Although Marriott has extended everyone\u2019s status into 2022, I\u2019m only a few nights short of renewing my Titanium status and I think it\u2019s worth to reach for the 75-night annual choice benefit. And my next staycation is at Marriott London Park Lane<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve stayed at the Hilton, InterContinental and JW Marriott in the area and I\u2019m not a fan of the \u201cPark Lane\u201d location. Although it\u2019s very central and near Hyde Park, there isn\u2019t anything else around. The Marriott however, is at the north end of the lane and right next to the Marble Arch station, which makes it a much better location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find minimal branding on the hotel building \u2013 I have walked past it so many times but never realised that it\u2019s a hotel. The lobby is small but nicely decorated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m upgraded to an Executive Room with Hyde Park View. As it\u2019s not a suite I didn\u2019t expect much space anyway, however the furniture is tasteful and you can tell the money spent on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The marble bathroom has a Japanese toilet seat \u2013 very smart!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cHyde Park View\u201d room actually has a view of the Marble Arch Mould, which was so notorious and criticised that it ended up becoming a free tourist site. It doesn\u2019t look as bad as in those photos to be honest \u2013 I guess more work was done to it after the initial reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The executive lounge is on the ground floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The lounge is retro-themed and a bit lacking in light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From what I understood Titanium members can only have breakfast in the lounge. There isn\u2019t much variety or frequent top-up when I come at 10am. But to give them some credit the food quality is very good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy hour starts at 5pm with three hot dishes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
