Staying at this hotel was like being pampered with a free mini bar in the room filled with wine, beer, and spirits, along with a variety of snacks allowing access to a delightful Executive Lounge. While the VIP lounge offered complimentary alcoholic, soft, and hot drinks, the space felt cramped for the number of guests. The location, facing the Strand and just by Trafalgar Square, couldn't be better, ideal for exploring London's heart, with exceptional dining but lacking in the quality of some dishes.
