“Second to none”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

This is a beautiful and luxurious hotel at the best spot in London.

The service is amazing and if your rate includes breakfast at the Northall, you will enjoy a great meal with lots of choices.

I travel extensively in the US and this Corinthia property puts any "luxury" American hotel to shame. This is truly an incomparable hotel experience!

“Absolute Luxury”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

This hotel is ace, every single inch of the place is stunning. The ceiling in one of the hotel bars has a fantastic amount of gold leaf, each small square roughly 100mm x 100mm will have been carefully put in place by hand using a smallish brush, take a long look when you visit it is truly amazing. Definitely take the time to admire the sheer amount of quality workmanship and fabulous design in the hotel public areas it a real treat to anyone who appreciates style and craftsmanship.

We ate in the restaurant on New Years Day and the food, service and wine were nothing short of excellent, the friendly staff made our stay even better if it could be better. The breakfast is again the best money can buy with just about anything you could ever want to get you going on a morning and much much more.

I used the gym and that is a real cool place to be with loads of great equipment, note to the hotel better water facilities would definitely be appreciated but still I am not complaining because every other part is unbeatable.

This is our second stay at new year as the hotel is ideally placed to watch the fireworks on the embankment then wander back in to the excellent cocktail area and listen to the pianist who again is a great guy and very talented. Thank you for playing our choice of songs on new years day night but next year it has to be wham and last christmas ha ha.

The hotel is not cheap but if like us you work hard or just have bags of cash this is without doubt the place to be at any time of the year.

Thank you to all the staff including the concierge who minded our car while we checked in the porter who delivered our bags to the room, the reception staff to who nothing was too much trouble for and the pianist who made our last night one to remember and every other member of staff because the room was always spotless and everyone was friendly. Great way to start the new year. Now I just have to save up to come back

Room Tip: I parked my own car for £36 a night, half the price of the hotel and only a five min walk away

Thank you for your delightful review of Corinthia Hotel London, we are really charmed by your response and feedback. We agree with you, the hotel really is very special, and you have pointed out the attention to detail at every level and outlet which is very much appreciated. The hotel was designed to the highest specification by GA Design, who have incorporated the best quality materials in every aspect of the building, which includes commissioning new works of art to compliment the public areas. Your stay with us was at a very magical time of year, when you could enjoy the benefits of the proximity to the spectacular fireworks display from The Thames, a few minutes’ walk away and many of our rooms overlook the South Bank. Bassoon bar serves exceptional cocktail and has a different musician every evening from 9pm until the small hours. We can’t wait to welcome you back soon.

Kind regards

“Amazing in every way!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 12, 2013

I stayed here with my mother as a girl's trip we took at the end of September 2012 for 4 days and it was absolutely amazing! The hotel staff, to the rooms, to the Concierge... they never failed to make sure we were happy with out stay! We once were waiting a while for a taxi to come around the hotel, and after some time the man at the door ran down the street to hail one for us and brought the taxi to the hotel. Such service was unexpected and definitely exceeded our expectations. I highly highly recommend this hotel! I cannot think of one bad thing!
I tried out their spa, had a massage and used their spa facilities - all great! The room we were in was the Executive Room which was very large and clean! I loved the walk in closet! The bed was very very comfortable. The bathrooms were also a nice size. The nespresso machine in the room was an added plus! I loved the location and felt it was nice to be a bit outside all the commotion, yet so close to so many things!
I cannot wait to stay here again! I'll be back in 2 weeks :)

Thank you for posting such a generous and kind review of Corinthia Hotel London, we are especially pleased about your comments regarding our personnel team as we pride ourselves most on our philosophy of Craftsmanship of Care and always exceeding our guest’s expectations. We appreciate that you have highlighted all the special aspects of the hotel, including our amazing ESPA Life spa and gym, our extra large rooms as standard, fabulous walk-in closets, spacious bathrooms and Nespresso machines in every room. The hotel is an oasis situated in a quiet corner of Whitehall, yet adjacent to a central transport hub and within walking distances of many of London’s major attractions and cultural activities. We cannot wait to welcome you again next week, and perhaps this time you could enjoy our wonderful restaurants, classic British food in The Northall, or modern Italian in Massimo Restaurant & Oyster Bar.

Kind Regards, Matthew Dixon, General Manager

“Almost perfect”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 11, 2013

We stayed here for 3 nights and found the hotel very comfortable. The beds are super, the little hall and night lights at the floor are great. The space in the walk-in wardrobe was o.k. but the possibility of hanging coats, trousers, etc. was limited. We wonder where people stash their wardrobe when on a longer stay. The room itself was nicely furnished though a little plain. Checking in was fast and efficient with a personal guide explaining all details of the hotel cum room. Unfortunately, we never received a newspaper which was part of the offer in our booking. Also I would recommend great care when booking through the internet on the hotel's website. Certain rates mean an immediate charge of the total costs and are not changeable nor can they be cancelled. Breakfast was good but not extraordinary at a price of 30 Pound Sterling p.p. And extra eggs when ordered separately are added to the bill! The perfectly working shower is something extraordinary for London hotels. We usually encountered great problems in most hotels in England.

Thank you for posting your review of Corinthia Hotel London and your constructive comments. All of our rooms are of a different configuration and longer stay clients may be allocated a room with a larger sized wardrobe. The design of the hotel combines both the grandeur of original exterior with modern internal décor and fittings . Our bathrooms are really luxurious and all come with under-floor heating, separate bath and rain shower and built in TV as standard, as well as being amongst the largest of most London hotels. We look forward to welcoming you once again in the near future.

“Absolute luxury”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 8, 2013 via mobile

The Corinthia is easily one of the finest hotels I have stayed at.

We booked onto a rate via the hotel's own website which included breakfast, champagne on arrival and massages in the day spa as a weekend treat. It wasn't the cheapest rate but was great value for money overall.

The rooms are modern yet have a classic elegance, the staff are curteous and helpful without being overbearing and the day spa is already renown for being one of the best/most exclusive in London.

The breakfast is also first-rate and, being centrally located by Whitehall, is popular with business people as well.

I have no reservations about recommending Corinthia - we had an amazing stay.

Thank you for submitting your glowing review of Corinthia Hotel London, we really appreciate such positive feedback. It sounds like you had the wonderful opportunity to enjoy all our facilities including our online booking system, which is very easy to navigate. Your special weekend package of champagne and use of the ESPA Life spa and gym plus treatments is just one of our fabulous deals.

Breakfast in The Northall is becoming the most popular meal of the day, and we also welcome external guests. We are genuinely pleased you enjoyed your time with us and hope to be able to extend that warm welcome once again.
