Hi I am travelling to London this week and will be staying in a hotel for a few nights. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions of which hotel to stay in.
I would like to arrange a meet or 2 while I’m there. However most hotels now require you to use your keycard just to access the lifts or floors. Being a TV who likes to be discreet i wouldn’t feel comfortable coming down to reception all dressed in fishnets etc. to bring someone up to the room.
Does anyone know of any nice hotels in Central London which don’t require the room key to access the lifts/stairs/floors?

Leonardo Royal hotels don’t require a key and neither do Hilton’s as far as I rem_mber.
Try the Leonardo Royal at Saint Pauls. Great location, really nice hotel and plenty of people nearby. |

"Try the Dorchester.
Been there many times and have had great service every time.
Yes, its only £900 a night"
And it DOES require a keycard to access the floors so is out of the question anyway  |

"Personally my honest advice, don't go to London.
It's too dangerous, the police don't have it under control. I don't go there anymore and don't intend to.
"
Great opinion
Look at other uk cities and the rides in crime.
It’s not just London
And it tends across the uk to be the same elements of society that are dying.

Easily overcome, when reception ring you to let you know that your guest has arrived, just tell them to bring him/her to the room. You pay for good service get them to do it.
When you add up all the facilities and service it's actually very good value. |

There are 1133 hotels in London so it is impossible to make recommendations without knowing budget, location and what sort of hotel you are looking for
Many of the big brands are franchised, so security arrangements and down to the individual owner or operator and you can’t say that “X” brand does or doesn’t have key card readers as it varies by each site.
I’d suggest you’ll be fine in any big corporate hotel which are fairly anonymous, but I’d avoid smaller boutique properties which are more personalised service. In a large hotel they won’t even notice you at all.
You could always call in advance of booking to ask, it’s a perfectly normal question, security is important to a lot of guests. Or leave a second key for your companion at reception if you know their name. If you’re really worried about it then use AirB&B, but honestly you’ll be fine in most hotels.
Also feel free to message me with your price & budget and I can try to recommend somewhere for you. |

They won't know you're you.
A hotel will have loads of guests, if you get ready in your room and go down to reception to meet someone the staff won't recognise you because you'll look totally different.
