First built as a stately townhouse, the Marriott Grosvenor Square Hotel has evolved into an exclusive property that infuses contemporary chic with classic luxury and exceptional personal service. The gleaming art deco lobby and other public areas hum with activity, but it’s easy to relax on the attractive sofas set in little alcoves and backed by large mirrors. Enhanced in many cases by lovely garden views, the 236 spacious guestrooms are decorated in plush, neutral colour schemes that create a soothing atmosphere. The rooms also feature comfortable armchairs, writing desks, cotton rich linens and designer duvets. Though slightly small, the en suite marble bathrooms are impeccably clean. The hotel’s “Cobalt” Restaurant is exquisitely designed with a Versace influence by Alexandra Champalimaud and serves contemporary British fare. Alternatively guests can enjoy Gordon Ramsay's Michelin-starred “Maze” Restaurant, with its tantalising fusion of French and Asian cuisine.
