The Landmark Hotel first opened as a grand Victorian railway hotel in the late 1800s, and it evolved through the eras of Gothic Revival and the Roaring Twenties into, eventually, the elegant property it is today. ..
The Landmark is one of those grand hotels that reflect the character of their city — in this case an ever-shifting mix of old and new. It's location in central London, near Regent’s Park and next to a subways, makes traveling around London easy.
The Winter Garden Restaurant, set under an eight-story glass atrium, holds a popular Sunday Jazz Brunch.
By London standards, the 300 rooms and suites are spacious, averaging almost 600 square feet, and they feature a spot-on blend of history and haute amenities: Victorian-style furnishings, thick carpets and a soothing palette emphasizing pale yellows, along with new TVs, gleaming bathrooms and Molton Brown toiletries.
The Landmark has a well-appointed spa, but what we especially like is the creative take on traditional treatments. Take the Sanarium, which is like a sauna that includes a relaxing music and light show, or the ayurvedic treatments, which range from a four-hand massage to hot stones with spice-enriched oils to an Indian-style scalp massage.
The four restaurants and bars — particularly the Winter Garden, set in an eight-story glass atrium — draw lively crowds of both guests and locals.
