The Marylebone

Why do people love staying in your hotel? People love to stay with us because of our service levels and the welcome they receive on arrival. Our superb gym, pool and spa built over three floors is a big attraction as is our location in Marylebone Village neatly tucked behind Oxford Street and only a few minutes’ walk to Mayfair and Bond street. Marylebone Village provides an opportunity to experience life as a Londoner, the unique charm of Marylebone Lane and High Street where the locals spend their free time to the spectacular Selfridges department store literally around the corner.In addition, our typical guest is very aware of what they want from life and is confident enough to choose a hotel that has not got a big brand name hanging over the door, they want to experience London from more unique local perspective.

Marylebone Village provides an amazing local experience in the middle of one of the biggest cities in the world. We have everything from the best restaurants, the best shopping on our door step to the little pub (The Golden Eagle) outside our back door on Marylebone Lane where they pull out the piano every evening to entertain the crowd, I have even witnessed a few of our guests singing on occasion. Run, walk in Hyde Park or Regents Park, pop in to the Wallace Collection, do some late night shopping on Oxford street or have a meal out in the open in St Christopher’s Place.
