Guide Review - The Trafalgar London - A Hilton Property
Though precisely where it's supposed to be, there is no indication on the outside of the hotel that The Trafalgar is part of the Hilton family (but you'll rack up the Hilton points just the same). Step inside the sleekly modern lobby and you'll see that, from the black-clad staff to the minimalist decor, the entire hotel is a departure from the usual Hilton hotel fare.

Rooms at the Trafalgar are stylishly crisp and clean, and include all the amenities you'd want away from home (high-speed internet, laundry, room service, safe, etc.). Slip into the plush terry robes and slippers after a long day of work, or enjoy a drink in the hotel's artsy, award-winning bar, The Rockwell. Breakfast is well worth getting up early for (especially on the company's dime), with an array of baked goods, fresh fruit and hot meals to order. If you are a Hilton Gold Member or better, breakfast is on them!

Located in the heart of Trafalgar Square, the central location of this hotel makes it the perfect home base for London business travelers. A short walk to public transportation, you're also within walking distance of Covent Gardens shopping district (don’t forget gifts for the family!), as well as key tourist sites including Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Hyde Park and more.

One of the best vantage points to see London sits atop The Trafalgar. The roof garden boasts sweeping views of the city, so you can sightsee while putting together presentations or catching up on email. Though there is no shortage of drinking holes in the city, you may find yourself heading for this tranquil escape nightly.

If you're traveling to London for work, consider a stay at the Trafalgar.
