We go to London just to stay at this wonderful hotel. It is simply exceptional. From the moment you arrive you are welcomed and cosseted by the remarkable staff - they are marvellous. Anything you want at any time, they will make happen - as the “anything anytime “ button on your room phone indicates. We were surprised with a room upgrade - an unexpected but wonderful start to our three day stay!
41 is an elegant calm oasis in the hustle and bustle of London. Decor is black and white throughout and all designed for your comfort and ease.
The heart of the hotel is the magical Executive Lounge, where the fabulous team make delicious food and drinks appear at all times of the day and night. Nothing beats a welcome from Steve bringing the champagne trolley over as you check in!
The breakfast is superb - from the gut health ginger shots to the most delicious hash browns to be found on the planet.
And then there are the little gifts and surprises left on your bed when the housekeepers turn down your room each evening.
The most exceptional aspect of the hotel are the staff. They greet you by name even if you’ve not met them before. They remember your preferences, they anticipate your needs. They are kind. Their level of service is phenomenal and genuine.
We can’t wait for our next visit whenever that may be. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Outstanding service from the moment you make a reservation to when you walk in the door staff make you feel welcome and try accommodate your every need.
It's a smallish hotel (40 rooms) and no real signage on the exterior. They keep a receptionist in the lobby to direct you to the upper floors where rooms are and check in occurs. There is an executive suite available for guests to access a light breakfast, quick snacks and water, coffee or tea during the day (tea and small canapes are offered early evening as well), drinks and other food are available as well. Rooms are tastefully decorated in black and whites with all the amenities you would come to expect in any hotel. They are good sized and comfortable. Wake up calls are personally done with a knock on the door and fresh coffee delivered at the same time.
The location is right across from Buckingham Palace, St James park and close to several restaurants and shops. It is also close to the Victoria Tube station and Bus transfer station. Its an easy walk through Saint James Park to Piccadilly, Mayfair, or walking the other way (about 15 minutes walk) you can reach the Churchill Museum and War Rooms, Downing street, Big Ben, Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey

We read a lot of reviews about the 41 before booking a room. A lot of them were pretty nice. We were scared by a few ones which were saying it was a not so perfect experience and kind a waste of money. Being a long time faithful guests of red carnation properties, we trusted our guts and we tried it anyway. Let us just say this: the 41 is incredible and will fullfil all your expectations and beyond.

We chose to stay in London for the weekend as COVID meant we had to cancel our wedding and decided to make it a luxury experience. Hotel 41 is a very warm welcoming hotel in which the staff make the stay very personalised. Nothing was ever too much for any of the staff. My partner loved the evening turn down where they light the fire and add a hot water bottle in the bed ready for when you want to turn in. Breakfast is outstanding and the arrival experience was great. The hotel stuck to all the COVID rules and even catered the complimentary extras to our room as we were unable to stay in the lounge after 10pm. There was hand sanitizer around the hotel and the staff were always cleaning where other had sat and eaten as soon as they left the room. The rooms are cozy, bathrooms are spacious and all the staff are exceptional with a big warm thanks to Andrew,David,Erica and Paula for making our stay so special, we will be back again for another amazing stay!

Has to be the best customer service hotel I have ever stayed at. Hands down the best experience we have ever had. The food was awesome, breakfast snacks and desserts. Whilst the food options are served rather than help yourself at the moment to ensure good social distancing. Bottomless ice cream was available but the rest of the food was so good I did not leave much space. The room we had was a split level junior suite which was very well equipped. The turn down option was well done with fresh flowers and slippers and sweets. Bottled water in the fridge and a Nespresso machine topped up on request. I had about 6 coffees a day . The bathroom was the same size as a double bedroom. Fantastic water pressure from the shower and the bath filled in about 2 minutes. 3 TVs 1 in the bathroom all with separate Sky boxes so you could watch 3 different channels in 3 separate rooms if required. Oh and the champagne on arrival helped to set the scene. The level of detail in the service was outstanding with all staff remembering your names throughout your stay at all points of the hotel. This is the gold standard hotel which every other hotel needs to match which will be exceptionally difficult. Thanks to Gabriel who looked after us during our stay and attended to all our food and beverage needs.

We have been fortunate to stay at Hotel 41 a few times and we wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else in London. It has the comfort of “home” whilst maintaining the luxury feel, from the beautiful scent around the corridors; the polished interior in the lounge and excellent food quality. The main positive is the staff; nothing is too much trouble and you are made to feel welcome. It’s lovely that they know your name and you are never asked for your room number! We have used the valet service, which is great, park outside and they park and deliver your car for you. It was around £55 per 24 hours. The rooms are lovely and are high end comfort, which is what you need when walking around London all day. Our room had remote control blinds, a deep bath/shower, fridge, ironing board and iron, Sky TV (all channels), umbrella, tea/coffee facilities and water was replenished. The turn down service is also special. The hotel has good Covid procedures; with hand sanitisers available, staff wearing masks and the room is very clean. There is lots of choice for breakfast; we tried different things each day. The “pantry” offers snacks and nibbles in the evening and ice cream whenever you want. Location is great; opposite Buckingham Palace Mews, with eating/drinking establishments either side (The Rubens hotel and BBar); The Open top tour bus route is just outside; and Victoria tube station is about a 2 minute walk. We can’t wait to visit again!

We were lucky enough to have chosen Hotel 41 for our wedding anniversary in October. I had stayed in Red Carnation Hotels before in South Africa so was familiar with their exceptional customer service and warm welcome. We were not disappointed. From the moment we arrived it was as if we were their most important guests, though I know everyone had that experience. Our room was stunning and had everything you could possible need including some fresh milk in the fridge which we had requested prior to arrival and a little chocolate anniversary cake. The executive lounge is very cosy and comfortable with a wonderful fire and book lined walls. If you like a small and intimate hotel in a wonderful location then look no further than Hotel 41. We also ate at bbar restaurant (only one open due to Covid) which was fabulous.

Customer service second to none. All the staff we encountered were smiling, friendly and genuinely engaging without being overbearing or intrusive. Check-in was a breeze, not rushed, with a choice of white or pink champagne, nibbles & afternoon cream tea, as we arrived in time for this. White gloved serving staff, complimentary all day grazing table & packaged little snacks to have there or take away on your onward journey, including bottled water & individually wrapped hand napkins, to clean your hands afterwards! They have thought of everything.
More of a private members club, especially as hotel guests are only allowed on this 5th floor hotel, so real personal service.
After experiencing Hotel 41, you won’t want to stay in a big hotel chain again in London.

I don't know the answer but any questions you have, just contact the hotel. They're unfailingly helpful and friendly and not in the least bit 'stuffy' - it's what makes staying there so enjoyable.
I hope you find the information you need.

We do add an optional 12.5% to food and beverage bills at the hotel, which is a custom in the UK.
It is completely up to you whether you decide to tip any of the other members of the team you interact with-they would not expect it, but would be delighted.
