The AA has been inspecting hotels for more than 100 years, and this is the 52nd edition of Britain's bestselling hotel guide with more than 2,600 hotels. Celebrating more than 50 years as Britain's most complete guide to where to stay, the AA Hotel Guide continues to showcase hotels from across the UK and Ireland with more than 2,600 hotels, including more than 700 budget hotels. From the most opulent and sophisticated of London's elite hotels to personally run small hotels in the British countryside, and from the practical and convenient budget hotel aimed at business or air travelers to the luxurious country house hotel catering for leisure and sporting guests, the AA Hotel Guide is your best resource to find places to stay. All year round the AA's expert inspectors are visiting and grading the hotels that appear in this guide. Each one is judged on presentation, quality of accommodation, leisure and sporting facilities, food operation, service, hospitality, conference facilities, and cleanliness.
