5Just come back from a stay at the JCT, and were blown away by the experience. We are used to staying at the Jumeirah hotels in Dubai, and thought we would give a Jumeriah London hotel a go. We normally stay in the Soho Hotel but are not that keen on is location. It said on the reviews that this had an excellent location for shopping, it certainly did!. If you are going on a shopping trip to London to visit the designer stores, then you cannot get a better location, its right on Slone Street, 5 mins walk to Harrods and Harvey Nicks. 10 minutes walk in the other direction and you are on Sloane Square and the Kings Road. Now to the hotel. We stayed in a Garden Suite for 2 nights, although the suite was quite small it did have separate lounge and bedroom, the bathroom was nice but the shower was over the bath and it was very small. The room had a balcony overlooking Cadogan gardens which was great to sit out and watch the world go by. Breakfast is first class, full English was excellent as was the buffet selection. One of the best breakfasts I have had in a hotel. We also ate in the Rib Room one evening, again the food was excellent and the bar had a good selection of cocktails. Gilt is the champagne bar which is nice and intimate however, we were the only people in it so it lacked atmosphere. The spa is great, we each had a massage and both agreed that its one of the best massages we had ever had. You must go to the Peak Club on the ninth floor and have some lazy afternoon food looking over the view of Chelsea. All in all a lovely hotel, the only thing lacking is a fancy bar that the likes of Sanderson, St Martins Lane etc have got well established. We are already planning our next weekend away and may go for one of the newly renovated luxury suites.
