    Roasted & Grilled Aubergine

    Cannot say enough good things about our stay at the Connaught hotel last month! The room was not large (to be expected) but was very well appointed and even had a dyson blow dryer! Our room was lovely but it was the service throughout our stay that I felt most impressed by. There was literally not one person that we interacted with that was not a delight. Onto the food. The breakfast each morning at Jean-Georges was included in our stay and was dynamite. Not sure what they feed their chickens in the UK but I have never had a more vibrant orange scrambled egg. While the eggs were delicious, the standout to me was the yogurt with granola and berries. Simple, but just trust me and order it. Our last day we ate lunch at the Connaught Grill and it was probably my favorite meal from our entire trip. At our servers suggestion, we started with the beetroot carpaccio. It was light and divine and I could have eaten 3 plates. For our mains, my husband got the Japanese black beef sirloin and I got the vegetarian eggplant dish. Was a little hesitant to go vegetarian at a steak restaurant but my god this dish was amazing. Had a bite of the steak and was very impressed with that as well! Lots of great places to eat in London but I would put this at the top of my list if we were going back.

    We went to a afternoon tea at Connaught. After we previously tried the fabulous afternoon tea at Claridges. A nice bright small well designed room with a big windows facing a busy Mayfair street. We decided go with assam breakfast tea and you can try different type of tea. Various sandwiches, scones and pastries came out. My favorite was turkey and egg sandwich. Pasties was all good. Wish scone is smaller. Carrot cake was bit dry. There was a crown shape cookie to celebrate platinum jubilee which was a sweet touch especially on the way to here while waiting for a taxi, we saw prince william and Kate in the car driving by. Overall I would give 4.5 because of service, it was bit slow appears to be not efficiently organized and when we came in, we had 10 min wait to get to seated not because of the sitting capacity but due to poor coordination. We also had to reminde mutuel times for our drink orders and bring the bills etc.

    Perfect bathtub and wonderful bath salts. #Heaven #thelifeideserve. And the service here is perfect. Perfect.

    This will be my go-to hotel when in London. We were updated to a junior suite and I'm spoiled now. As soon as I entered the hotel, hair messy and sleepy after driving from York, two people jumped to help me with a hug smile on their face. The check in process was quick. The valet service was kind. The room was fantastic and with a lot of ... panache? Personality? Hm. I can't find the word but I loved it. There was even a rose on my nightstand and cake because of my birthday :) The next day the butler breakfast was on time and exactly at the temperature that I requested. I'm in love. Oh! And the bar is a fun place to hang out! No dress code and fantastic ambiance and drinks. At the beginning of my trip I stayed at the Ritz and service was great, too. But I will be coming to The Connaught next time I'm in London.

    I went to visit my friend who was fortunate to be staying at The Connaught in Mayfair and this is certainly luxury at its best. On arriving in a black cab, the doorman immediately opened the door to help me inside. I felt like such a lady! I peeked into the restaurant which is beautiful - very decadent and comfortable. The interior of the hotel is traditionally English and the staff are fantastic. My friend was staying in one of the Superior King rooms which is actually smaller than I envisaged but beautiful. The bed is absolutely huge and there is even a TV practically inside the bathtub. We ordered room service of a glass of wine each and sushi which arrived in record time. If you are lucky enough to be able to stay here - make the most of the wonderful service. Reception will help out with any requests which you may not have time to take care of - booking restaurant reservations for example. The hotel doesn't have a spa but if you request a treatment will send you to Claridges just around the corner. Oh for the life!

    So many choices..

    Yea! It was my first time having afternoon tea, so it's safe to say I was VERY excited. Although I wasn't dressed as nicely as I wanted to be, they made us feel comfortable and they were very very nice. I love the decor, and even the view outside was lovely (it had rained, so view was perfect!). You order tea first (and/or champagne if you want). I had the green tea and my friend ordered the earl grey. It comes in a cute teapot which you can pour refills yourself, or the waiter does it from time to time. He also replaced our teapots if the tea got cold. Then come the courses. We had tea cakes, sandwiches, mini desserts, and finally topped it off with scones and more dessert. You can ask for more sandwiches etc. if you want. But trust me, you will get full, so don't eat too much! The waiter was charming and explained all the teas they offered and the waitress who brought our courses was an expert in all the little delicacies brought out. I felt like I was at a sane Alice tea party. I finally got to try clotted cream, which is just like a dense, thick, super heavy butter. It is so dense, you just have to experience it firsthand. As for the food? I could spend all day talking about the delicate, thinly sliced cucumbers in the cucumber sandwich, or the light green tea cake or saffron topped chocolate bomb. But I'll just leave you with some pictures to see for yourself. Bottom line: The experience is very memorable; the food and desserts are amazing/interesting, and the service is top notch. I would highly recommend coming here for noon tea.

    Highlights- afternoon tea, top notch hotel personel (helped me get a afternoon tea reservation last minute at claridges which is next to impossible), adequate gym with nice equipment and free weights, waterfall pool...very relaxing and not crowded, and Connaught bar had nice drinks, atmosphere but expensive even for hotel bar standards. Drawbacks- none really. Will definitely come back.

The rooms were very comfortable with plentiful amenities like complimentary bottled water, mini fridge, robes and slippers, etc. The bed was so soft and there were a good variety of channels on the television. All staff we interacted with at the hotel were helpful and kind. There was a fire evacuation on one of the days we were there and an announcement came on the loud speaker informing us to leave and staff members guided us to the exit quickly. The buffet breakfast was nice with omelets by request, a variety of hot and cold items (bacon, sausage, eggs, hash browns, baked beans, pancakes/waffles, fresh fruit and vegetables, juices, cereal, yogurt, pastries). There were servers to clear your plates and provide drinks. We had drinks one evening at the bar and Marco was such an entertaining and efficient bartender. He made our evening memorable and put so much attention into making our cocktails and providing us with information about the signature drinks available. Overall I would stay here again! The location was wonderful and we had a very comfortable stay.

We are so fortunate to have spent four nights at The Langham, using it as our base for the trip. This hotel is steeped in history as the first "Grand Hotel" in London and all of Europe, pioneering amenities that were truly groundbreaking for their time. It's also where the tradition of Afternoon Tea was popularized beyond aristocratic circles and introduced to a wider audience. The Langham is also known for their signature scent, almost like a spicy rose, that we are still thinking about to this day. It is the first thing that greets you in the lobby but is not overpowering; you know immediately where you are. The service we received was nothing short of warm and attentive. Our Superior Room was ready upon check-in and very comfortable. We stayed in briefly to recharge from the jet lag and time change before heading down for Afternoon Tea at the Palm Court, which is an experience in itself. A special shout-out to our server, who was extremely generous with scone refills when my wife had to step away briefly after the long journey. Complimentary tea is also served downstairs each morning in a quick grab-and-go fashion, which gave us the daily energy we needed before heading out for a full day of planned activities and sightseeing. Marylebone is ideally situated in the heart of central London, with easy access to hot spots like Mayfair and SoHo. The London Underground is just steps from the hotel, putting most of the city within about 20 minutes' reach. Shopping, dining, and museums are all nearby, and the Hotel Concierge was proactive enough to reach out before our trip to help book activities. One highlight was the swimming pool, located beneath the hotel in what was once an underground bank vault. We didn't make it to the gym, but we did peek inside and it was beautifully appointed. We are fans of The Langham brand and can't wait to return to The Langham London and explore their properties in other cities around the world!

One year later we were back for a mother daughter trip with another mother/daughter. I originally booked the St Ermins again, but then thought it may be fun to switch it up and stay in a new area of London. A friend/travel agent recommended The Marylebone Hotel, which met all of our requirements: - easy to get around in London - fairly priced by London standards - good shopping/restaurant area We arrived a little cranky from our flight in Edinburgh after a 2 hour Uber from the airport. They greeted us warmly and even told me they had an upgrade for me, although ran out of upgraded for my friend which didn't make her happy. To be fair our rooms were right next to each other and I didn't see a difference so don't think mine was really "upgraded" The rooms like most in London were small. We had 2 twin beds pushed together. It was basically like sleeping in one big bed, but we had our own set of covers which made my 13 year old happy. Everything was very clean and nice, but small. The attached gym was great. It seemed to be a popular local gym so was quite crowded, but if there was room in classes hotel guests could join. I did a leg class one day, which I enjoyed...although got a great leg workout just walking miles and miles around London everyday. The surrounding area was so cute - filled with boutiques (some unique to London and other popular back in the states). There were lots of little cafes to grab a treat as well. We spent a lot of time in covenant garden to see shows on this trip, which was quite the walk but great way to get exercise. And when we returned from the craziness of covenant garden it was nice to be in a quiet area. Breakfast was included in our daily rate. The buffet was adequate and I enjoyed eggs and coffee from the menu. We also received a $50 room credit, which we used to raid the mini bar the last day for some airplane snacks. I thought St Ermins was the perfect pick for my family's first trip to London since it was right next to the tube and near so many sites, but this hotel worked out perfectly for a mother daughter eating, shopping and shows adventure.
