The Regency InterCon reinforces that old adage: don’t judge a book by its cover. Although you’ll have to ignore both its external and internal appearance; the melancholic brown building would be better suited to housing students on the outskirts of London, while the clashing psychedelic bedroom interiors will play havoc with your eyes. Focus instead on the first-rate facilities; The well-maintained pool, squash courts, separate gyms for women and men, and massage and aromatherapy services, are the draw cards here. As the hotel is geared towards the hurried business traveller, each room has a specific check-in and check-out area, while the efficient business centre and meeting room ensures your administrative work ticks over smoothly. The hotel is also child friendly, as there’s a kids’ club and pool, and kiddies also get to eat for free.
