If you're travelling to London you'll find a huge range of hotels to choose from, from budget-friendly accommodation to five star luxury hotels. But if you know that you deserve the best of everything you can stay in what has now been crowned the best hotel in Europe – Shangri-La The Shard.  

TripAdvisor has put together its annual Traveller's Choice Awards, analysing the data from the last 12 months to find the most popular venues in categories including hotels, restaurants, beaches, and things to do. Shangri-La The Shard came in as the fourth best hotel in the world and the highest ranking hotel in Europe. The number one spot went to the Rambagh Palace in Jaipur, India, with the next two spots taken up by hotels in The Maldives and Brazil. Added to that, Shangri-La was the only London hotel to make it into the top 25. 

Based on floors 34 to 52 of The Shard, the hotel is an ultra-modern destination that offers impressive views of the capital thanks to its floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as the highest hotel pool in all of western Europe. Each of the rooms and suites has its own unique design and luxury amenities to make your stay completely comfortable. The hotel also boasts a number of other facilities including restaurants, a gym, and in-room spa services. If the Traveller's Choice Awards are anything to go by, guests certainly appreciate all that the hotel has to offer.
