Westminster Bridge crosses London's River Thames and runs from the district of Westminster in the north to Lambeth in the south. Visitors to London who stay in a hotel close to the bridge will not only enjoy comfortable accommodations with all standard amenities, but will be within easy access of attractions such as Westminster Abbey, 10 Downing Street, home of the British Prime Minister, and the Palace of Westminster--all within a 10-minute walk of the bridge.

Standout amenities include 37-inch LCD flat-screen televisions and bedside lighting controls. Shermans Travel notes the hotel's contemporary design that features a curved facade with colorful transparent glass panels, and color-changing lighting in the lobby. Facilities include a fitness center, 49-foot indoor swimming pool, and spa that offers massage treatments, facials, waxing and pedicures. The on-site Brasserie Joel serves French cuisine and received a nine out of 10 rating by the Times' food critic Giles Coren; guests can also dine at the Ichi Sushi and Sashimi Bar and have drinks at the Primo Bar or 1WB Lounge and Patisserie.
