VIDEO: Previewing London's Reopened Corinthia Hotel

The storied Corinthia Hotel in Central London has a rich history — Winston Churchill requisitioned the building twice (during both World Wars) to use it for the defense department. It remained a Ministry of Defense building until just 10 years ago and recently underwent a £310 million renovation to reopen just in time for the Olympics! The hotel features luxe amenities, two gourmet restaurants, and a gorgeous ESPA-designed spa. Check out our behind-the-scenes peek at this stunning London icon.
