Marco Pierre White’s idea of simple is old school: elegant dishes prepared using the finest ingredients by chefs trained in London by Marco himself. The deceptively simple menu demands every dish earn its place: the choicest cuts of meat, freshest fish, classic sauces. The vibe? Grown up, relaxed, playful. The setting? An opulent room you’ll feel at home in, only better!

This hotel has turned a corner in recent times. The food is wonderful and the service superb. Occasionally the bar is grossly understaffed, which is entirely the fault of management, but otherwise it's all good!
