I've been collecting information for my professional training report... and 1 of the things i aim to do is to get as much information about competing hotels as possible... so these past few days I've gone to other hotels, namely
- The Landmark, Marylebone
- Softitel, St. James London
- Langham Hilton
All 3 are wonderful hotels... especially
The Landmark, it reminds me of the Fullerton with the skyline courtyard... Fantastic service the moment you step in... then you walk up this grand staircase to a bright giant atrium with a beautifulskyline, which on a sunny day juz makes the whole courtyard fantastically bright. except that the name of the restaurant at the courtyard/atrium is Winter Garden... which to me is quite a cold name... Owner of this hotel is a Thai.
Langham Hilton, which as of today is no longer a Hilton... is a very different hotel... Grand entrance... tucked away in a quiet corner juz off Oxford Street. I visited one room in that hotel, which is of a so so size... but nice marble bathroom anf free complimentary biscuits. The thing that sets it apart from the rest of the hotel? The swimming pool... which is more of a lap pool.. but Wow... nice.
Sofitel St. James... is modern with a captial M. Entrance is not big... but when you walk in... It's like Wow... this is WAY so different from the rest of the hotels... Double Height Ceilings... empty space, which doesn't feel empty, Very modern looking Reception table... Rooms with a black and white theme, but doesn't feel cold at all...
My favourite? A tie between the traditional and the modern... I really like the Landmark for the atrium... but I also like Sofitel for its sleek modern look...
