As far as 4-star accommodation in London is concerned, Durrants Hotel lives up to all expectations. It's not far away from Bond Street and Marble Arch Tube stations, making it a great base from which to access the rest of London. The nearby attractions include both Marble Arch itself and Bond Street shopping, while the picturesque Hyde Park and the bustling Oxford Street are also at hand.

The building is an 18th century Victorian townhouse and this is made all the more clear by the amount of antiquated decorations. The service is as warm and efficient as the décor is classical and embedded in its Victorian roots. You can expect a concierge service and several places to relax and even dine with class. The Grill restaurant is a great choice, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with quality fresh dishes.

Keeping comfort in mind, each room at Durrants has been fully furnished and draped with English fabrics. Each room features a handmade Savoir bed and antique furniture can be found in some others. But they mix it up with the modern amenities which include wireless internet access, flat-screen tellies complete with satellite channels and PPV movies. Air-conditioning also features but isn't standard.
