DITTO! Of course the restaurant is wonderful and the pub grub in the American bar is excellent too, as are the teas. They have had a recent change of management (Terry Holmes has retired and Stuart Proctor has moved up to be chief, seamelss of course. They have purchased the building across the yard from the Carriage House and will add more suites and a gym.
I cannot imagine spending a night in London in any other place! It is my home away from home, unless I am cruising on Seabourn, of course.
