All the good previous reviews are pretty spot on.
Room was not as big as i was expecting after reading other reviews (we had a standard double) but it was large compared to other london hotel rooms we have stayed at. Had view of the atrim.
Good location as it is next to marylebone station.
Valet parking at hotel which is a nice touch (?40 per 24 hours)
Leisure centre including pool (we didnt visit it) Its ?10 for hotel guests to visit (?30 for non residents) which i thought was unfair especially as we were not told this when booking through BA.com (although it does tell you on hotel web site)
Service & staff very good & helpful.
Continental breakfast included which was very nice.
Hotel very grand throughout.
I would recommend & would stay again.

Just came back from weekend away staying 5* at this hotel,all i can say is "wow".
Having booked through internet the price did not include breakfast as some reviews stated.
As being a normal working man this was a surprise for my wife's 50 th, so this was meant to be special.
When the taxi pulled up outside it hotel is fantastic and inside is even more breathtaking.The room was great not too big but not to small ,but the only downside is you pay for everything and well over the top. "i know you are 5 * and you expect to pay top dollar for everything but if this wasn't special time i would have needed a bank loan !! Ok if you own your own company or have a few quid in the bank but if your on a budget this is not the hotel for you. Drinks were ?5+ for a bottle of lager ie peroni ,vodka and coke ?13 . Breakfast is ?25 and if wanting to eat in your room extra 3.50 room service each.
So thats my gripe out the way so on to the hotel.Would definately stop here again the hotel is fab ,staff are really friendly,
If looking for top hotel look no futher than this.

This is the second time my wife and I have stayed at this hotel - both times in a deluxe room with breakfast included. The check-in process is very quick, and the staff on the main desk are very friendly - they will even let you into the room early if it is availalbe (which it has been for us). The deluxe room is fantastic - very large, with large bes, comfortable chairs, a large bathroom with bath and a separate large shower. Although tea and coffee making is not supplied as standard, it can be 'hired' for ?10 a day - which is cheap compared to the room service costs of beverages.
The food at breakfast has always been enjoyable and is served in the winter garden but I'm not sure it is worth paying ?28 each for - as mentioned, its always been part of a package for us.
We have always eaten out in the evening as the prices do appear to be a little high - the tube is right outside the hotel and you can access lots of good restaurants very quickly by using it.
The check-in is very quick, and the staff have always been friendly, helpful and courteous - they will even let you have the room early if it is available (which it has been for us)

I chose this hotel after a fair bit of searching on trip advisor and was very pleased with my choice. I particularly wanted a hotel room in London which had some space and didn't feel cramped. The staff were perfect and so was the room. We stayed in an executive suite, very pleasant, nice interior, huge marble bathroom that we loved! We didn't eat there but saw the prices which were expensive.

This place is just great. The building is terrfiic to start with, but the conversion of the courtyard into a winter garden / atrium takes it to the next level. The decor is good too, understated and in general (see comment below) very much in keeping with the architecure of the building. I've stayed here about three times over a five year period and every time it's looked like new. That's quite a feat witha place this large and this busy. The other positive aspect is that the rooms are huge. I believe I've always stayed in standard rooms, but even on the sixth floor under the roof you have bagsof space and a nice layout. This is what makes it luxurious. I'm always a bit disappointed by so called five star hotels where you end up in a beautifully - decorated cupboard. Being cramped really takes the edge off it, but not at all an issue here.
The one gripe is the carpets. Above floor level the colour scheme is harmonious, low key and really compliments the architectural features. Look down and you are hit with a blast of bright yellow, highlighted with blue geometric higlights.
That said if the biggest issue is the colour of the carpet, you can't really complain.
My booking was prepaid so I don't know how much the room cost. The tarif card says a standard is ? 430. That's a lot of money, but nowadays for this level of space and quality in Central London, it almost seems like a deal....
