In recent years a large investment has been made in all of the Thistle hotels upgrading their facilities. A lot of the hotels are grand old hotels requiring a lot of TLC, in the past Thistle were often accused of not investing in the required maintenance needed. The huge investment in the past few years have put this right, some of the properties that could not make the grade have been discarded.
The introduction of the Guoman brand differentiates the 'standard' 4 star hotels of Thistle from the Guoman properties that have a special 'something' about them.
Thistle and Guoman have a choice of hotels in the very heart of the West End, geographically the centre of London around Trafalgar Square. You can walk to most of the West End theatres from these properties, (Royal Trafalgar, Thistle Piccadilly, Guoman Charing Cross and Royal Horseguards hotels).
