The Buzz in London: The Corinthia Hotel Opens in April 2011

The new Corinthia Hotel in London has been getting all kinds of press love recently. It's topped lists of the "Best New Hotels for 2011" before even opening its doors. We've been anxiously awaiting the opening date, so imagine our delight when Hotelchatter tipped us off: the luxe hotel is taking reservations for April 2, 2011. Housed within a Victorian building close to Trafalgar Square, the Corinthia London promises opulence through and through. We like the sound of the high-ceilinged loby and the on-site spa by ESPA, touted to be the biggest in London. From the spacious guest rooms, views of the Thames and Trafalqar Square will be yours. Restaurants include a modern British grill, The Northall, plus Massimo's Restaurant and Oyster Bar, and Basson, the hotel bar.
