Unreal

I hit this while searching for something else - it's a hotel that's recommending itself as the place to stay if you're coming to London in order to go to Pizza Hut. WTF?
"The Georgian House Hotel is the perfect place to stay if you wish to go to dinner at a London Pizza Hut."

I'm guessing they've probably got some kind of advertising deal.

Linked to from here:

They've got quite a list of things they're the best place to stay at for.

It's called spamming the search engines. For every hotel, for every vaguely nearby restaurant/shop/pub/bus-shelter/cattery, generate a page of HTML. Search engines like links and keywords.

Perhaps it's an seo technique. Just stick in some text about something someone might actually want to search for and tag your content in along with it.

Though it does look more like an ad for pizza hut than the hotel.

Maybe it is another attempted scam like the Coke Zero campaign? :p

not to mention the impression that give you regarding their own cooking ...
