Fodor's Review:

This grand hotel overlooking Green Park offers plenty for the money. Rooms are both comfortable and lavishly decorated, with deeply comfortable Hypnos beds, plasma-screen television systems, luxurious fabrics, and original contemporary artworks. If you need more space, you can choose one of its apartments instead. (These occupy a row of Georgian town houses next to the main hotel buildings, and each has separate living, dining, and sleeping spaces; and tiny, fully equipped kitchenettes.) The spa downstairs is available only to guests, ensuring you can always get an appointment. The elegant restaurant serves butter-rich European cuisine, and a full afternoon tea here (£24) is an elegant experience. Breakfasts are luxurious and varied, with endless Continental and cooked options. Pros: peaceful park views; handy for Buckingham Palace and Piccadilly; great value for elegant setting. Cons: some rooms could use a decor update; bathrooms are almost all small.
