I recently stayed in a major chain hotel in London that I regularly used pre-pandemic for outcalls, as it was so busy anyone could come and go anonymously. Now it is as quiet as a morgue, two receptionists supervising a totally deserted reception. They even locked the front door at 11pm. They required contact details for anyone entering the hotel. I was the only one in the breakfast room, whereas pre-pandemic you could struggle to get a table. The receptionist remembered my name when I approached to check out. Certainly no longer anonymous, and I wouldn't have felt at all comfortable booking an outcall to my room. Conversely I stayed in a hotel in Birmingham that was exceptionally busy. Outside the capital, there seem to be large numbers of homegrown tourists filling the hotels. Whereas in London, the numbers are nowhere remotely near making up for the lack of foreign travellers and tour groups. There are some bargain hotel rates available in London, because the hotels are so quiet, but because they are so quiet nowhere near as discrete as usual.
