What more can I say than I absolutely loved this place. It is an incredible property and almost like being at home for me. This was my first time staying here in March of 06 for 3 nights, but it will most certainly not be the last. The property itself is located in a very nice part of London-just down the road from Park Lane and the Grosevnor and Dorchester properties. This residence is behind the US Embassy and you can se the back of the Embassy from the higher floors. I stayed primarily at Marriott properties on a recent trip across Europe on business. Yes it is true that this property does not take part in the Marriott rewards program, but if that is a reason not to stay tham you will have no idea what you are missing. My father and I arrived late (~11:20pm) and we were greeted at the door by name-even though we had never stayed there before. They knew we were coming late and waited for us as the front desk closes in the evening leaving only the night doorman. We were shown to a 2 bedroom suite even though we reserved a single room. This suite included 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms (1 guest bath!), a kitchen, a great room with large flat screen TV and 6 person dining room table. All rooms were separated by hallways. It is just a wonderful relaxing place to stay. The entire staff is helpful and although they are always watching you it does not feel like you are being spied on. They just want to get to know you so they can get you to buy into their concept. That concept being ownership. Now this is NOTHING like the pressure you get in Maui to buy into a timeshare. They do it the old fashioned way--like having welcome parties for arriving guests such as ourselves and they welcomed us with a couple bottles of Dom Perignon. Classy! The price we paid for each night was remarkably low- much lower than what we typically pay for the London Hilton and the room was 5x the size. I can honestly say that this was the best "hotel" I've ever stayed in. Not that you would really call this a hotel. My father has already made reservations to return on his next trip and is considering ownership in the property. This place can truly be called a home away from home.

we stayed here for 4 nights 25 march through the 29th and loved it , the rooms where very big and not far from oxford street where we found great food at marks and spencers and selfridges and enjoyed a couple of great meals "in"when we where just too tired to walk any further , cant wait to go back to "47"

This was a GREAT hotel, in a wonderful London location and we were able to get a late (10 days prior to arrival) VERY competative rate in comparison with the other Marriott Hotels in the same London neighborhood. Unfortunately, we made reservations at this hotel as part of a series of hotels to achieve a Marriott Rewards promotion, only to get to the hotel and have them mention, just by chance, that they no longer participate in the Marriott Rewards program, and that we would not receive credit or points for our stay. I would have given this hotel an above average to excellent rating if it weren't for the VERY poor way that they handled this situation. If you are not a member of Marriott Rewards, or don't care about getting credit, then I would highly recommend this hotel. It is a very small property - only 43 rooms, I think, so the service that you do get is very personalized, and the rooms are VERY big. Our bedroom alone was larger than any of the other hotels in London or Paris that we stayed in on this trip, and you also have a very large living room/dining room combination and a kitchen with everything but an oven. (Because this is the timeshare arm of Marriott, the smallest setup that is available is a one-bedroom apartment/suite - they also have 2 bedroom units). This would be even more beneficial if you are traveling with a family, versus just a couple - and with the value of the dollar in London, being able to eat a few meals in the hotel versus having to eat out could save you some serious money. Just take a stroll through the Harrods Food Court and do your grocery shopping there! I wish that we had not been Marriott Rewards members that were counting on the credits and points we expected to get from our 4 night stay at this property - it would have been a 5-star ending to a great European vacation. Instead, we stayed only 2 nights and moved to a different Marriott 3 blocks away.

Stayed here from 9/11-9/14/04. This is a jewel among the Marriott properties. Less like a typical hotel, much more of a lovely flat with all the amenities of room service and a particularly warm and dedicated staff. Our standard one-bedroom suite was beautifully decorated and came with a living room far nicer than mine at home. It also inlcuded a lovely foyer, kitchen and bath. 47 Park Street is a beautiful city-type mansion, and with about 45 rooms far more intimate than those hotels with bustling and cold lobbies. The property has the feeling of your own home, only better. It is especially nice for one traveling with a nanny and baby, as we were, who is seeking an upscale environment. The hotel was conveniently located in residential Mayfair, a stone's throw from Hyde Park. We typically stay in 4 or 5 star properties, and this ranks among the nicest places we've ever stayed.

We loved this hotel! We had our kids 3, 5, and 7 and stayed in a two bedroom suite. It was perfect for us, it was newly done and very clean...and first class. The location is great, right near Hyde Park and Oxford Street. The staff is so helpful and kind, we will stay here again.

Excellent service. Friendly staff, especially the concierge - Hayden. Suites are huge by London standards. Good for 3-4 people staying together, or a family. Living room has pull out couch for 2. Also has a nice dining table where they serve you breakfast if you choose to dine in. The hotel does not have a restaurant nor a pool but it is very relaxing. The bedroom has its own TV. The only drawback if more than 2 people stay in a suite is that the bathroom is inside the bedroom. It is a short walk to the Marble Arch underground. The hotel is in the Mayfair area, very quiet neighborhood surrounded by buildings with lots of window flower boxes. Very English, especially the entrance with the image of the doorman standing there in coattails. Chocolates on your bed when they do the turn-down service ! This is one of Marriott's membership-residence type of a hotel. Highly recommended but not cheap. Again - concierge is excellent, and they get featured in magazines.

After hastily checking out of a very shabby nearby hotel, my family landed at the Marriott 47 Park Street. I had asked for a 1 bedroom suite; the boys could sleep on a pull-out couch in the living room. We arrived by taxi to an absolutely drop-dead gorgeous townhouse right behind the American Embassy! The lobby is beautiful and the gentlemen working the lobby were so kind and helpful. Gavin, at the front desk, upgraded us to a two bedroom! When we were shown to our suite, we just about kissed the bell-hop. The apartment was stunning! Brand new and luxurious. Off the foyer is a small granite counter-topped kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom, the master bedroom with it's own huge bathroom, and the living room with dining table for 6, desk, and couch and upholstered chairs around the entertainment center. The quality of the furnishings, fabrics, decorations... were better than I've ever seen in an hotel. A continental breakfast was delivered each morning; the concierge was most helpful in his restaurant recommendations; and the location was superb. I would most highly recommend this property - especially to families! Even in a 1 bedroom suite, the children would be sleeping in a separate room and the kitchen was most useful. I wish my own home were as beatiful as 47 Park street!

I really don't know what the hoo ha is all about. We occupied the Premium residence. The bedroom, kitchen, bathroom were tiny. The lounge was ok. The bed was terrible, standard USA Marriott quality. The place is starting to look tired and worn. The facilities are not what I would call home from home. The only positive factor was the staff. They are truly wonderful. All round they were polite and tried to do their best without being intrusive. I am just sorry that they have to deal with a property that is starting to look worse for wear. We spent time at the Kensington Marriott later that week in their executive suite - which was an altogether wonderfully luxurious experience. You should try their beds! It depends what one calls luxury. The advertising blurb gives a different impression.

The bottom line is that 47 Park Street did not deliver good value. I did quite a bit of research on luxury London hotels before I booked, and 47 seemed to promise the space, location, service, and overall atmosphere we were seeking. Unfortunately, while the location in Mayfair is great, all other promises were not kept. The premium suite we occupied was tired (wallpaper peeling, creeking floors, tiny tv's). Service was just adequate--a call for a cab an hour in advance resulted in our being told when we arrived in the lobby that the concierge couldn't get a cab--"just go outside and hail one." This was a problem because it was raining and the hotel is on a side street. Also, while the hotel's website promises room service from the Michelin-starred Le Gavroche restaurant next door, this "ended a year ago." Room service from the hotel kitchen was not very good. In terms of atmosphere, the hotel is also a Marriott vacation time share property, and did not embody the luxury London residence feeling we were looking for. We ended up cutting our stay short and moved to the Four Seasons several blocks away (and were threatened with an extra day's "early departure" room charge--which I vigourously rejected based upon our experiences above). But I suppose if you can get a really good rate, and don't expect too much, this might be the place for you.

Just returned from a wonderful stay at this property. We used our Marriott points to book a standard one bedroom suite here. Upon arrival, we were escorted to our suite by the head concierge who explained all of the features of the suite and the property. We were invited to very nice cocktail reception that evening where we met some of the members who had purchased there. Only the briefest mention was made of the timeshare aspect, and there was absolutely no pressure to buy. Excellent staff and great location. I highly recommend this property.
