"Modern Day Icon with a Big Heart"
Modern Day Icon with a Big Heart
I have stayed at The Met on business many times and it is often the saviour to a high pressured day offering the ultimate in understated luxury. Slick and sleek in an unflustered way that allows me to chill out before a great meal out in the worlds gastro centre.
This time though was family time with my team of 3 children ranging from 8 to 15. Each of them were greeted with “respect” – hugely important for growing juniors and all enjoyed the wow factor of our interconnecting series of rooms with London’s best views, set back that bit from Park Lane with uninterrupted views of the Park. They loved the Ipod Dock, the giant Plasma Screens and the wifi computer keyboards. In fact we had 3 of these sytems between the rooms so at one point they were all on line doing their own thing. Now technology is all very well, but can a fashionista’s favourite cope with a family at weekends and turn its hand to the leisure market – Yes and Yes very well. At all times the staff managed name recognition with all the children and me and my wife and they soon got to know the idiosyncrasies of them all particularly with the most convoluted room service breakfast order with each of them enjoying their own favourites from Porridge to Pancakes, Fruit and Hot Chocolate.
Luxury on London’s dearest patch is never going to be cheap, but then cheap is often what cheap gets. Value, yes of course its good value, it charges what it needs to for great quality accommodation with plenty of flexibility for families and a really caring staff that go that yard further for all their guests. Sure I had been before, but my family hadn’t and they are all seriously hard judges and they all loved it. Children these days don’t want patronising with “children’s meals” they love Nobu’s blackened Cod and they appreciate good service just as much as Mum and Dad.
The bar is a legend and it goes from good to great as it emerges from a serious makeover, great esrvice and a well made cocktails. Not a million miles away means that we enjoyed it while the children enjoyed all the stuff in the rooms.
And what do I know? – well let’s just say I’ve spent my life in them and I think honest praise is a pleasure to give when it’s so well deserved. If I loathe them I stay away, the Met remains as always a star and has now become a serious option for the discerning leisure traveller. Privately owned and personally managed by a caring team that never rest on their laurels ensuring attention to detail that makes all the difference.

"Central and Chic"
Just returned from London. Stayed in the Metropolitan, which had been recommended by a friend. The hotel is very modern and efficient. The central location, right in the heart of the West End of London, close to Hyde Park and Knightsbridge suited us well and we felt comfortable and welcomed each time we interacted with the hotel staff.
Service standards were consistent and above the standard that you normally encounter.
Keep up the good work!

"Great Central Location"
Hubby and I went on a combination business and pleasure trip. Metropolitan had a great location and was in easy walking distance of several tube stations and many London attractions. The only drawback was no coffeemaker in the room. The wireless connection was easy and the sheets and pillows were soft and comfortable. The staff was friendly and very helpful and knowledgeable. The breakfast in the hotel was very expensive and not very good, but there's a Starbucks and a Pret a Mange about 3 blocks away. However, their room service desserts were delightful!
