| DINING |
| Locanda Locatelli - A chic, ultra-contemporary restaurant with camel-colored banquettes, teak paneling, and Michelin-star Italian cuisine. Open for lunch and dinner, Monday through Saturday. Terrace on Portman Square - Plush, tied-back curtains frame views of Portman Square from this dramatic restaurant just off the lobby. Huge brass chandeliers hang above tables dressed with tiny topiaries and scarlet-upholstered dining chairs. Modern international cuisine is served for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Churchill Bar & Cigar Divan - This intimate English bar feels like the inside of a handsome cigar box, encased in warm, polished woods and furnished with cushy armchairs and sofas. Bar snacks and a wide selection of Cuban cigars and malt whiskies are available. Books by Winston Churchill, a former patron, are on display in glass cabinets. |
| SERVICES |
| What to expect: Vacationers rub shoulders with suited executives in the T-shaped marble lobby of this distinctive hotel, where Winston Churchill used to stop for drinks in the mahogany-paneled bar. The interior blends elements of classic decor—chandeliers, polished marble columns and floors, oil paintings, and plasterwork ceiling—with contemporary comforts. Amenity highlights: This hotel's fitness center, with sauna and showers, is open around the clock, and guests have use of a private lighted tennis court. For a night on the town, guests may book reservations for West End shows at the lobby Theater Desk. Insider tip: Fans of classical music should plan an evening at Wigmore Hall, one of London's most famous music venues. The century-old concert hall is just 4 blocks east of the hotel and features a year-round program of chamber music. |
