As a general car rental places in detroit mi rule, we are not that keen on boutique hotels. Many of the newer ones are more about looks than comfort or service, and a lot of the older ones need a damn good cleaning to bring them up to even habitable standards, never mind the star rating that they think they deserve. Star ratings have never worked for us anyway, so whether it s the Four Seasons or a one-off property that we ve never heard of, the rules of a clean room, comfortable bed, freshly squeezed orange juice and a General Manager who "gets it," always car rental places in detroit mi apply. London is full of boutique hotels, some of them really great, like everything new and fresh by Kit Kemp at Firmdale, and others that are simply car rental places in detroit mi dreadful, and smell as though something died in them a long time ago..!
One boutique hotel that stands out from the crowd and always has, is The Stafford Hotel. Like a lot of people I found it by accident, but once found and appreciated for what it is, I have been a guest and a big supporter ever since. The location for me, is one of the best in London. Just off Piccadilly and behind the Ritz on a dead-end street that no one will ever find unless car rental places in detroit mi they already know it, this 18th Century house, stables car rental places in detroit mi and courtyard has been a hotel for 100 years. During WWII it was home to US and Canadian airforce officers, and the 400 year old wine cellars were used as their bomb shelter during the Blitz. Since then it s become the in-town home of choice for everyone who is someone on the Forbes 400 list, the pub of choice for various members of the British Royal Family who live down the street, and the perfect place to hide out for anyone who doesn t want to be seen.
The style here is country house warm and welcoming meets London s West End, and it works. 105 rooms and suites are located car rental places in detroit mi in three distinctly different areas of the hotel, each room unique in style and size, but all of them very comfortable with the best mattresses in town. We don t know who makes them, but we guarantee that you ll sleep very well here. Choose the Main House for traditional London style, the Carriage House for beamed ceilings, four poster beds and country comes to town, and The Mews for contemporary style and comfort. Favorites include the Master Suites in the Main House, and anything in The Mews. Downstairs, walk to The Wolseley for breakfast, spend the day shopping on Bond Street, Jermyn Street and Piccadilly, and then get back to the American Bar around 5.00pm, put your feet up, and ask Ben to make you a Gin Tonic. This is London at its most discreet best..!
GBB Says: The Stafford is a unique find in a unique location, and that makes it the perfect car rental places in detroit mi hotel for anyone who wants to feel at home, and come and go as they please without being bothered by anyone..!
