This is a recently upgraded deluxe hotel which conveys a very warm
atmosphere and it comes as no surprise to learn that it has won
coveted prizes from such organisations as The Egon Ronay Guide and
The Executive Travel Magazine and Visit London.
Exterior: This is a big, elegant Regency-style building with added
Art Deco features. Very imposing entrance and drive, where a group
of doormen await the guests.
Lobby: The hotel has a large and very imposing lobby which adjoins
the lounge area where there is additional seating. At the end of
the lobby, and surrounded by comfortable sofas, there is a huge,
contemporary fireplace. All public areas are brightly decorated
with a grey marble floor, marbled columns and pictures on the
walls. This is one of the best hotel lobbies in London.
Rooms
The large rooms were all totally refurbished in 2007. These are
light and elegantly decorated with neutral tones of beige and
taupe. For an elegant, contemporary feel and to contrast with the
soft furnishings, the furniture features dark chocolate stained
woods, and contrasting walnut. Designer accessories and pieces of
artwork add warmth and originality. Every detail has been accounted
for, the Churchill style is unique, with a subtle blend of
tradition, with the very finest of modern facilities. The marbled
bathrooms have been redesigned using natural-coloured materials
with smart clean lines. Both the rooms and the marble bathrooms are
in exceptional condition.
Restaurant & Food
The hotel has two restaurants. The Montagu restaurant has been
relaunched and has already become a reference in London's West End.
The modern decor, the views over Portman Square, the open, always
busy kitchen and a wonderful menu has made of this restaurant a
fantastic place to lunch and dinner. Always busy and with good
atmosphere and somehow there's always a table available! Wooden
furniture, neutral colours and wooden floors.Worth mentioning is
the other restaurant, Locanda Locatelli. This award wining,
Michelin-starred venue is one of the best London restaurants.
Giorgio Locatelli, the master chef and owner, will satisfy the most
demanding of guests. The bar, The Churchill Bar, is a lovely divan
bar respecting the best of English Gentlemen Club traditions.
Activities & Sport
The hotel offers a sauna and its own gym. In Portman Square, guests
will also find a tennis court and beauty treatments on offer.
