Westminster Hotels

Just southwest of the City of London and right beside the Thames, the neighborhood of Westminster (not to be confused with its borough, the City of Westminster) contains many of the city’s tourist attractions, including Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Cathedral.

Hotels in this area offer an extremely convenient location for first-time visitors.
