in New Bridge Street, even if you do not have navigational help ...
