Henry's Townhouse, Marylebone, London, UK - Explore & Book
"Just moments from Hyde Park and Oxford Street is this handsome London townhouse, its Georgian facade belonging in a Richard Curtis movie set. We enter through the shiny Downing Street-like door, and within minutes find ourselves laughing and joking with the staff as if old friends. Because when you visit Henry’s Townhouse, that’s exactly what you are: an old chum who has come to rest weary legs after a long day of sightseeing. And what a house to rest in! Designed by husband-and-wife owners Steven and Jane alongside acclaimed interior designer Russell Sage, the decor oozes Regency elegance. Inspired by members of Jane and Henry Austen’s family, each of the 6 rooms is filled with antique furniture, artwork and decadent fabrics, all carefully selected to fit the unique character of this historic address.The magic of the house is in the details. Staff are on hand for any request, big or small. Fancy afternoon tea? No problem. Want to organise a family get-together complete with entertainment? Lean back and enjoy the show! And small gestures like complimentary drinks at ‘Henry’s Hour’ and customisable three-course breakfasts make your stay truly unique. Come with a loved one and revel in the olde English charm, or bring your friends and book out the whole place for one jolly good party. Highs Nestled in the middle of London, close to Paddington, Hyde Park and Marble Arch, this is the perfect base for urban explorersWe really can’t emphasise the attentiveness of the staff enoughThe whole house exudes character; you'll really feel like you've stepped back in time to Georgian London (but with modern conveniences like TVs and A/C)The ‘Snug’, decorated like an old fashioned railway carriage, the two parlours and the roof terrace are perfect for relaxing and entertainingLook out for the first edition Jane Austen novels Lows There is not much in terms of amenities - and anything extra comes with a price tag on top of the already high room pricesBreakfast is served on a large communal table, so you eat with the other guests - if the hotel was full, we can imagine it could become busy quite quicklyThe rooms can be on the small side, with some not getting much natural light - this is typical of London townhouses" - Marta Funk
