As an antidote to fluctuating exchange rates and to encourage tentative travellers, the five-star deluxe Landmark London, in conjunction with The Leading Hotels of the World, has introduced a �Cross Country with Leading � Rate Guarantee�.

Valid until 30 April 2010, the offer allows guests to lock in the exchange rate immediately at the time of booking, thereby offering a sense of reassurance to travellers planning ahead.

The fixed exchange rate, which will be paid by guests in local currency upon checkout, includes breakfast and is linked to the Best Available Rate (BAR) of the day. The programme offers true flexibility and value for guests, as cancellation penalties have been waived and prepayment is not required. To offer further security, if on the departure date the exchange rate works against the guest, the hotel will adjust the rate slightly, to reflect the change and benefit the client.

Claudia Roth, Vice President, EMEA, The Leading Hotels of the World said: �We are always looking at how we can go the extra mile to deliver service, great rates and value to our clients through our unique collection of hotels. We believe that Cross Country with Leading will do just that. The programme will assist clients with budgeting on their long-term bookings. As soon as the reservation is made, they will know exactly what they will be paying, even if they have reserved months ahead of their travel dates.�

The magnificent Grade II listed Landmark London is one of the finest Grande Dames amongst London�s foremost hotels. The Landmark boasts a fascinating history dating from 1899 and was built as the last of the great railway hotels during the golden age of steam.

The Landmark London�s 300 elegant guest rooms are some of the largest in the Capital. Boasting sophisticated and luxurious d�cor, many of the bedrooms overlook the beautiful atrium, providing stunning views at all levels.
