THE snazzy in London’s ritzy Mayfair has it all, from location, location, location to fabulous food, views to die for, comfy beds for a great night’s sleep and lovely staff. It occupies a corner of Jermyn Street within near touching distance of Fortnum & Mason, the upmarket department store. The four-star hotel is in the heart of London, with so much to do and see on your doorstep.
You’ve got Buckingham Palace and West End theatre shows nearby, royal parks such as Green Park and Hyde Park as well as the buzzing Piccadilly Circus. Shopaholics will love the world-famous names that can be found on Regent Street and Oxford Street as well as the hotel’s own Jermyn Street. The Royal Academy at Burlington House offers free ongoing exhibitions throughout the year and regular gallery exhibitions from leading artists.
One of my favourite spots is Shepherd Market, an 18th Century square with pubs, restaurants and stores selling clothing, food, jewellery and gifts. I’d recommend a visit to the Ye Grapes and The Chesterfield Arms for a drink or two. Back to the hotel, I stayed in an executive room at the Cavendish Hotel on the 11th floor which offered a sweeping view of the city.
I could see the London Eye, the Shard and BT Tower. My room was huge with an enormous and cosy bed. You get a big flat screen TV with Sky Movies and Sky Sports, high Speed Wi-Fi and a Nespresso coffee machine.
The luxurious bathroom has a large bathtub and a shower combination with amenities supplied by.
