“Palace-adjacent suites with real kitchens”
The property sits three minutes from Buckingham Palace — sixty-square-metre-plus suites with huge kitchens, sitting rooms and washers, rare nine-thirty early check-ins, daily meticulous cleaning and warm staff who gift snacks, presents and teddy bears for children. Personalised service is called second to none; breakfast runs in shared or dedicated restaurants beside a courtyard, and a spa is on site. Small notes: a single cramped bathroom with no tub in one suite, and a breakfast that could not be coordinated for one booking.
