DAVID Levin, owner of London luxury hotels The Capital and The Levin, is this week making his annual pilgrimage down under, with a series of events to promote the properties and the exceptional value they’re offering with the high A$.
Levin told TD last night that the Capital Hotel now incorporates ten apartments in the adjacent building, with two studios starting at an amazing £550 per week.
“This is the moment to be travelling to Europe,” Levin said, with key drivers this year including the Queen’s Jubilee and of course the London Olympics.
He said Australian dollar rates at the hotels are the lowest they have been in 12 years – and guests at The Capital and The Levin are also able to easily claim back the 20% VAT charged by the UK government on their stay, with the properties facilitating the reclaim at no cost via a simple form on check-in.
