“The best located of all the modern ‘designer’ hotels in the city. Interiors marry old with new to great effect, think period features, four-poster beds, plasterwork, and sleek modern furnishings by international designers. The lively terrace bar attracts a young hip crowd. A chic choice. ”

Hotel review

Design has not lost touch with common sense here. It is comfortable, it works and it’s welcoming. Location (next to the Grand) is central to its appeal, but the Lydmar has successfully pulled in a fashionable clientele and that makes the public rooms lively. Ladies lunch at the Lydmar. The bedrooms have period features (plasterwork etc.) but modern furniture - not too modern - brings it into the 21st. century and eclectic junk shop investments (a child’s trike, old cameras, books in interesting bindings, etc.) soften the cutting edge.

24-Hour Room Service

"It's as modern as can be, and yet a classic establishment: you can mingle and make new friends easily, or keep quietly to yourself. Neither is frowned upon."
