Holiday Inn

Both Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza hotel brands owned by Intercontinental Hotels are commonplace in London. There is also of course the Holiday Inn Express hotels that also have a firm foothold in Central London offering quality accommodation with less frills than the Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza featured on this page.


For North American visitors, the Holiday Inn's in the UK are considered by many people to be more upmarket than many of their counterparts in North America.


Both Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza have very volatile room rates. Rates can easily double from one night to the next.

Best rates are the advance purchase rates and generally the earlier you book the cheaper the room rate. Rates also tend to change a lot on the day of the week. Sundays is almost uniformly the cheapest night.

Hotels in the business areas like in the City of London tend to be cheaper at the weekend whilst those near the theatres are often more expensive at the weekend.
