Another great chance to win a stay at one of London’s superb Marriott Hotels

By Alex Large  //  hellolondon  //  Comments Off

Roll up, Roll up, gather round everybody! On this rather dreary day in London the London Hotel Experts are here to brighten up the gloom and give you the chance to win a nights stay at the 4* London Marriott Hotel Kensington. I know, there seems to be no let up in these  wonderful competitions we give you, but it’s in our nature to be this generous. We love love love to bring a little happiness you and I hope that you agree that this is another scorcher!

The great thing about the hotel is that the façade (which as you can see in the picture is absolutely stunning), sets the standard for the rest of the property. As you walk in, the lobby is a beacon of light with wide open spaces that will literally lift your mood in seconds. You get a great feeling of activity and life as you enter the lobby, the public areas are full of people enjoying their coffee, catching up on meetings, eating at the newly refurbished restaurant and setting off to explore London.

That’s another great thing about the hotel, it’s location. Located on Cromwell Road,you are a hop skip and a jump from Gloucester Road tube station which means you can get into central London on the Piccadilly Line in around 10 minutes and you can use the District Line from the same station to take you across to the Tower of London in around 25 minutes, perfect! You also have right on your doorstep the Natural history Museum, Science Museum and many others meaning that you are never stuck for anything to do!

The London Marriott Hotel Kensington has also recently undergone a refurbishment of it’s restaurant and the lucky winner will be able to experience breakfast in it on the morning of the departure. The new Atrium restaurant offers a lovely menu and features only the finest British beef prepared with both imagination and authenticity. This is all set as I say under one of Europe’s largest hung glass roof Atriums and means it is a real rival to any restaurant in London.

So to be in with a chance of winning a nights stay with breakfast at the new Atrium restaurant, all you have to do is go onto the London Hotel Experts facebook page and answer the following question.

If you could build a new Marriott Hotel anywhere in the World, where would it be and why.

Entries will close at 5pm on Thursday – GOOD LUCK!

It’s competition time and whatta prize we have for you!

The Marylebone Hotel, whatever way you want to pronounce Marylebone and believe me, we have a few variances in the office, the fact remains that this is one of the best hotels that you will come across in London. The eagle eyed amongst you may notice that we have done a competition at The Marylebone Hotel not so long ago (link here)  so will be completely up to speed with everything that it has to offer – especially it’s location.

But, the lovely people of blog world, although the location is one thing,  the design of the hotel is something completely out of this world! Now, forgive this old blogger for taking this directly off the hotel’s website, but I really do think it sums up the amount of detail that this property has gone into when they were creating this haven of luxury in the middle of this bustling city of ours!

“Design details make the difference: a beautiful, hand-laid mosaic floor and column in the hotel lobby, fabulous Parisian furnishings, fine Italian ceramics, tasteful lighting and countless other eye-catching touches brought about by the hotel’s multi-million pound transformation in 2008.”

So, hopefully we have sufficiently wet the appetite! When looking at a suitably fiendish question for you, which by the way will enable you to win a 2 night weekend stay at the hotel, I was drawn by the facilities and the amenities that the hotel has in the rooms. Ranging from complimentary high speed internet, flat screen TVs, duck down duvets, high power hair dryers, loads of natural daylight and really cool imaginative lighting, we wanted to know………

What you look for first in a room when booking a hotel? It can be anything!

Write your answers on the facebook page and one lucky winner will be drawn at random at 5pm this Wednesday.

Good luck!
