Staying in is the new going out at the Draycott Hotel

The dreaded credit crunch is everywhere but The Draycott Hotel in the heart of Chelsea has declared their premises a credit-crunch-free zone. Now you can make the absolute most of your stay at this sumptuous hotel by dining in house on the house. Why not save yourself a hefty restaurant bill and a taxi ride and be in vogue? Because staying in is the new going out, so the finance gurus say - but did they predict dining in SW3 for free?

Of an evening in the dining room, the chef will be dishing up hearty English classics and old favourites such as shepherds pie (ketchup optional). With winter upon us, come and make yourself truly at home at this perfectly located and very elegant hotel with a distinctive country feel.

And there’s more credit-crunch-defying-action. Guests staying in suites will have none of the dreaded double C treatment. The Draycott Hotel has replaced that with the triple T treatment - “the Triple Truffle Turndown”! They have extended their services far beyond the simple slippers out and switching on of a side light and now give their guests a deluxe send off to lala-land of scrummy truffles, piping hot chocolate and a naughty shot of Baileys or perhaps whiskey.

The Draycott Hotel is a five star destination and has 35 rooms in total, each individually decorated but with an overall theatrical theme. Some overlook the hotel’s wonderful gardens, all are ensuite and have both a bath and power shower. Rooms also all have air-conditioning and working gas fireplaces. Complimentary tea and biscuits are served at 4pm, champagne (again complimentary) at 6pm and room service is available at all hours. The setting is one of luxury, tradition and just enough cosiness; and all of this on the doorstep of Chelsea and Knightsbridge.

Guests should be warned - they go shopping at their own risk - but with the €/£ exchange rate at the moment there’s never been a better time to stay in London to do your shopping!

Go on down to The Draycott Hotel to celebrate the credit crunch!
