My final sprint to hit Marriott Titanium this December! Thanks to the Amex \u00a3400 offer (and yet another friend), I’ve chosen the JW Marriott Hotel<\/a> to stay for a couple of nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next to Knightsbridge, Hyde Park is another area where a few luxurious hotels are located, which includes the JW Marriott, InterContinental and Hilton. Personally I don’t like it that much though, as there’s no eatery or tube station nearby, so not very convenient unless you purely want to stay in your hotel room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can’t easily tell from the outside, but the hotel is actually fairly big – you could tell from the massive lobby and reception area at the ground floor. Judging from the lobby only, the JW Marriott looks closest to what a typical five-star hotel would appear in my mind, amongst its counterparts that I have visited recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Executive Lounge is also located here, which is open till 11pm and also very big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No food or alcohol is served though, but you could help yourself to some soft drinks and biscuits throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was upgraded just one-level to Superior King<\/em>. It’s a bit surprising considering how empty the hotel must be, but given that I’m not here for holiday I couldn’t care any less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although not quite spacious, the room does look elegant enough to me. I especially like this small clock on the bedside table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breakfast is served via in-room dining only, and this is how mine looks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presentation isn’t great, and the soggy omelette doesn’t taste any better either…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the poor upgrade I received and the disappointing breakfast, I can’t say the stay was very enjoyable. However, I wasn’t in a holiday mood to be honest, and the reduced experience was also partly due to the executive lounge cut etc, so during normal times it may be quite different.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
