Since a recent refurbishment, the Thistle Marble Arch exudes a 1930s ambience. It also claims to have the largest air-conditioned bedrooms in London. Located in Marble Arch near Hyde Park, it affords easy access to most of London's central attractions, including bustling Oxford Street. The Carvery Restaurant offers a variety of cuisines, while the Glenn Miller Bar offers a number thirst-quenching exotic cocktails. And if you want to burn off those calories then the hotel's gym is the ideal place. Not to mention the business services provided at this gem of a hotel. What more could one ask for!

Thistle Marble Arch - A Nice Place to Stay

We booked a London vacation through American Airlines and chose the Thistle Marble Arch as our preferred hotel. I have to say we were not disappointed. The rooms are large by normal standards, and air conditioned - a must as we were visiting in July. I understand that air-conditioned rooms are not standard in the London area. A continental "english" breakfast was included in our rate, with the option to upgrade to a full english breakfast any morning for a few more pounds. The breakfast was fair - not a lot of choices, but the restaurant area was clean and the waiters, waitresses and host were cheery and quick to respond to any request. All of the employees from the clerk at the reception desk and the concierge to the housekeepers and porters were "out of their way" friendly to us. All inquiries were answered politely and accurately. There is a coffee and sandwich shop, bar and several other good restaurants to choose from, so leaving the hotel for meals is optional. The location of this hotel was another plus. Granted, it is very busy and not a cozy B & B hotel, but it is just blocks away from the Marble Arch underground station, and the Marble Arch itself, which is a pick up point for the double decker tour bus (recommended if you have never been to London - it helps you get your bearings!) Lot's of shopping and other things close by or easy to get to.
I would recommend this hotel for those who want a central location with the comforts of nice hotel. You won't be disappointed!
