"Best for: large families Closest tube station: Baker Street A pillared-and-palm-treed bastion of splendid Victoriana, the Landmark is one of those hotels where you feel inclined to swan between salon and suite, passing comment on the art. The afternoon tea here is an institution—a genteel feast of eccentric jams, clotted cream, and cake served in a grand, glass-roofed courtyard (children love the chocolate afternoon tea). Vast family rooms deliver on London grandeur and sleep two adults and two children, with plenty of space for extra beds to be added at $77 each. Colorful indoor tents, headlamps, and teddies are added when booking a family package and, as an extra, children can embark on an accompanied hotel treasure hunt, or around the labyrinthine streets of Marylebone. Babies and toddlers are well accounted for with the full kit list, from bottle warmers to socket safety plugs." - Rosalyn Wikeley
