Hotel 41

Instead of 5 stars, this hotel should be 41 stars. Here's a list of all the things I love about this hotel: *Location is great - although in a tourist area across the street from Buckingham Palace, it's still quiet and reserved. Easy walk to the tube or the central sights. *The Executive Lounge that serves as the three-meal-a-day restaurant, bar, and public space is super cozy, incredibly well-attended, and stocked with everything you could need. *The rooms are super spacious and cozy - the beds are difficult to get out of (in the best way) and THE BEST water pressure. Seriously, a simple shower is transformative. *Housekeeping services are flawless. Little gifts throughout the stay only heighten your excitement to return to your room. *Saving the best for last, but the staff. Everyone knows who you are, your preferences, your stay details, etc. You never have to repeat mundane details like your name or your room number because they already know. Intuitive, thoughtful service at its best.

Such a beautiful romantic hotel. We stayed for our 25th wedding anniversary and had a fabulous time. The staff were so kind and attentive and helped make our stay extra special. We stayed in the Balmoral suite which was huge and gorgeous. Extras like a special cake and 'Happy Anniversary' pillow were such lovely touches. The lounge is like stepping back in time to a beautiful old library and the champagne welcome drink and food and snacks provided all day and night was amazing. Nothing to fault, absolutely perfect. Thank you to all the hotel staff.

Where to start! This trip was an overdue 20th anniversary for us, visit the city, museums and what a delightful time we had a Hotel 41. There is no way to overstate the commitment and the 'above and beyond' care from the staff we received while guests. The vibe is of an elegant private estate where staff call you by name -- they cultivate a familiar dynamic, something of a testament to their outstanding people skills. This is not a large show off kind of place, this hotel is a quiet "in the know" place, one of the reasons we will be back. The clientele seem to be the kind of visitors who know the difference. My advice, reserve and be amazed. Shout outs to the staff, who were without fail exceptional.

As soon as you arrive you are warmly welcomed. The included welcome drink for me non alcoholic champagne but normal champagne eagerly offered. Check in is easy and relaxed. Nibbles arrive. Although I was early my room would have been ready early but I had a lunch appointment. They know I like a fire in my room and although single rooms do not have them i was upgraded to a lovely two level suite. What sets it apart and keeps it my favourite hotel in London is the impeccable service. The free treats remain that special touch. The canapés and croquet monsieur are a highlight. The raid the pantry food when back from the theatre was also excellent. The turn down service was lovely with mats and slippers laid out, a sleeping spray, a message written on my mirror hoping id enjoyed the ballet and the indulgence of a hot water bottle in bed. The bedding is lovely and I slept well. The breakfast has a good range and variety of food of excellent quality. I love hotel 41. It always feels like a familiar welcoming indulgent place to stay in London and I feel at home but spoilt.

An oasis in central London with impeccable service. My wife and I have stayed in many London hotels, Hotel 41 is the best we have experienced and my wife may not go back to London unless we can stay there!
