hotels in london London hotel demand remains strongNew figures have shown a fall in the average price of a night in a London hotel; despite this, this an expert has said that the capital is “one of the most resilient” cities in the world.

Demand for weekend hotel rooms in London has been strong in recent months, the latest figures have suggested.

Research from Deloitte found that hoteliers in the capital knocked an average of £10 off their room rates in the first three-quarters of the year compared to the same period of 2008, suggesting that users of London car hire could bag a bargain.

This took average rates in the city to £98 per night, a 7.4 per cent drop.

Marvin Rust, Deloitte’s hospitality managing partner, said that given the current economic climate, these figures are “very impressive”.

He commented: “The capital is proving to be one of the most resilient cities across the globe. Leisure demand on the weekends has been particularly strong in London resulting in hotels achieving stronger results during several weekends this year compared to last.”

These figures come shortly after Richard Carrick, chief executive for Hoseasons, claimed that self-catering breaks are increasing in popularity.
