Secured a low rate for a Sunday of £116
Preupgraded 24 hrs before arrival to 1407
Hotel was very quiet
Exec Lounge was barely occupied (max maybe 10 tables) good to see regulars
Hot food was a tasty cheese tomato pasta or I think pork shoulder with mash
Very good cold items - obviously better than the usual Friday/Saturday options
Usual selection of drinks but no gin station
Nice touches preferred table reserved - Guest Relations Manager came in for a chat and offered hot food if we wanted - as both full we were given a delicious lemon tart and berries
Usual welcome gifts - Cava, bath oils ,cake and tray of biscuits
Slept very well and sauntered downstairs for breakfast at 8.30am
Very very very quiet (about 5 tables)
Service and selection was excellent - remembered our preferred drink choices and egg dishes - all bought to the table my chefs
Better selection of pastries and an excellent English Brie
Choice of smoothies though passed on the kale and apple one lol
Staff apparently will be still employed by hotel after the area changes though was informed breakfast will temporarily be in the lounge and at busy periods the conference rooms - my gist from other conversations that other changes (and lounge ) will be hapoening this year
A really memorable stay now at 130 + stays and hope changes this year don’t deter me from returning
Off to Wembley next Sunday already upgraded to Exec Suite and then Hilton Beirut Dow town - with an a amazing upgrade secured there for the end of the month
