Stats

Originally built as a nearly 600 room grand hotel in 1885, the building of The Corinthia was taken over by the Ministry of Defense for office space and recently reconverted for use as a hotel. The hotel underwent a thorough renovation with a single room now occupying the space originally taken by two rooms.

This is a mid-price luxury hotel worth consideration by more price conscious visitors to London. Lead-in Superior rooms are 344 square feet, Deluxe rooms are 420 square feet, and an Executive room is 485 square feet. As half the rooms in the property are Executives, there is an excellent chance of an upgrade from Deluxe into this category.

Room

Rooms come in different configurations. The Executive I saw was wide from side to side but narrow from the interior wall to the window; I'd definitely request a room with more square dimensions. Decorated in shades of green and tan, rooms have a very attractive subdued contemporary style. Bathrooms have soaking tubs, separate rain showers, dual vanities, and WC.

Trafalgar Suites have a view of the Statue of Admiral Nelson in Trafalgar Square (and come in 1 and 2 BR configurations. River Suites look out towards the river ... But you'll need to request a higher floor to to have a view over the adjoining buildings. There are seven Penthouse Suites, each uniquely decorated.

Tips

The hotel has applied for Virtuoso membership and informally offers amenities - full English breakfast, $100 F&B credit, and upgrade if available. A potentially valuable perk for now is totally flexible check in and check out ... but this could change as the hotel's occupancy rate rises.
