The Arch London, is a superb example of timeless luxury combined with contemporay art and design elements. Great location with a buzzing bar and restaurant to set the tone for your city break, who knows you may be staring at the next Banksy above your breakfast!
The Arch London is a luxury lifestyle 5 star boutique hotel, just a stone's throw from Marble Arch, perfectly located for your romantic city break in London. I entered the hotel and was highly impressed with the specially commissioned unique artworks from up and coming artists on display
The Arch is proud to showcase several artworks from up and coming artists which all add to the unique individual spirit of this urban hideaway hotel. My favourite is the "New Shoes" shopping theme collage.
There are 82 individually styled rooms and luxury suites designed with opulence and luxury at the forefront. Room specification includes ultra modern flat screen TV's with Sky HD box (over 200 channels), IPod docking station, Wi-Fi, Nespresso coffee machine and granite spacious bathrooms with revitalising rain showers. A superb bonus here is "tile vision" a TV at the end of the bath, ideal for a lazy soak after a hard day out and about.
The fully stocked mini bar also provides complimentary soft drinks, so you can soon quench your thirst after your Oxford street stroll, without having to spend any more of your shopping budget. If you need to work up some more energy for your city sightseeing then a visit to the hi-tech gym may help you.
HUNter 486, The Arch London's bar and restaurant is great for evening meals or a pre dinner cocktail. This has a stylish pewter bar, furnished with sumptuous rich fabrics and chic Philippe Starck seating. The name derives from the 1950s district dialling code for Marylebone and combines glamour and excellent service for an unforgettable eating and drinking experience. Next to this is the Veuve Clicquot Salon de Champagne, here you can celebrate your romantic city break with champagne to set you off in style for the weekend.
There is also the HUNter 486 Martini Library, great to relax and catch up on the Sunday Papers or experience traditional High Tea or an afternoon cocktail or two!
There are plenty of places to visit close by the hotel, such as Marble Arch, Hyde Park and Oxford Street and Bond Street shops. In addition to this, there is a bus stop right outside the hotel and the tube just around the corner, so all of London's attractions are easily accessible should you wish to venture outside of this luxury urban hideaway.
So if you want to combine your luxury weekend city break with a chic romantic and arty boutique hotel experience, then the Arch London is an ideal choice. Check out the hotel website for special offer details. Enjoy your London city break!
