Really good Service and Stylish Stay
warm welcome rooftop atmosphere
The staff, especially Ewan, offered a warm welcome and showed me to my Town Room. The rooftop bar, Lamplighters, had a great atmosphere. I enjoyed a Cosmopolitan made perfectly. I appreciated the room turn-down service with soft jazz, slippers, and sleepy spray.

Acceptable stay overall
equipped gym silk pillowcases missing doormen single sink
The gym is well equipped. The restaurant is stunningly beautiful. I found the silk pillowcases a nice touch. They were appreciated.
I did find no doormen upon arrival. My husband had to carry our two large suitcases to reception. There was only a single sink despite being such a large room.

Really good Stay at an Elegant Townhouse
excellent breakfast very nice recommendations
I appreciated the staff's dedication to making my sister's birthday nice. The breakfast was excellent, and the staff was great too. Irina at the main reception provided many very nice recommendations for my stay. Housekeeping was excellent. The turndown service was very well done and reminded me of returning to a calm oasis each evening.
I encountered an issue with the dinner reservation I had arranged upon check-in. I had to fight to reinstate my original time after receiving a text altering it. The restaurant seemed very busy, but that should not impact confirmed bookings.
Rooms

The room had beautiful marble bathrooms. The rooms themselves were great little rooms. I found the rooms quiet and clean, important for a restful stay. A waste paper bin would be a useful addition.
