Suite 138

Check-in was quick and the lady at the front desk (who introduced herself as the manager on duty) escorted us to our Park Suite. This was on the second floor, which meant particularly high ceilings. It was suite number 138.

All rooms in the hotel are furnished differently, next to us was also a Park Suite which seemed to be a bit larger. Kutz afterwards I learned that it was occupied by KatW.

Behind the front door was a small hallway.


I had specifically asked for a suite with a guest bathroom. The wish was also fulfilled to me.



Our suite was decorated in shades of red. You can't exactly say that the suite was particularly large, the stated 50 square meters seem accurate to me. Even though it was a bit cramped at the sofa, it was big enough.





The TV was hidden behind a painting.

There were a number of Asian elements in the room, this was especially visible in the lamps, curtains and later in the bathroom.





The bedroom was also not huge, but had a canopy over the bed.



I especially liked the ceiling.


The bathroom I would also describe as of average size, the only drawback was the lack of a second sink. Cosmetics were not in disposable bottles, but large dispensers. Formerly a sign of cheap hotels, today an expression of ecological responsibility.




I had to "fix" the shower head first, as it was calcified and spraying in all directions. Otherwise, the shower was very pleasant.
A Park Suite, of course, also comes with a corresponding view. This one would not be something I would really spend money on. Unfortunately, the windows could not be opened.


Opinions differ on the Lanesborough's rooms. While one room on the Internet looks really "special", I found our suite pretty. We sometimes called the hotel a dollhouse before, but that's only part of the truth. It's certainly classic, but not stale or even worn out.
