Favorite destinations such as the Imperial College, Royal College of Art, Victoria & Albert Museum, and Hyde Park are all within a mile.

It also makes room service available as well as daily breakfasts. There is a full business service center, in-room spa options, concierge and 24-hour front desk, a mobile “virtual” host, dry cleaning and laundry, a fitness center, ticketing services, and more.

There are 200 standard rooms, 11 business-class rooms, 13 family rooms and one luxurious suite available. All of the rooms are decorated in an opulent style and feature marble baths, premium linens, and signature toiletries. They also have mini-fridges, climate controls, hot beverage systems, free Wi-Fi, and sitting areas.
