Jumeirah Carlton Tower - London, United Kingdom 

Luxury Hotel in a Great Location
Posted: Mon, Jul 07 2008
A lovely hotel in a great location in Knightsbridge. We have stayed in a few of the Jumeriah hotels now and they have all been pure indulgence! Alhtough they should be as they're not cheap! The two hotels in Dubai we stayed in I gave an excellent rating and this hotel just misses out on that grade due to the service. Although I do feel picky saying that as the service was very, very good but when comparing it to the Al Qsar and the Burj it fell short slightly. The two small problems were we had to wait a while for our breakfast to be cooked in the morning and had to ask the waiter to hurry them along .Secondly our sirius points which we were told would be sorted out for us by concierge I am still waiting to hear about and we are now in July! Other than that the hotel was really nice. The spa is on a high floor of the hotel providing great views, the staff are very friendly and mostly attentive and the rooms luxurios and comfortable. I woudl definately return to the Carlton Tower.

Fabulous Location for a Shoppers Paradise

Just 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.

Fabulous Hotel - Loved Everything

We have stayed in a few top hotels in London but this so far has to be the best in terms of quality, cleanliness and oh my - the best breakfast ever had (even better than the Burj Al Arab & the Ritz!!). It is not as nostalgic as somewhere like the Ritz or Dorchester but more definately worth the money as you are not just paying for the name. Our suite was a Garden suite overlooking Cadogan Place - beautifully and tastefully decorated. The beds (something that alot of reviews dont mention!) are the most comfortable in any hotels I have stayed- something which I have always found with Jumeirah hotels. The breakfast is truly memorable - everything just tasted so wonderful. Recommend the Aberdeen Angus steak and eggs benedict - as for the pancakes, these were out of this world. Location is second to none - just around the corner from the Lowndes Hotel (another Jumeirah property - which I would also highly recommend for its intimate style). All the staff were very attentive, the swimming pool was clean and well kept. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff and I would certainly stay here again next time in London.
