Lanesborough still

Just checked in for 8 nights yesterday. I booked an Executive Room as I thought it was the best value, at check in they told me the next category Deluxe Suite was not available. Was offered a paid upgrade (first time at a FS) to a Heritage Suite for 450 GBP per night. While the price is not bad I denined as I think I wouldn´t get the full value of it as we are not that much in our room. Also was not really blown away by the suite, but I nevertheless start to regret it as I´m simply not the room type
The hardware is overall very nice (my room and also the Heritage suite I saw are quite dark), especially the SPA and the public areas. Breakfast is not too great, one time they cleaned our table before we were ready. So far location was in our favor as we did tower region and Greenwich.

The building is really spectacular, no question. But I know there are others and prices are quite good.

The one-bedroom deluxe suite has a good lay-out and excellent value. There is only one in this category and it’s my favorite choice as specialty suites are bland and dark at the same time.

This was my problem and 4000 € more isn't such a bagain, even if I sometimes think it's only a small amount when I see my bills

Hi all, plan a trip next January and wonder which hotels are good to stay with a child, in standard room, not suite. Thanks!

I finished up a four night stay at the Connaught last month and it was outstanding. I don’t go to London much but at this point, I’ve done the Lanesborough, Edition and Rosewood and the Connaught is easily #1.

We checked in two hours early (1p) and our room wasn’t ready - they comped us a lunch at JG even though they didn’t have to. Service was was top notch the entire stay, continuously being greeted by last name by doormen, Butler and the front of the house - in addition to that they really go out of their way to prioritize in house guest, especially at the Connaught Bar (adding seats when it was packed for us).

The concierge was the best I’ve dealt with, they booked Scott’s and Four Seasons for us and made a host of other very good recommendations. They also were really helpful in coordinating plane side pick up for inbound relatives that were staying with us.

Rooms were clean and modern (contemporary wing) although you could see the wear & tear despite the recent renovation and breakfast was very generous.

Mayfair is way more pleasant than Knightsbridge - the Lanesborough used to be my go to for vacations but the Connaught has easily trumped it in every aspect and I won’t be looking back.
