The Metropolitan, London is located on one of the most significant thoroughfares in London – Park Lane, where it joins Hyde Park Corner. Mayfair lies east of the hotel, Hyde Park to its west. Both are in view, while Knightsbridge and Piccadilly are five-minute walks. Heathrow airport is a 45-minute car journey, or 15 minutes by train. Gatwick operates from nearby Victoria station. The 150 accommodation, spread out over nine floors, includes 51 park-facing rooms (where the 31 suites are located, as well as doubles) and 99 city-facing rooms that look towards Mayfair's rooftops. Park Suites have separate sitting areas. City Studios are large, open-plan and flanked with banquettes. Metropolitan Rooms are also desirable – a little smaller than Studio Rooms, at 33sq metres, from which guests can enjoy striking vistas of London’s Royal Parks. Deluxe City Rooms, with Mayfair views, are a popular choice among business clients (desk space is generous) while the 29sq metre City Rooms are ideal for single business travellers visiting the capital for one night. Note that all rooms feature voicemail, UK and US modem points, dual line direct dial telephones and a private fax line with a designated number. Complimentary broadband and WiFi are available throughout the hotel, and printers and mobile phones on request. This five star hotel also features one-, two- and three-bedroom suites, some wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows, all with Hyde Park views. The Deluxe Suite on the Ninth Floor suite has a separate living room, which includes a dining table (seating four people comfortably) and guest cloakroom. Further details include a Bang & Olufsen CD-player, iPod docking station and DVD player. The sleek yet serene design is complemented with selected pieces of antique Asian furniture introducing soft, Eastern accents. The 110sq metre Penthouse is among London’s most dramatic rooms – high above Park Lane’s traffic and that sweeping vista of green (a view also enjoyed from the freestanding bathtub and the expansive shower). There is a balcony with a Japanese rock garden. The Metropolitan, London was among the capital’s first hotels to embrace contemporary design. However, the interiors are also timeless, a subtle balance achieved with a simple philosophy in mind: to strip back the non-essential elements of a traditional English hotel to create something cool yet accessible, sophisticated and warm. The hotel’s understated style has been maintained during a gentle refurbishment programme in 2006, highlighting simplistic designs and adding warm colours such as coffee and cream with accents of plum. But it is not just design that has secured the Metropolitan, London’s iconic status. Service is energetic, with consistent attention to detail. It has flair, its Concierge imparting a level of local knowledge that allows each guest to feel like a London insider. Guest services are comprehensive, from 24-hour room service to a Business Centre with secretarial facilities. A film and CD library is also available, and a hotel boutique selling magazines, gifts and essentials. As with all COMO Hotels and Resorts, cuisine is a key element of the experience. At the Metropolitan, London, Executive Chef Mark Edwards heads up one of the most exciting kitchens in the capital, ‘Nobu’, serving an original mix of Peruvian-Japanese cuisine (both countries use raw fish; in Peru, however, the marinade includes different chillies, types of citrus, garlic and coriander). The combination has become known as ‘New Style Japanese.’ Nobuyuki Matsuhisa, the founder of Nobu and co-owner, now has an international string of restaurants carrying his name, from New York to Tokyo. London, his first European venture, remains a headline success – open lunch and dinner, retaining a Michelin star, located on the first floor of the hotel with views of Hyde Park. Specialities include black cod with miso, the fish marinated for two to three days, sashimi salad with Matsuhisa soy sauce dressing, Hamachi sashimi with jalapenos, and squid ‘pasta’ with light garlic sauce. For breakfast, hotel guests make use of ‘The White Room,’ a bright, airy space for a quiet, healthful breakfast, also popular for private dining. The 24-hour room service menu includes Nobu specialities as well as late-night comfort options, like burgers and club sandwiches. In addition, the Met’s kitchen specialises in healthful COMO Shambhala Cuisine. This singular approach to cooking – using raw foods, avoiding dairy, focusing on organic foodstuffs – can be seen on Lobby menus, breakfast menus and is also available with room service. For Metropolitan Events, COMO Shambhala menus can be created featuring energising smoothies, snacks and more substantial three-course gourmet meals. There is also the Met Bar – a members bar, open to hotel guests, considered to be among the capital’s most dynamic night time haunts (it also serves light salads, sandwiches and canapés from lunch until evening). Interiors feature deep club chairs and wine-dark walls with acid-etched glass and an abstract mural designed by British artist Jonathan Huxley. Lighting is soft and moody. Bar staff, called 'mixologists' at the Met, create some 26 varieties of Martinis, such as the Pineapple Martini. Music is provided by international DJs. To provide a counterpoint to this urban energy, the Metropolitan, London has a substantial 207sq metre COMO Shambhala Urban Escape designed for guests seeking greater health through yoga and related treatments. There is a fully equipped gym, two treatments rooms and separate male and female steam. Guests can also take advantage of COMO Shambhala’s Asian-based therapies. These range from specific body treatments to facials and massages delivered by experienced practitioners who customise treatments according to individual needs. Many of the therapies employ COMO Shambhala products, formulated with pure organic essential oils and herbs. For those in London on business, the hotel’s location puts it among the top venues for events, from cocktail parties to private lunches, press days, TV screenings, fashion shows and interviews. The five state-of-the-art rooms accommodate up to 80 people. |
