tennis tastic and summer freebies!


I'm going tennis-tastic this week - with Murray reaching the semi-finals I am just on the edge of my seat every time he plays. Plus I am quite enjoying celebrity spotting - they're all there in the crowds - Ewan McGregor, Kate Winslet - all loving a bit of Andy, willing him on. I'm thinking I might head over to Wimbledon tomorrow night to watch it on the big screen on Murray mount I think they're calling it now. With the brand new roof on centre court we could be in for a long night again.... On Monday night I had to go for a drink in the bar at the City Inn Westminster as I just couldn't watch it any more - it was so tense. The bar there is actually pretty cool - I tried a couple of their cocktails and then had a whisky and then felt a whole lot better and relieved when I discovered Murray had won.

The City Inn Westminster is a modern, stylish hotel, by the river and next to Tate Britain. The hotel has a cool spiral staircase which leads to the bar - and there's a great restaurant - the City Cafe where you can dine alfresco on the terrace. Every room has an iMac entertainment system! This hotel also has a great rating from our customers who have stayed there with 4.18 out of 5.

HotelConnect (my employers) also still have some brilliant free stuff they're giving away with hotel stays - there's free bike hire in barcelona , free wine and fruit in prague and loads of free room upgrades - in venice , paris and nice to name a few.
There are some fab deals to be had - you've got to be quick to grab them!
