Not stayed at that one but I’ve stayed in the area at the JW and the Marriott Park Lane. It’s in a solid spot. Fairly close to the tube and places to eat, shop, drink. Not that close to major sites though as long as you’re okay with a tube ride and walking

I have stayed at the nearby Marriott Park lane, was fairly good!

It’s a great hotel, has some elements of old English style. It’s close to the tube station as well.

Recommend Marriott Threadneedles. Very close to tube, or walking distance to some cool restaurants and bars.

like

It’s walking distance to shoreditch with great vibe bars and eating places like Dinerama, Barrio, Dirty Dicks, Dishoom. Come early it gets packed!

It is ok. Lounge is big. Prefer rooms at Park Lane which is directly next to a Tube stop and Hyde Park. Grosvenors square marriott is closer to Soho though with cool restaurants

Im from london and go back quite often. London Edition is my fave. Best for access to entertainment, transport and most major sites.
