Questions
How are five-star hotels in London selected?
Each hotel needs a checkable five-star classification, a location that changes how the city works and a clear reason to choose it over another address.
How many London hotels are in this register?
3. This is a deliberately short first edition, not a directory of every five-star hotel in the city.
Does Linen Harbour rank the hotels in London?
No. The numbers organise the page. They do not claim that one hotel is universally better than another. The useful distinction is fit, location and character.
Can I book a London hotel through Linen Harbour?
Not yet. Linen Harbour links to each hotel for current room information and does not handle the reservation, payment or cancellation.
Why are there no prices on the London hotel pages?
A hotel rate without dates, room type and cancellation terms is not useful. Prices will appear only when a contracted provider can supply current terms.
Are the hotel photographs from the properties?
Not in this first edition. The register uses credited destination photography until property images with clear reuse rights are available.
