Best service
🏆1st place Park Room Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel hotel Park Lane London
Lovely 5 star Hotel with great service. We was offered additional glasses of Champagne at no extra charge as there was a slight delay with bringing out our food. The manager took time to chat to us and was interested in my feedback. Nothing was too much for them and they made us feel special.
