Hotel Features.

The distinctive lobby features avant-garde sculpture, a wall of flowing water, and screens behind the reception desk that project modernistic images. Rhodes W1, the hotel's dining venue, is owned by chef and author Gary Rhodes. This cosmopolitan brasserie offers European dishes with a distinctly British influence. Kua Bar provides chic pre- and post-dinner ambience, whereas The Market is a spacious dining venue with five separate kitchens that caters to corporate entertainment. The Cumberland - a Guoman Hotel devotes the property's entire lower level to events, with 26 function rooms located within three zones defined by individual color schemes. The hotel's complimentary, limited-hour fitness facility offers cardiovascular and weight machines, each equipped with personal headsets and television monitors. Guoman Shop The Cumberland offers luxury leather products and high-end jewelry. Clefs d'Or concierge staff assist guests with sightseeing and reservation requests.

Guestrooms.

This eight-story hotel offers 1,019 guestrooms that reflect airy, contemporary design with either bright green and blue, or red and pink color schemes. All rooms boast desks and laptop-compatible, in-room safe. Coffeemakers and refrigerators are included. Beds feature and plexiglass-etched headboards with original designs and are draped with Egyptian cotton sheets. Room amenities include flat-screen televisions, and high-speed wired and wireless Internet access. Bathrooms contain Molton Brown toiletries and heated towel racks.

Expert Tip.

The uniquely crafted guestroom headboards depict five distinct concepts. The original designs include The Horse Headboard that was inspired by the Quadriga sculpture located above London's Wellington Arch. Other designs honor Art Deco style, the Arches, Metalwork Design and the Cumberland's architectural flair.

The Cumberland - a Guoman Hotel Mayfair - Marylebone

A short guide to Mayfair - Marylebone

Famous for its hotels, Mayfair holds London's most expensive homes and, on Bond Street, its most expensive shops. But the tucked-away pubs, restaurants, and shops of atmospheric Shepherd Market offer affordable local colour, too. Sandwiched between several main roads, Marylebone has a village atmosphere and a charming High Street. Nearby attractions include Madame Tussaud's and the Georgian splendours of Regent's Park, including London Zoo.

"not convinced"  by a from ireland

the check in service is appalling. in 50 years visiting london hotels i have never experienced a worse or slower ''check in''' process. this is not my first time to rxperience this at the cumberland. there appears to be plenty of staff and supervisors but not many of them working. it took me at least 15 minutes to check in. not acceptable

"Nothing like the photoes!"  by S from England

We booked the Cumberland on the pretence the room we were going to get was like the photographs on the website. Sadly it wasnt. The designer seemed to be having an 'off day' in the room we stayed in. Also we came in from a day of shopping to find the maid had left the window open all day resulting in the room feeling like the Ice hotel in Sweden rather than a romantic hotel in London. Dont think we'd go back unless we got to choose our room personally

"Lived up to expectations"  by D from Leeds

The Hotel was excellently refurbished with a cool, arty interior and although the rooms were fairly basic, they were clean and had all the essentials you need. The Rhodes Brasserie was also good, though a little expensive.

"Well appointed room"  by F from Wales

Well appointed room. Although not spacious all mod cons were present. I would describe the room as compact but comfortable. I enjoyed my stay.

"'Perfect location'"  by I from Amsterdam

The hotel was good, however the tiles outside of the building (out of the window in the corridor) indicate that this could use a rennovation, lot's were damaged/cracked.

"Modern Hotel"  by N

The hotel was lovely, clean and felt very fresh inside. The room we had was by no means spacious but very comfortable and well fitted. The bathroom was also small but had a big step in power shower - which sold it for me. Located right next door to Marble Arch tube station it was perfect for getting about. We went to see Wicked at the Victoria Apollo which is just a short taxi ride away.

"Big Dissapointment"  by D from ATHENS

I was very disapointed by the conditon of the Hotel. Interesting lobby design, that gives a good impression but when you go up in floors its a mere dissapointment. Rooms are very crammped. I had no heat in my room and the last night the bath lights went out. I think the hotel is so big (1k rooms i think) that they just cant handle it technichly. Only good think is location but there are so many close to Oxford street that i would choose a smaller more personall hotel.
