Features

The Thistle Marble Arch, located on Oxford Street near Park Lane, is a 4-star Art Deco-style luxury hotel that pampers guests with all of the style and grandeur of yesteryear with the comforts and conveniences of the modern day.

Business and leisure go hand-in-hand with nearly 700 spacious bedrooms, all comfortably decorated and boasting every conceivable amenity and convenience.

An on-site fitness center is the perfect place to work off that extra clotted cream-topped slice of pie, though with Hyde Park just across the street, a scenic, outdoor walk is within easy reach.

The hotel offers three distinct dining experiences: The Carvery, a 1930s-themed London restaurant, serves a classic carvery buffet; Glenn Miller's Bar, a traditional London bar adorned with music memorabilia of the American jazz musician, is the ideal place to enjoy a drink or light meal; and The Lounge, a leather sofa-adorned lobby bar, is the perfect place to grab a quick bite or relax for afternoon tea.

Good value in the West End

After a long search for a reasonably priced hotel, I found a deal advertised for the Thistle in Marble Arch. While we certainly did not have the best room in the hotel for the price we paid, we got a very roomy and comfortable space. It felt a little outdated, maybe in need of a little refresh but it was adequately clean and nice a quiet. Perfect price and location for these tourists!

As good as it gets

I have stayed 3 nights at this hotel. The location was WONDERFUL. I could get from the airport to the hotel by using the underground (Marble Arch station is just 1 minute walk away from the hotel) and thus saving a lot of money not having to pay for a taxi. The room was clean and spacious. The hotel staff was very courteous. I didn't have breakfast at the hotel (I noticed the long lines of people waiting to enter the dining room), but there are lots of coffee shops on Oxford street which have nice breakfasts at a reasonable price. To sum up - I will stay there again the next time I'm in London.

The rooms are lovely and the beds comfortable. The hotel is right next to the shopping area, so that's definitely a plus. This is my favorite place to stay in London.

Excellent Hotel for Central London stay

We stayed for two nights at Thistle Marble Arch in London. The room was excellent with all needed amenities. The staff were very attentive and helpful. The location is short walk to all Oxford street shopping and dining, a definite plus. We will definitely return to this hotel when we visit London next time.

Committed to high standards

Clean, friendly and highly efficient staff, with many extra services not always found such as an Email / Internet service free in their Business Centre. Many options for dining but also great options nearby with smart British Pub or Italian Restaurants. Breakfast option one block west. Deficiency? Poor TV news coverage on American concerns, while many options are in place for mid eastern guests.

Aniversary in London

This was our second stay in this hotel. Checked in late, around 11pm. We have booked a executive double, but we received a suite, for some unknown reasons. Room was big, but the furniture is quite old and need some repair. Nice breakfast, very good location.
