For example, the <a href="/wiki/Hotel_Russell" class="mw-redirect" title="Hotel Russell">Hotel Russell</a>, Westbury Hotel and the Waldorf Hotel became Forte Grand. The top tier of London hotels were already part of the Exclusive group which had existed long before the early 90s reorganisation/rebranding. London also had Posthouse and Crest hotels.
