Mandarin Oriental Hotel

When considering if a $450+ a night at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park is worth your US dollars, then reconsider some facts. Location: hotel is backed by Hyde Park, faces Harvey Nichol's and is a 4.3 minute walk from Harrod's. Rooms: grand not but gilded wooden furniture and superbly comfortable beds with pure Irish linen and Frette cotton sheets and bathrobes. Food: award-winning foliage restaurants and Park Terrase recommended as some of best in city without forgetting  famous Madarin Oriental afternoon tea. Spa and gym: consistently voted one of the best urban spas in the country. You can also balance all the wine drinking and rich meals out by hitting state-of-the-art gym. A pretty good return for what you fork out.
