We stayed here for a friday and saturday night recently. Initial impressions are great, bars look amazing and the rooms (we stayed in Atlantis) were big and very comfortable, the bed was amongst the best I've ever slept in. Atlantis features a fishtank in the wall above the headboard, through which you gaze directly into the shower behind..very cool, very sexy :-) Tip - the pump in the fishtank buzzes all night, but you can ask reception to switch it off. We drank at all the bars, drinks were good, particularly in Paris where we had plenty of cocktails, barman up there was a whizz with shakers. It was cool to be able to enter Paris through a dedicated hotel guest entrance, and the lift can be taken straight to Shanghai nightclub for a star entrance also LOL
It is a shame the other staff don't excel then. Upon arrival I requested a key as my wife had already arrived, checked in and then moved on to see some bars. The man on reception acted suprised and shocked when I asked for a key, muttering 'Another one?' which I confirmed yes to. Why wouldn't a couple visting a city for a weekend want a room key each? Also they failed to turn the bed down that evening, despite the fact we checked in mid afternoon so obviously weren't going straight to bed for the night...only disspointing as the advertising highlights these 'little touches' that were absent. Using the free/welcome drinks vouchers wasn't very pleasant, as there were 4 people in our party we had 4 vouchers and used them in 2 different bars...both times there was a goodly delay whilst the barstaff went to managers to check, leaving us looking like cheapskates/bill dodgers each time in front of other patrons.... Upon checkout the guy behind the desk couldn't operate the creditcard swipe machine so a 15 minute delay ensued whilst he waited for someone who could help.
In summary it's a beautiful hotel with amazing rooms and details, but the staff all appear to be new and or temporary and really let the place down on that front...I'd still recommend the hotel, but not if you value quality of staff/service too highly.

Myself and my husband have just returned home from a fantastic two day stay at the Le Monde. From the moment you walk into the hotel you know you're going to have a brilliant time - the staff can't do enough for you and the surroundings are impecibble.

The first night we stayed at the Havana room which overlooked George Street. While the room was a little small, the decor was beautiful with a lot of attention to detail. There was Cuban music playing as we entered the room and a couple of Cuban DVDs for us to watch if we wanted. If the DVDs didn't take our fancy, we could choose others from the free DVD library available to guests.

In the middle of the night myself and my husband were woken by a couple of (very young) guests making a huge racket in the hallway outside our room. The were very drunk and had brought back some friends to have a party in their room. We would have just tried to ignore it but it went on for ages and they obviously thought the hotel was for their pleasure only! I called reception to ask someone to get them to be quiet and not long after that they did seem to calm down. Next morning on our way to breakfast, the Manager approached us and apologised profusely about the noise the night before. He then said that he would like to upgrade us to the Marakkesh suite to make our stay more enjoyable! We couldn't believe it - we weren't even going to say anything about the night before! Anyway, Marakkesh was amazing and huge! There are two separate seating areas (one set in a glassed turret with leather seats) and huge plazma tv and an ensuite bathroom bigger than most lounges!

We can't recommend the place highly enough - breakfast was delicious and our evening meal in 'Paris' was sublime.

A definate treat everyone should experience at least once their life!

This was a chill out for my Husband and I, who own our own small hotel and have two small children. We parked our car immediately infront of the hotel and as it was after 6.00 p.m we could leave it there until 11.00 a.m next morning with an overnight ticket. We stayed in the Paris room and as everyone else has described the attention to detail is fantastic. Cleanliness is high on our priorities and we could not fault this.

The staff were courteous, helpful and couldn't do enough for you. We ate in the hotel and the service was impeccable.

The head housekeeper showed us around other rooms in the morning and each and everyone appeared special. I do not think you would be disappointed which room you chose. We were on the front of the building and never had any disturbance from noise. A great watching place sat outside with a cocktail, as the hustle and bustle of a very clean, unthreatening city goes about it's day.

Will return and would recommend very highly!

  • Liked — The atmosphere, cleanliness and being treated respectfully by the staff.
  • Disliked — no complaints
  • Tips/Secrets: — Do not park in St JAmes multi storey if you have a nice car!!
