Set in Chelsea Village in SW London this hotel marks a stay in busy, smokey London, but being set next to the marina and away from the busy central part of the city, it heralds a quieter stay. From the window you can catch great views of the abandoned Battersea power station that is often used for TV shows and movies.
Inside the hotel the rooms are ALL SUITES! But what more would you expect from a 5* hotel? For me I loved the Samsung Flat TV's and the dark coloured furniture. This is offset with the lighter toned walls and carpets. The beds are obviously comfortable, very big and the sheets are Egyptian cotton sheets. Inside the bathrooms there's some earthy granite and marble fixtures, again - it speaks class!
From the hotel you can get remarkable skyline views. For me however, having the marina allows you to work and breakfast al fresco with a great water reflection. Obviously if you're in one of their Penthouse Suites you get the best views. I recommend asking for a higher room if you've not got the penthouse budget!
For a frequent business traveller, this hotel offers great communication to Heathrow airport [14km] with tube and road access to SW London's conferencing centres [Olympia] and Westminster. If you want to catch some views, you can walk along the Thames to visit some of the best London bridges crossing the Thames and my favourite Vauxhall Bridge as well!
There's great shopping along Kings Road and of course it's very close to Wimbledon. The hotel as well hosts the infamous Chelsea Football team before a match!
I ate one lunchtime at their restaurant Aquasia - you get quite a few options a la carte and it's around £31-36 which includes starters, main meal and dessert. The food is quite traditional, seasonal but not too avant garde. So this time around I liked it more!
All in all... if you're looking for a business stay and you're going to the Olympia and want to relax throughout your stay, this is probably the best hotel to stay at [that I've been to so far] in London. It's got ideal communications to central London, but better for SW London. The rooms and beds are huge - I think it's said their rooms are the biggest in London.
