  Top shelf service, convenient to transport

  The CP - The City is a bit tucked away and their target customer is the business traveler but it also works well for leisure tourists. It is easy get around central London, especially with the newly renovated Blackfriars station (Circle & District lines)literally on its doorstep and Embankment (Circle, District, Bakerloo & Northern lines) a brief stroll away. Across the bridge is the South bank attractions For those who don't mind walking the West End is no more than 15 minutes by foot. Walk across Blackfriars bridge to the South bank to get to the Tate Modern and further on to Southwark attractions.
  
  The immediate neighborhood is business oriented and thus rather quiet evenings and weekends. As is common with properties catering to business travelers rates tend to be higher during the week but weekends sometimes see some good offers. Whether weekday or weekend, the place is quite well put together. The decor uses understated but elegant colors and textures. Lovely lobby and lounge areas. We were upgraded to an executive room which was a nice size and furnished with very good bed and linens,and well equipped though the charge for WiFi is - as is so common in London hotels - not cheap. The club lounge is very well done.
  
  By far the best feature of all was the staff, who were gracious and helpful at every encounter. Concierge was especially pleasant and assisted with planning visits to local sights, including providing a chit for complimentary entrance to St. Paul's.
