Mandarin Oriental reviews
The marble foyer is simply stunning! I had family stay here for 6 months while their flat was getting redone and they were treated like kings. Some of the staff are a bit cold - not rude, just cold; however, on the whole, this is a great hotel. The mid-range restaurant inside, called 'The Park,' is great value, while the bar draws huge crowds.
by swim73088 (12 reviews), 01 Feb 2008I've stayed here twice and visited the restaurant, bar and spa on separate occasions.
It's a great place to stay with the same high standards of service that you'd find in other Mandarin Oriental hotels around the world. Much of the hotel is slightly more traditional than their other hotels due to the age of the building, but I think this adds to the charm.
The spa treatments are great, as is the bar and Foliage. Food in the rest of the hotel is pretty good too.
Of course the best thing about this hotel is the location with Hyde Park behind and Harvey Nicks and the rest of Knightsbridge literally opposite. I think there are more interesting hotels in London, but if I were visiting from abroad and wanted to be close to the shops and museums, this would be my first choice.
Have we missed a great hotel in London? Let us know.
