Looks like they've pulled quite a few tables from the Club Lounge, which makes sense from a pandemic perspective, but no doubt adds to the difficulty getting one at times.
I've always loved the Churchill and only wish it had a much larger gym. Like so many of the London hotels, the fitness facility is inadequate unless you are in a recently refurbished or opened hotel .... and some of those still are too small.

What do you mean +4 SUA... you are using 4 at the same time to get a better suite? I have never heard of such a thing. Curious how / who worked this deal.

Just came back - hotel mentioned it's "newly renovated gym" on the 2nd floor. I can't remember what the previous one was like, but I thought the amount of machines + equipment was pretty solid.

If you want to do this, my suggestion is breaking your stay into 7 night stays. I have had a property (Andaz London) allow me to do 8 nights in a suite, the last night was them being nice and not something they have to do.

It would be a bit of a D*** move, though, to book 7 nights suite, followed by 1-2 night standard room followed by 7 nights suite + 1-2 night standard + 7 nights suite + 1-2 night standard, etc. etc. for the OP's month+ long stay - hoping that the hotel doesn't make you change rooms twice each week.

Haven’t used yet (arrived jet lagged this morning) but had a look and looks pretty good, well equipped, larger than expected (size of 3 standard room not 1) and brand new (still smells it). Will definitely go later today or tomorrow!

Yes we will see…but for now they have been extremely generous :-)
Just used 3 SUA for the first 4 weeks and finally had to arrive 3 days earlier than initially planned, booked a standard room at the last minute and they were automatically added to the full stay so to a balcony suite. So for now that’s a 31 day suite upgrade with 3 SUA not too bad :-)
Not to mention the 9am early check in, free breakfast in the lounge while waiting for it to be ready, nice welcome gift and message from the manager, positively surprised by the gym and both lounges (very quiet this morning and now despite hotel being 100% full) so a very good start for my first ever 1 month stay (if not 1.5m) in a hotel :-)

Anyone had luck staying here with a family of 4? I've got two young children (6 an 8) and it seems the suite upgrade room has a king bed and you can request a rollaway bed but they only allow a max of 3 people. I'm certain we would be able to fit in the room just fine. Their options for rooms that allow 4 are a significant price per night for an upgrade. Maybe just book it and hope they don't take issue at check-in?

Ah, good to know as I will be there in two weeks. They had done an upgrade a few years ago and while the # of cardio machines were adequate, weights were pretty lacking and the space was very cramped.

Infant
Any data points if the hotel is ok with me booking 2 adults and then putting notes that you have infant? When I put 2 adults and 1 child < 1 I get no availability but when I just put 2 adults there is ton of availability. I don't need a bed for him, a crib would be nice but not required since he can sleep the bed with us. I also have suite upgrade reward I would be applying too.
My backup currently is the Andaz since they have availability when I put 3 guest.
