I stayed at the Mandeville recently after having Afternoon Tea there with some friends for a hen party. It is such a funky design hotel but not at all intimidating or uncomfortable.
Great service, great rooms and great cocktails!I stayed at the Mandeville recently after having Afternoon Tea there with some friends for a hen party. It is such a funky design hotel but not at all intimidating or uncomfortable.

I stayed in MiNC Serviced Apartments recently with some friends. It was an excellent base for our week long shopping trip. The Apartments are stylish, modern and fully kicked out. It was like having our own kitty pad right in the heart of Londonâ¬"s west end. Just over the road from St Christopherâ¬"s Place, we enjoyed some great evening outs and could just walk home.I stayed in MiNC Serviced Apartments recently with some friends.

As you enter the Cumberland hotel you're quite impressed by its massive entrance that has this modern scifi feel to it. Anyway this review isn't about the hotel itself but the Kua Bar. The Kua Bar at first site looks trendy, spacious, comfortable, trendy and swanky. I was there attending a Courvoisier event and looked forward to trying out a few new Courvoisier cocktails including the one picture which had chocolate. The cocktails themselves were great, well prepared and well presented. Now if I stopped my review at this point I'd give the Kua Bar a 4 stars... however... and that's a big however the service was extremely slow. Not because there was too many customers or not enough staff but from what I understand misunderstandings and bad management by the staff. Both my drinks and the other guests with me took 15 - 20 minutes to arrive which is completely unacceptable, so because of this I'd give the Kua Bar a 2 star and probably won't be returning.As you enter the Cumberland hotel you're quite impressed by its massive entrance that has this modern scifi feel to it.

Claridge's oozes old school luxury and is a fun place to have go for tea or meet up with people.

I met there yesterday and feel compelled to share the extra-ordinary sight of their hot chocolate. Here we go:

A Claridge's hot chocolate:
- 1 jug of thick, luxurious & hot chocolate
- 1 jug of warm milk
- A skewer of lightly flame-toasted marshmallows (bit of a bonus - dip away...)
- A few delicated looking biscuits thrown in for good measure

I am not a hot-chocolate fiend but I cannot imagine a more pucca or tasty hot chocolate in London or on the ski-slopes for that matter.
