Our family of four booked a studio and a one bedroom at 44 Curzon for four nights in December, 2023. We had a fabulous stay and would not hesitate to return. The location in Mayfair is ideal; a short walk to the Green Park tube, which also has a bus stop right outside. Easy access to several of the most popular bus routes and tube lines for tourists. One stop to Westminster, and you can ride the Piccadilly Line all the way to/from Heathrow in less than an hour. The immediate vicinity is charming. The picturesque Shepherds Market is at your doorstep. We enjoyed meals at Yazu and da Corradi, and several pints at Ye Grapes. There are numerous coffee shops and a very nice Pret a Manger in the immediate vicinity. An easy walk to Brown’s Hotel which has a superb high tea service, pricey but worth every penny. The Tesco Express a block away is a bit seedy; the Marks and Spencer at Green Park tube is much nicer. Our rooms were clean and comfortable. The bathroom in studio room 1 was enormous with double sinks. Very nice shower gel, shampoo etc provided. Plenty of hot water. The beds are suitable for two adults. The furnishings are comfy, not luxurious. Excellent storage for clothes and suitcases. The sitting room in the one bedroom on the fifth floor was quite pleasant. Excellent tea and coffee making facilities in the kitchen. Selection of teas was fantastic. Paul on the front desk added so much to our stay. So friendly and professional. Highlights of our four days included the Charles Dickens Museum, the Churchill War Rooms, and Christmas at Kew Gardens, which was spectacular. We found two excellent pubs a short distance from the hotel and enjoyed excellent modern pub fare - The Builders Arms near St Alban’s Grove in Kensington, and Angelsea Arms on Selwood Place in South Kensington. We learned the hard way that many London pubs are owned by a conglomerate which appears to make much of the food offsite to be reheated. So it is worth seeking out locally owned pubs that prepare everything on site.
