ProntoHotel’s Recommendations for Historic Hotels
The Dorchester, London, England
Positioned right on Hyde Park, you can’t get a
much better location than this London hotel. But
then you add the other elements into it, like the
luxury it offers, the dining, and, of course, its
history. Having welcomed royalty, presidents, and
celebrities for years, it has also played host to
many big events, including being the place
General Eisenhower chose for his headquarters
during the Second World War.

wooden Victorian beach resort in San Diego that
electricity was first put into a hotel, inspected by
Thomas Edison himself. Now the resort is a
California favorite, welcoming families and
sunbathers for a comprehensive and enjoyable
beach vacation.
