Corinthia Hotel London

Went to have drinks in the hotel lobby bar. There’s a good atmosphere, but their wine selection is limited, about ⁵⁄₆ reds and whites each.
The Pinot Gris from Argentina is pretty good, but the Chardonnay is pretty caramelly.

Lovely lobby, extremely courteous staff, pretty clean rooms. Very much enjoyed our time here.

This hotel is wonderful from the extremely helpful concierge to the beautiful lobby. The workout area is very nice and has enough machines that you always have one available even at busy times. The buffet breakfast is very good and everything is very fresh. The location is very convenient to both sights and the underground.

This hotel was nothing short of AMAZING! Perfect location with less than a 5 minute walk away from Trafalgar Square, 2 minutes for the nearest tube station, 10 – 15 min walk to the London Eye.
Hotel was extremely clean with impeccable staff at hand. Definitely one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Highly recommend!!!

Afternoon Tea here is to die for!!! The Lobby is beautiful & chic. It is a bit pricey but very much worth it!

My memorable stay at this wonderful hotel was marked with understated luxury and elegance.
I had the pleasure of calling the Corinthia home for three weeks, during a business trip. The executive room I stayed in was spacious (particularly for London), immaculate, and tastefully luxurious without being overly opulent.
My room had large, gorgeous, sit-​in windows with street views. The bed was big and very comfortable. The room came with a remote for different lighting options, including «mood» lighting– which I found funny, but maybe useful for some guests.
The large bathroom had heated floors, and a tv in the soaking bath. The separate shower had both traditional and rain faucets. The bath amenities were good quality.
The walk-​in closet even had a bench, internal lights, and a mirror– all you need for getting ready.
Additional perks included treats on my pillow (alternating between chocolates and lavender sachets) and fresh slippers every night, with turn down.
The service was impeccable. My wake up call would include tea in my room, and someone would even open my curtains for me if I wanted. When I’d come back to my room at night, I’d find any stray clothes neatly folded. Overall, first class accommodation without any affectedness or attitude.
The lobby was beautifully decorated and scented, with sprawling flower arrangements. High tea and breakfast were consistently of excellent quality.
The hotel is centrally located, right across the river from the London Eye, a quick walk to Embankment station, and a stone’s throw from Piccadilly Circus.
I loved the Corinthia, and hope one day I’m fortunate enough to stay here once more.
If it’s within your budget, stay here for a posh yet peaceful getaway!

This review for catered event only.
Here for two-​day conference in several rooms and halls. First class service, facilities, catering and a staff fully attentive to hospitality. Convenient location too.
History of hotel is a grand Victorian building dating back to the late 1800s, and totally updated. I would rate 6 Stars if I could.
* Attentive service in all respects… before, during and after each meal.
* Delightful lunch that included imaginative salads, Sea Bass entrée with mixed veggies, inventive desserts with fruit, and delicious coffee.
* Décor is fresh and understated luxury with huge ceilings
* Convenient to the heart of London, and the Embankment Underground station
* Appetizers served at the end of the day with wine were tasty, visually appetizing, and attentively prepared. Generously served during entire cocktail hour.
And yes, there are Rolls Royces parked out front presumably for hire.

Enjoying our stay. The staff is pleasant and very accommodating. Their flower arrangement in the lobby and in the corridors creates a very relaxing atmosphere for the guest. If you want a hotel to relax and feel special then the Corinthia is for you.

We had a great stay. The hotel is all First Class. Exceptional customer service, beautiful room. Convenient to everything we wanted to see. We’ll be back.

I would give them 6 stars if I could. I have stayed here three times so far for a total of 5 weeks and it has never let me down.
Their attention to detail is amazing and they will go out of their way to keep you happy. It’s rated one of London top hotels for a reason.
I will keep returning here on my trips to London without hesitation.

After work on a Friday the pubs around Central London heave with crowds of workers but you just want to meet someone before popping over or up the road to the theatre. You’re not up for a loud bar and getting drunk but maybe a bite to eat, some comfy seating and a great drink. Well, come to the Corinthia.
Unlike the bars, it was easy to get a seat in the Lobby bar which was cavernous space with amazing chandelier. It was easy to get a seat and within minutes we had a menu in our hands and a drink on its way.
The lobby bar was perfect for what we wanted. The drinks were so pricey it scared me off ordering one so I stuck to water but my companions enjoyed their glasses of wine and cocktails (£16 a cocktail btw). With these prices, you’ll probably only stay for one drink unless you’re super rich.
With only half an hour before the show, the drinks came pretty quickly and so did the light bites and, with the theatre just across the road, we were in our seats less than 3 minutes from leaving. They also have another, more typical but equally swish, bar and I’m told another one somewhere.
If you’re lucky enough to stay here I’m sure it would be magnificent.

The ambiance of the afternoon tea lobby area is amazing. Very airy all sunlight. Very nice for groups the have a set of large couches.
Dessert is amazing and creative. Sandwiches are the negative part they have no taste filled with butter. They taste the same basically.

Fantastic stay. In my opinion much better than a four seasons for less money. Make sure you find time for the spa.

Upon entering the cavernous, yet beautiful lobby, the tone is set for what to expect from the rest of the Corinthia Hotel!
I was here on Christmas Eve and I must say the Christmas magic was out in full force throughout the hotel.
After the splendour and the opulence hits you, the next thing that you will surely notice is the friendly and professional attitude that all of the staff members display here. From the concierge answering all of my questions efficiently, to the rest of the staff I encountered, I found them all great.
The food here was fairly simple, but without a doubt made with a huge amount of care and attention. The dishes were not overly complex, get with creative and knowledgeable preparation they were astoundingly tasty.
There were a couple of occasions where I used the public bathrooms on the ground floor and I must say that they were incredibly opulent and beautiful looking, however, they could do with having more frequent visits from the cleaners! Another point to note from in the toilets… As you would expect, the hand wash was incredibly good. So much so, I was tempted to eat the damn stuff, it was so amazing. Just kidding. Maybe not.
The room that I was in was absolutely tremendous in terms of décor, fixtures and comfort. The views were second to none, especially if you can get a room which faces the Thames! As I said, I was here on Christmas eve, and seeing the Thames lit up in Christmassy splendour really added to the occasion.
Would I return here? Of course. I do have to concede that my visit here was not on my tab — under current circumstances I am not sure that I could justify the pricetag when I live in a nice flat less than 10 minutes away. However, I can wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone who is considering a beautiful, elegant hotel in the area!

Je recommande cet hôtel qui est juste l’un des plus agréable où j’ai pu aller!
La vue depuis le Penthouse est juste magnifique (voir la photo), ça vaut le détour.
Le déjeuner est varié, très correct, et le personnel au petit soin.
Le petit plus de l’hôtel: Un Spa splendide et spacieux avec une ambiance cosy qui né donne pas envie de retourner dans la chambre…
N’hésitez pas une seconde, je vous le recommande vraiment.

The Lobby Lounge has an outdoor area where you can have a fine cigar and perfect Manhattan. Why a Manhattan in London? If you have to ask…
The drinks are expertly made the food works.
Have a cigar and a drink and then another. Do not falter

Everything was perfect with this hotel except for our room. The carpet was dirty, oily looking fingerprints on the doors, wall needed painting and dirty bedpost. when we complained they showed us another room on another floor and the rooms were the same. Perhaps more detail is given to the suites and penthouses. The bathroom was spotless but the dirty carpet was really disappointing and unacceptable for the price.

Wow– this hotel is immense and I was lucky enough to stay in one of its beautiful suites. Toblerone is the mini bar is always gonna be respected by me. Huge ensuite bedroom and gorgeous lounge with an extra toilet to. The staff are great and cater to your every need too!

A truly wonderful experience for a weary traveler. The rooms are beautiful and relaxing. The service was very good. The restaurants were very good, but not outstanding. I will be back.

More often than not I am unbelievably disappointed in hotels in the UK. The Corinthia hotel has changed that for me!
We checked out of the Corinthia today after a 7 day stay. Here are my thoughts:
The Good —
*Gorgeous, well-​appointed rooms. Beautiful lobby. Loved the Harrods «store.»
*Staff is unbelievably nice and bends over backwards to accommodate requests.
*We didn’t eat in either hotel restaurant but breakfast (via room service, which was included in our rate) was top-​notch. Not sure what the Corinthia cook does with his scrambled eggs but they are divine!
*Location is a bit off the beaten path but the hotel is quiet which is nice. The hotel is just a 3 minute walk from the Embankment tube station which is very convenient.
The Not So Good —
*Room Service is delicious but every day something was inadvertently left off our delivery (butter and/​or milk for tea and/​or water, etc.). Not a big deal bit just something to note.
*Shower water temperature changes randomly which can be a bit dangerous.
*Check out was the only real issue… the clerk tried to charge us for breakfast (which was included in our rate) and also refuted the spa credit that was allotted to us. Not sure why this was such a problem since I booked our stay directly on the Corinthia’s website and thus everything should have been clearly indicated in their system? Everything was sorted out in the end but I hated leaving on a slightly negative note.
The Bottom Line — I will definitely stay at the Corinthia on my next visit to London. This was definitely an overall fantastic experience and I highly recommend this hotel.

SWANKY SPA REVIEW!
I needed a little treat… some «me time.» Some super posh «me time,» as it turns out. And the Corinthia Hotel Spa was just the ticket. It seemed.
With an extra day of holiday time I hadn’t accounted for (score!), I booked myself a day spa package at the Corinthia Hotel. Very easily done via email, and just called a bit later on to secure with my credit card (24 hour cancelation notice or full charges will be made).
It’s a gorgeous, gorgeous, gleaming spa that is the utmost in tranquil. Almost. :) (See below). Enter through the hotel, take the reception elevator to the mezzanine and follow the signs. Bring swimwear or gymwear depending on your desires and items to shower, etc (they do have the basics and a hairdryer).
I was able to show up anytime after 10am even though my services did not begin until noon. I really should’ve gotten in gear earlier to enjoy the thermal floors and pools before my session but was running late and just in time to slip into a robe and head in for my Balinese massage. It was an OK massage, but I was really hoping for a bit more pressure and when I asked the massage therapist for this, she told me this wasn’t called for in the Balinese method.
Well, Ok. I may have misunderstood… but I sort of want to get out of this massage what I want to get out of it. No hard feelings, but I just left feeling a bit «meh» about the massage, and was in great need of a therapeutic rubdown. Notes for future. Also, there was construction going on during my session and even though it stopped about halfway through… at this price point, WOW. No construction noise should be heard while getting a massage. Not the girl’s fault, but definitely an oversight that should’ve been addressed.
I felt a bit the same about the facial. No steam. It all felt a little «basic» for the price point. No extractions. Just a little average and not yielding any results that were tangible.
The nails (pedicure plus shellac manicure) were great! The shining star of the package (I added the manicure on, though).
Also the same girl did all of my services, which is totally fine and she was very sweet (but had a nasty cough)…but can you really be great at massage, facials AND nails? Maybe some, but i felt the massage and facial were not her strong suit, but the nails definitely were.
Also included a spa lunch, which was quite nice but the area it was served in was a bit awkward (right next to reception). Just felt a bit off.
Overall, it was a lovely afternoon… but when I really dissect the service quality, construction interruption, and price point I just can’t do more than an AOK 3-​stars.
*closest tube stop: Embankment.

5 Sterne für Service, Sauberkeit, Freundlichkeit, Räumlichkeiten, Größe der Zimmer + Bad ALLES TOP!
Einziger Haken: Keine Klobürste auf dem Klo, aber das kenn ich schon von anderen 5 Sterne Hotels

THE swankiest hotel this little lady has ever stayed in.
We recently visited London over the US Labor Day holiday, and had the pleasure of staying at the Corinthia. I was able to get a significantly reduced corporate rate, which is the only reason we could stay here (see other reviews for price quotes). The hotel guarantees you a room upon check-​in, no matter what time you arrive. We arrived at 9:00AM after a tiring transatlantic flight. As promised, rooms were ready for us when we checked in. My in-​laws room was upgraded. Ours, on the other hand, was tiny! Looking at the fire escape map on the door, it looked like we had the smallest room on the floor. We asked if it were possible to move to another larger room, and they honored our request when the next room became available.
The hotel is beautiful, from the stunning lobby chandelier to the tasteful room décor. MY favorite room features are the 1) heated marble floors and 2) the rainfall showerheads.
Each night of our stay, we enjoyed drinks at the Bassoon Bar. One server in particular greeted us each night and remembered our drink orders. When my mother-​in-​law expressed how much she loved the spicy rice cracker snacks (served on each table), the server consulted with her colleagues and found a store nearby that sold them. That’s just one example of the superior service at the hotel.
I also had the pleasure of using the fitness center and spa. All the equipment in the fitness center is brand new, and the facility is very clean. The spa was a bit busy on the evening I went, but towards closing time it died down a bit. My husband and I were able to enjoy the hydrotherapy circuit, and it relaxed us before an exciting night ahead.
We plan to return to London regularly, and we defintely plan on staying at the Corinthia during our return visits. Highly recommended!

This is a relatively new luxury hotel in central london which, if you can afford it, is stunning. There are bright art deco murals, beautiful seating and just wonderful chandeliers done is a modernist way. You’re first greeted by a vast table of lilies then directly behind, a capacious atrium finished with an astounding chandelier of small orbs arranged in a sphere.
This place is almost an art gallery in itself and all I can say is thank god I wasn’t paying for it! A night here apparently costs £400−500 a night. I was invited to dinner here and afterwards we looked in one of the rooms; it was beautiful huge and plush. The bathrooms have waterfalls and the baths have TVs. The spa treatments alone would make you thank god that the company would pay, there was one total body rejuvenation for £7.5k!
Dinner at their Northall restaurant was amazing, we started off with drinks and the whole evening came to around to a surprisingly «low» £100 per head. I had the dressed crab with fresh mayonnaise as a starter and then a perfectly rare fillet steak with pepper sauce and mushrooms. Nothing out of the ordinary but great well cooked good food. I forget the wine but the appetiser cocktail was a very subtle elderflower and vodka mix. Worth getting!
The restaurant also has a sunday 3 course offer including a glass of champagne for £35 and a lunchtime offer for £25. Something to know as I’d imagine this being a fine place for a sunday treat.
If there was an option for 4.5 stars it would get it as, if I was paying, I would say it was too expensive for what it is. That said, if you have the money or you want to seriously impress a client then this place just has the wow factor.
Now I just need to work on being a millionaire so I can live here.

Stunning.
