Review of the spa! Absolutely divine. My partner and I went for a couples spa afternoon. We had almost exclusive use of the facilities including a hot tub, steam room and sauna, naturally accompanied with a glass of Prosecco. This was followed up by a massage and salt scrub that left us both feeling super relaxed. The ladies really took care of us and I was very impressed with the service we received. There are lots of different packages available, some including afternoon tea and dinner if you wish. Price wise, its actually really good considering its Central London location.

Absolutely amazing 5 course taster menus with wine pairings. We came here for my husbands 60th birthday and we were not disappointed. I had the vegan menu which I could have gluten free, my husband had the meat each of our wine pairings were different and explained to us by a very knowledgeable sommelier. The surroundings were stunning, the hotel kept to social distancing guidelines and the staff wore masks. The staff were very professional but also friendly. It was also a great surprise for my husband to have a 6th course of a mini ice cream cake and sparklers. We enjoyed teh evening so much we

One of the best hotels we've stayed in without a doubt, faultless on every level honestly! The staff are so lovely and welcoming, and down to earth. The private residences are just beautiful and so perfect for a private yet serviced stay, the stylish dcor, the comfy bed, the massive living room and useful kitchen, were all amazing, and we just had the best long weekend here. Oh and breakfast in the room was outstanding!

Incredible experience! My girlfriend and I had a Afternoon Tea experience which is a completely new world to us "casuals" being used to Premier Inn's. The gentleman outside in the top hat was a charm, the hotel on the outside is beautifully ordained in living plants, which in London stands out! Inside its sleek and fresh, you get the aroma of perfumes and tea. The tea experience itself was stunning, beautiful cutlery and table sets, the selection of teas, coffees and bubbly was endless but all so very nice! And the fresh scones are to die for. And a special personal note, all the staff including

Wonderful spa, had a great day here. Staff are friendly and attentive, therapists absolutely wonderful. Came out of here feeling like a million dollars, to go for an afternoon tea in the restaurant, which was equally as great! Would highly recommend.
