LONDON on HH Points - Trafalgar St James, Conrad or Park Lane?

[dsotm]

I have enough points for a 2 x 5-night HH redemption for a 10-night stay. Last year we stayed at The Trafalgar St James for five nights which is right on Trafalgar Square. The hotel was exceptional and the service great. Next year I'm just wondering if we should split the time between two hotels; say the Conrad and Park Lane. It has to be very central so the other good eastside Hiltons are not in the mix.

Is it worth the hassle to move hotels? It adds variety to the trip but it takes time to pull up stumps and relocate. And it is better to stay in a hotel you've stayed at previously that you know is good, or to mix it up and try something new, as life is short?

Any status with HH? Conrad is good but not exceptional. But if you have lounge access worth a go

I have Gold and did stay there in 2017, but no upgrade. "We're fully booked, sir."

It's been a while since I stayed at Conrad St James but rooms were nice when I was there a few years ago.

They don't do upgrades well even if Diamond

The Trafalgar upgraded me as Gold last year and full buffet breakfast. They don't have a lounge though.

I stayed at Conrad last year and loved the rooms and location, it's tucked away but central. Maybe stay at a new hotel for the first few nights, then the Trafalgar second (as you know you like it)

I really like Park Lane, but if I didn’t have lounge access my answer might be different.

Yes I'm think if it's not a big move, 2 x 5-night stays at different hotels might be a good change.
