Luxury Hotel Options in London, Ontario
4 Star Average Prices: $195.81
Since London isn't a resort city or major metropolis, the luxury hotel options in the city are more subtle than those you'll find in more tourist-concentrated areas. However, you shouldn't overlook the excellent accommodations with upscale amenities when you're looking for a luxury hotel in London.
Consider the Delta London Armouries Hotel. This 3 1/2-star property is in the center of downtown London, putting you within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The décor features a comfortable elegance, and you can upgrade your room choices to get lovely views of the city. Beds are pillowtop, and bathtubs are deep if you want to take a relaxing soak in the bathtub.
The Delta London Armouries Hotel features an indoor pool, sauna, spa tub, and fitness club. This smoke-free property also offers free Wi-Fi, a bar and lounge area, and express check-out.
Stay at Westover Inn and treat yourself to a boutique inn experience. The inn has only 22 guest rooms, and each is individually decorated. Property highlights include a garden and a seasonal outdoor pool. The property itself looks more like a small castle than a hotel, and it's nestled in the middle of a graceful wooded area. Technically, the inn is in St. Mary's, Ontario, but it's only 20 minutes to the center of London. Other amenities include free Wi-Fi, a fireplace in the lobby, and a terrace.
The Elm Hurst Inn & Spa is your three-star luxury destination if you seek spa amenities. This place offers a full-service spa where you can indulge in your favorite treatments.

I highly recommend staying at the Four Points Sheraton which is right beside the Comfort Inn & Suites. It is a quiet, clean hotel with a police officer stationed in the lobby in the evenings; very secure and safe. Centrally located with multiple restaurants nearby and the White Oaks Mall across the street. Their breakfast is not included but is a a large buffet with made to order omelets or eggs, which I have never seen in other hotels. The service is impeccable. The pool is warm and very large! Thoroughly enjoyed my stay there and will most definitely return.
