I stayed in that hotel last summer. For some reason they think that £1,600 is an acceptable price for 8 nights in a standard room.
For the hotel, I assume it means that you don't actually pay until you stay. That's actually the typical method, but I've been seeing this more from hotels in an attempt to differentiate themselves from hotels offering non-refundable, pay at booking for their cheapest rates.

I recently had to cancel a trip to Munich and Vienna with 2 hotel rooms for a week, only 24 hours before departure, and I was very glad I didn't purchase the non-refundable room rates.
