My wife and I stayed for two nights for our anniversary in July. We were welcomed by Elizabeth, an absolute credit to the hotel. When I booked the hotel. I was unable to state it was for our anniversary, however when I mentioned it at check in, we were presented with a free drinks voucher along with the doubletree cookie (Delicious!!)! We were checked in within a few minutes during which Elizabeth made us both feel extremely welcome and it was quite obvious that nothing was too much trouble.
We arrived in our room, which was very clean and spacious with an iMac TV. No sooner had we put our clothes away when we had a knock at the door. The hotel had sent us both a card and a glass of champagne to celebrate... this was a great start to our weekend!
The bars have very attentive staff and they have great cocktails... personal favourites were "The Cookie" Cocktail and the Singapore Sling.
As for location, it is a short walk to all the shops and bars and right on the doorstep of Piccadilly train station.
We ate in the City Restaurant for breakfast. The food was great and again very attentive staff. If you wanted something other than the buffet breakfast, it was no trouble... omelettes, fried eggs etc. you just had to ask.
Check out was as quick as check in and that included signing up to HHonors.
All in all, I would highly recommend this hotel and even more so if you are celebrating a special occasion.
