"A Victorian West End icon opened in 1865 that continuously reinvents itself for modern travelers, this hotel features grand public spaces with chandeliers and marble columns and a well-trained staff attuned to bespoke service. The 380 rooms are residential in scale, often with large wingback chairs and marble soaking tubs; family offerings include themed afternoon teas, while Executive-level guests get access to an expansive Club Lounge with dedicated staff and all-day bites. Evenings can be spent enjoying lively pub-style fare or award-winning cocktails at a celebrated bar, making the property a full-service base for cultural exploration." - Sandra Ramani, Charu Suri, Katherine LaGrave, Jennifer Flowers, Laura Holt, Laura Dannen Redman
