Priceline Hotel: 5* London (Westminster) Intercontinental London Westminster

Priceline has a new 5 star in Westminster London!

I have spent several days researching London for our upcoming stay. My main criteria were location and bed size. I tend to snore so the greater distance my wife & I are separated while sleeping the better. I researched all of the hotels on the winning bid list for the locations I was interested in and found too many contenders with queens (just acceptable) or smaller beds. I was about to give up and go with a reseller like hotels.com, but I decided to try low balling the 5 stars in Westminster as there were only two listed on the winning bid list. I am not an expert Priceline bidder, but I figured I would have seven free bids per 24hr. My bids were 150, 155, 160, 165, and 170. Much to my surprise I won. My next two bids were going to be 173 and 176 so I was near the top of my range but I absolutely did not expect to win at all. The total was $208.34 per night after taxes and fees.

I was worried when I saw a hotel name that I did not recognize pop up on my confirmation, but after a little research it looks like this place is VERY nice. Opened in November of 2012, free WiFi, 5 minute walk to Big Ben & Westminster Abby, many more pluses. Woohoo!

I used the betterbidding.com PRICELINE link for my purchase.

My next project is for three days in Paris (near the Louvre) where we will celebrate our 20th anniversary (April 2 thru 5). I will also be looking for a single night in Munich where we will be flying home from on April 17. The rest of the time we are going to wing it. All tips and suggestions will be appreciated.

Congratulations on your success!

Although not one of the hotels you were expecting, glad to see you're pleased with the results and scored a deal for even less then you though possible!

Thank you for using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding and sharing your win, helping us add this property to the Priceline Hotel List.

Enjoy your stay.
