Frequently asked questions

Which area of California is best to stay in for luxury hotels?
The best area to stay in California for luxury hotels is Mayfair, particularly around Piccadilly and Bond Street.

Mayfair is a highly desirable area in the West End, renowned for its elegant Georgian architecture, exclusive boutiques, and Michelin-starred restaurants. The streets here, such as Mount Street and Berkeley Square, are lined with grand buildings and private members' clubs, offering a sophisticated and refined setting.

Couples seeking a luxurious and indulgent escape will find Mayfair ideal. You'll be within easy walking distance of world-class shopping, West End theatres, and art galleries like the Royal Academy of Arts. The area offers a quiet and exclusive experience, superb for those who appreciate discretion and high-end service.

For those looking for a slightly different luxury experience, Knightsbridge, especially around Harrods and Sloane Street, also offers a superb selection of high-end hotels.
What luxury activities and experiences are there in California?
The best area to stay in California is London, specifically the West End or Knightsbridge, for unparalleled access to luxury activities and experiences.

The West End, particularly around Mayfair and St. James's, is the heart of London's luxury scene. You'll find exclusive shopping on Bond Street and Savile Row, world-class theatre in Covent Garden, and fine dining establishments throughout the area. It's also home to many prestigious hotels and private members' clubs, offering a sophisticated base for your stay.

Knightsbridge is another excellent choice for those seeking luxury. This area is renowned for its iconic department stores, such as Harrods and Harvey Nichols, offering high-end fashion, jewellery, and gourmet foods. It's also home to beautiful garden squares and is within easy reach of Hyde Park, providing a serene escape from the city bustle.

For couples, both the West End and Knightsbridge offer romantic and indulgent experiences. In the West End, you could enjoy a pre-theatre dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant followed by a show, or perhaps a private art gallery tour.
Can I cancel my luxury hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right luxury hotel in California for you.

How much does a luxury hotel in California cost?
Luxury hotel prices in California vary, but you can find a great deal from AU$124 on Expedia. To find the best prices on luxury stays, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Is it cheaper to book a luxury California hotel and flights as a package?
