I recently stayed at the Stafford in London and had a delightful stay.

From check-in to breakfast to drinks in the American Bar to the room, everything was perfect. A wonderful touch was personalized stationery with my name and the hotel's address on it (in two sizes).

In my review, I positioned the Stafford as a contrast to the large and somewhat faceless luxury hotels in London and I really believe this to be the case. As a result, I felt more like a guest in a private (and well-staffed) home than in a hotel.
