47 Park Street By Marriott Grand Residence Club

( 2 stars , London , United Kingdom )

In a neighborhood setting, this hotel is perfect for a family. The one we stayed in was a 1 bedroom/ 1 bath with a living room and small kitchen. Loved the extra space and while they did only have room service, their English breakfast was terrific. It was served on our dining room table in the living room. This hotel is cozy and the staff was very friendly. I would stay at this hotel again.

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.

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.

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"

We were pre-warned that London luxury hotel prices were through the roof, and the warnings were right! So when we learned of a 299 GPB flat in Mayfair, complete with living room and modern, fully-equipped kitchen, we grabbed it. And it was even better than we expected! Beautiful stately building, warm and cozy furnishings, all the technology and service you might want, even a welcoming champagne reception by the resident manager. A comparable suite at a nearby hotel would have cost at least 900 GPB a night. Having stayed at the Dorchester, Claridges, the RItz and the Savoy, I will return here as my first choice. We felt like London natives in our own luxury flat.

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 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.

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.

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!

No bar, no restaurant, but the rooms are large and comfortable. Room service (nothing else is available) very expensive.
