Really good Service and Luxurious Amenities

The staff were pretty good. Ricardo Silva decorated our room beautifully and arranged a cake. I found the luxurious bathroom and silent room really great. The in-room breakfast was good, and the spa facilities were very nice. I appreciate the personalised service there.
I had some luggages when checking out but no one offered help. I had to take it to the door myself. I find this a real inconvenience.

The hotel gym featured enough equipment. The pool looked clean. The location near Bond Street suited my needs. I also liked the superb in-room dining.
My room had a tiny window. The room therefore felt dark. I also had a lot of luggage upon check-out. No one offered help with the luggage.
