The Metropolitan is a cool, contemporary hotel & retreat, located on Old Park Lane, Mayfair perfect for business or leisure. The city's most glamorous neighbourhoods are within a short walk, including Mayfair, Knightsbridge and Piccadilly. All suites overlook Hyde Park, the green heart of London. The hotel has a contemporary style, highlighting simplistic designs and adding warm colours such as coffee and cream with accents of plum. Guest rooms and public areas offer complimentary Wi-Fi and high-speed internet access. The Japanese-Peruvian restaurant, Nobu, buzzes at lunch and dinner with devotees of its Michelin-starred cuisine. The Met Bar is a cult classic among the music, media and fashion crowd, a sultry lounge bar and members only club with live DJs and memorable Martinis. For a quieter moment, retreat to the COMO Shambhala Urban Escape offering a full-range of holistic, Asian-inspired therapies including Reiki and Reflexology in addition to yoga and a fully-equipped private gym. Deluxe City Rooms: These spacious rooms overlooking Mayfair include a king-sized bed with Egyptian cotton sheets, a desk and a comfortable seating area. Inter-connecting Twin Deluxe City Rooms with two separate beds are available on request. Metropolitan Rooms: These oversized rooms offer memorable views of London's Royal Parks. The king-sized bed, large desk and comfortable banquette seating area make for a soothing, contemporary space with an abundance of natural light.

Not as chic as it once was...

Still a very nice place, the Metropolitan doesn't seem to be what it used to be... While the rooms are still generally in good shape, a few things showed the wear and tear of the years. Most disappointing however, was the service: free champagne wasn't delivered as promised, then was late after two reminders; the comforter wasn't changed from down to hypoallergenic, as asked.

Nice, sparse, nothing special.

The hotel has a nice location in Mayfair, on Hyde Park and Park Lane, but it is modern, sparse, and not particularly warm. There is no real character, it is a bit 'cool', the bar is OK at best, and that is about all to say - it is not a great value, nor very special, though internet is free. If you want a "London" experience, try Dukes or a more historical place, not this.

Excellent. First class service

Excellent service, very friendly, attentive staff who could not do enough for you. Its a popular place but you are never neglected as a guest. The hotel itself is clean and modern with spacious comfortable rooms. Location is perfect if you are in town for the first time. Concierge got us reservations at several hard to get in places and their communication with confirmation was first class. Having lived in London for 8 years and stayed at several hotels, staying at The Metropolitan for the first time i would definitely go back. Excellent hotel all round. highly recommended.

Great location with very good service. Rooms are fairly large but the views were not so good (second floor room looking at roof tops in the center with lots of air vents and mechanical units.

Emplacement et accueil

Hôtel idéalement situé, bénéficiant de proches accès au métro et aux arrêts de bus. Personnel très chaleureux et distingué. Petit déjeuner excellent, mais quelque peu onéreux...

Hyvää palvelua hyvällä sijainnilla

Hotellin sijainti todella hyvä. Henkilökunta oli todella palvelualtista ja kaikki toimi muutenkin hotellissa hyvin. Erityiskiitos hyvin toimineesta suihkusta, vettä tuli riittävästi ja suihkun käyttäminen oli helppoa; tämä ei ole aina itsestään selvää Lontoon hyvissäkään hotelleissa.
