I enjoyed Grosvenor House. It is across the street from Hyde Park, around the corner from the Oxford St shopping and walking distance to Buckingham Palace. Very close to several Tube stations as well.
Most importantly, the lounge is unbelievable

Yes, amazing lounge. Really enjoyed afternoon tea.

The Steakhouse is pretty good too and they have a nice outdoor patio where you can have lunch if the weather is nice.

I JUST got back from staying at the county hall hotel and it was great! Centrally located and, at least for us, we were using Waterloo station a lot which was right around the corner. I wish I was still there! Lol

The Editon London is great. So are the JW Marriott Grosvenor House and the Park Tower Knightsbridge (a Marriott property I think).

Not a Marriott but I also love The Lanesborough.

Stayed at the JW Marriott earlier this year and we really enjoyed it.

My favorite is still Mandarin Oriental in Hyde Park.

I am a field marketer. I travel and cover 12 states. HQ is across the US on the east coast.

I stood up and asked to be included on available dates and said I will attend virtually but asking me to be away for 4 additional full days away from my family without asking me is not OK. I already travel a lot and this boundary is super important to me. Am I right or wrong?
