Scene

Charming, cozy boutique hotel with traditional British interiors

Housed in an old Victorian town house, the Leonard Hotel makes a
convenient base for tourists seeking a central location within walking distance
of some of London's major sights, and lots of shopping. The traditional interiors are
quintessentially English and cozy -- think antique furnishings, patterned
carpets, gilt-framed mirrors, and plush curtains framing large windows. The
lobby is an atmospheric space cloaked in warm coral, crimson, and gold hues
with a lovely fireplace flanked by patterned couches and striped armchairs. Oil
paintings of horses and dogs, as well as Union Jack accent pillows, accentuate
the classically British vibe. The hotel’s restaurant and bar has an equally charming
and cozy, yet refined and elegant, vibe, with red velvet back chairs surrounding
small round tables and a collection of paintings and artwork adorning the
salon-style wall. The hotel attracts mainly tourists who want to sightsee and
shop, as the property is ideally located for both. Larger apartments with
kitchens are popular with families and groups, and with travelers on extended stays.

Location

Centrally located within a block of Oxford Street and the Marble Arch tube station

The hotel is conveniently situated in central London near
several sights in an area that teems with shopping, restaurants, and bars. The
central location mainly attracts tourists who want to sightsee and shop, as
many attractions, such as the Sherlock Holmes Museum and Madame Tussauds, are within walking distance, or easily
reached via the Underground -- the Marble Arch station is a block from the property. Popular sights such as Big Ben and Buckingham Palace
can be reached in less than 20 minutes via public transportation. The area is
also a shopper’s paradise, with Oxford Street a block away, and
Regent Street and Bond Street nearby. The lovely green oasis of Hyde Park is a block away.

Rooms

Traditionally decorated rooms range in size from Single Rooms to Two-Bedroom Apartment Suites

The hotel has a variety of room and suites available, including Single Rooms, Classic Double Rooms, One-Bedroom Suites, and Two-Bedroom Apartment Suites. Rooms
are individually designed in a mix of traditional and contemporary decor
(though some are a bit dated), with antique-style furnishings and old-world
details like thick, patterned curtains, chinoiserie lamps, and subtle damask
wallpaper. Some rooms are tiny, such the Single Rooms that manage
to cram a miniature desk area next to the bed, though even these make efficient,
if cramped, use of space. Suites and apartments offer a lot more square footage, and some have separate living rooms as well as small kitchenettes or full kitchens. All rooms
have flat-screen TVs, DVD players, minibars, iPod docks, tea- and coffee-making
facilities, as well as free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms also range in decor and size; some
have lovely patterned wallpaper accent walls, others are simply tiled in light
colors and quite small in size. They are outfitted with walk-in showers or
shower/tub combos, fluffy bathrobes, and Elemis toiletries.

Features

Restaurant and bar serving traditional British fare; conference and event facilities, plus free Wi-Fi throughout

The hotel’s Seymour’s Restaurant and bar serves traditional
British cuisine for breakfast (not included in room rate), lunch, and dinner,
as well as afternoon tea. Twenty-four hour room service is available. The hotel also has
event space and conference facilities, and has free Wi-Fi throughout. Guests
flying in or out of London can arrange for airport transfers (at an added fee),
and chauffeur service is also available.
