This is interesting. I went back to OA for a short stay recently - having essentially abandoned it for several years in favour of Browns and the Connaught. I didn't know about the Campbell Gray thing, but I would agree that there is not much difference in the basic experience of the hotel, except the service is probably a bit less great. Frankly, part of the problem is that there has been no change in decor etc, at a time when choice has exploded in London. After having been a fan for many years, the last visit kind of confirmed my decision to try other places.
