Here’s my problem: I want to stay in a centrally located London hotel that combines thoughtful design and attentive service with a touch of luxury — you know, those little details, such as a heated towel rack in a bathroom stocked with big fluffy white towels, maybe some Penhaligon’s or Molton Brown toiletries and a de... |
That may sound like a lot — about $260 a night — but consider this: A late October stay at the Savoy would run about $935 a night. Even the U.S. State Department allows employees traveling to London a per-diem of $299 a night. |
I’ve found a solution: Many four- and five-star London townhouse hotels sell their coziest rooms at a relatively affordable price. |
These rooms, often on the highest floors, usually offer the same fine bed linens, 24-hour room service and elegant marble-clad bathrooms you would find in the bigger and much more expensive rooms. |
►Because some of these rooms sleep only one person, make sure to choose “one guest” when searching on websites to ensure the smaller rooms show up. |
►Prices listed here include tax and reflect the lowest rates I found for off-peak travel, but rates and rooms are as always subject to availability. Demand often increases prices or, conversely, lowers them. |
The five-star, 35-room Draycott Hotel doesn’t mince words: “Single rooms are small,” it says on its website. How small? About 123 square feet, slightly less than the lowest-category cabin on many cruise ships. |
Even so, you’ll get a power shower in the bathroom, free Wi-Fi, individual climate control and satellite TV. |
With rates starting about $199 a night, the price is hard to beat, especially because your stay includes complimentary afternoon tea and shortbread cookies (baked fresh by the managing director’s wife) and, each evening, a free Champagne happy hour (it’s the real deal, not sparkling white wine) served in the comfy sitt... |
It rents a 107-square-foot “box room,” so called because that’s where they would have stored the boxes in days of yore, for about $199 a night if you choose the right dates. |
The Bloomsbury Hotel, a short walk from the British Museum, offers “cosy” rooms (173 square feet) decorated in soothing creams and taupes. |
Enjoy the bathroom’s heated marble floors, just like those in rooms costing twice as much, along with plush bathrobes, Nespresso coffee makers and luxurious duck down duvets, for about $260. |
Even though you’re paying a lot less than other guests, you can still join a free 70-minute walking tour of the storied neighborhood at 11 a.m. Saturdays, led by a licensed Blue Badge Guide. |
Info: 16-22 Great Russell St. |
At the 21-room Portobello Hotel in London’s Notting Hill, steps from the famous Portobello Road Market, “box” rooms offer single beds for solo travelers; “cosy” rooms come with a double bed. |
Whatever size you book, you get a free continental breakfast, free Wi-Fi, Nespresso machines and bottled mineral water. I found rates as low as $243 for the box rooms (110 square feet); the larger cosy rooms cost about the same or slightly more. |
The Dean Street Townhouse Hotel offers “tiny” and “cosy” rooms (160-180 square feet). Rates vary widely depending on season, but some nights you can book a room for about $209. |
The 39-room hotel, part of the exclusive Soho House group, sits halfway between Oxford Street and Covent Garden. |
With 129 rooms, Flemings Mayfair offers a “tiny single room” (86 square feet) as well as “deluxe single” rooms (129 square feet), in the city’s fancy Mayfair section. |
Nightly rates for the tiny singles run about $230; the deluxe singles cost around $26 more per night. |
No matter what the rate, you get nightly turn-down service, free Wi-Fi, marble baths and 24-hour room service. |

James Mason and Jenna Rosenow speak out against online bullies. |
Neighbours stars James Mason and Jenna Rosenow have spoken out about cyber-bullying in a new video released by the soap. |
Neighbours has been tackling the issue on Australian screens this week as Rosenow's character Amber Turner became involved in a Twitter war with Cassie Nicholls, an enemy at school. |
Mason's alter ego Chris Pappas was seen comforting Amber as she felt bullied by her peers, but events later took a worrying turn when Cassie went missing following the catty exchanges. |
Addressing fans in an official Neighbours video, Rosenow explained: "Because these posts are seen by a large number of people and can be left online for a long period of time, the effects of cyber-bullying can be very damaging, leaving those who are being bullied feeling alone, afraid and rejected." |
She continued: "Everyone has a role to play in stopping bullying. Even if you're not the one that starts it, but you follow it, watch it or send it, then you're actually part of the problem." |
Mason added: "Just ask yourself, 'How would I feel if someone did this to me?' Always think before you post." |
Neighbours fans in the UK will see the cyber-bullying storyline on Channel 5 next month. |

AFTER a bad experience in January 2009 when its natural gas supplies were cut off for about two weeks, Slovakia is looking towards the east with renewed fear now that Russia has halted gas supplies to Ukraine. While the country is able to cope with a short-term halt in gas supplies thanks in part to gas reserves stored... |
Russia cut off gas to Ukraine on June 16, demanding upfront payments for future supplies, though gas transit to Europe should continue without any reductions. So far, the main gas companies in Slovakia, the gas utility SPP and the gas transporter Eustream, have not registered any changes in supplies of Russian gas via ... |
“If the halt in supplies is only temporary, in the horizon of several weeks, then neither Slovakia nor other clients in the EU should feel it significantly,” Karel Hirman, the director of the Energy Policy Section at the Slovak Innovation and Energy Agency (SIEA), told The Slovak Spectator. |
SPP has assured that as the key gas supplier in Slovakia, it has several tools to secure the country with a steady supply of natural gas in the event of a reduction of gas supplies from Russia through Ukraine. Its spokesperson, Peter Bednár, specified in the company’s press release on June 16 that SPP has at its dispos... |
Slovak Economy Minister Tomáš Malatinský convened a crisis staff meeting regarding gas supplies and energy security on June 16. The meeting was attended by representatives of gas companies Eustream and the distribution arm of SPP and the SPP parent company, and the gas storage company Nafta. |
Eustream is prepared, according to its spokesman, for complete cessation of gas supplies to Slovakia from Ukraine. It will rely on reverse flows from Austria in the volume of 23.8 million cubic metres of gas per day and the Czech Republic in the amount of 67 million cubic metres per day, both declared technical maximum... |
Hirman warns that if Russia continues to halt gas supplies to Ukraine, Slovakia and other gas consumers in Europe may encounter problems in the winter. |
Hirman specified that currently the Ukrainian gas storage facilities are at roughly 40 percent of the needed capacity, which is approximately 13.5 billion cubic metres of gas. If they are not filled during the summer, it would not be possible to compensate for this lost time in late summer or in autumn, and the insuffi... |
The gas pipeline in Russia and Ukraine was built in the era of the Soviet Union as a unified system, Hirman explained. Moreover, the transit system in Ukraine is not separated from the domestic distribution system. This is why, also due to the extremely long transit route from western Siberian gas deposits, the undergr... |
Perhaps as a response to threats by our president that the government would begin to levy tariffs on imported vehicles, Toyota and Mazda are rumored to be building a $1.6 billion factory in Huntsville, Alabama. |
"Toyota and Mazda are not going to find a better site than ours", Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff said in August. |
San Antonio was hoping to attract the plant, which will be built in the Huntsville area and will employ about 4,000 people. |
"The impact of an auto assembly plant extends beyond its immediate economic impact, and that's why states offer robust incentives", said Dennis Cuneo, a site-selection consultant and former Toyota executive. |
The plant will be located near Huntsville. |
The manufacturing plant is to be built in the Huntsville area not far from the Tennessee state line, said the person, who asked to remain anonymous because the site hasn't been officially announced. |
Toyota and Mazda Motor Corp. also plan to work together on various advanced auto technology, such as electric vehicles, safety features and connected cars, as well as products that they could supply each other, they said. |
Toyota will use the plant to build its best-selling compact auto, the Corolla, while Mazda will use it to build a new crossover vehicle. |
Mr Trump consulted with South Korean President Moon Jae-in on the matter, according to Pentagon spokesman Colonel Rob Manning. Later he said, "In terms of whether it's a one-off (gesture) from him or a real olive branch, I don't know". |
Her 5-year-old daughter loved cooking, too, so the family agreed to let her cook spaghetti as part of their Christmas meal. Another local pastor, Rev Jackie Robinson, said : 'This heinous atrocity is unimaginable, incomprehensible. |

"With this announcement, our world changes overnight", Battle said. "Starting from 2021, I'm confident that we run a highly competitive plant, by bringing together the expertise of Toyota and Mazda as well as the excellent Alabama workforce. It vaults Alabama to the top as an industry leader in producing the next gener... |
Officials in Alabama are expected to hold a news conference Wednesday afternoon to announce the plant site. |
For Mazda, the plant comes on line in a significant year that will mark the start of the company's second century of operation and second half-century of sales in the U.S. The automaker is enhancing its commitment to the U.S. market and will focus efforts on manufacturing and increasing sales in the country. |
"Mazda makes cars with a clear vision of how we want to inspire people, contribute to society and help preserve the beauty of the Earth". |
"The partnership between Toyota and Mazda will expand innovative automotive manufacturing in Alabama", Governor Ivey said. |
Amid tightening environmental regulations in the US, the likely challenge will be to create new added value, such as locally producing electric cars and replacing production models to better reflect demand. |
The news website AL.com reports that there are 57,000 Alabama residents employed in the industry, with more than 160 companies comprising the supplier chain. |
With the addition of the new plant, Toyota will have 11 manufacturing plants across the U.S. Mazda now doesn't have a manufacturing presence in the U.S. |
