The Corinthians

The Corinthia!

At £800 per night, on the night we stayed, and £500 if you're truly lucky, this 5* corporate hotel leaves you with little change in your pocket.

That said, I think I'd pay £500 for the breakfast alone...

 The fruit was the nicest of any I've tasted anywhere - so sweet and fresh and cold and delicious!


 And who knew you could make a poached egg look like a pair of pearls on a plate! (With yellow mush)

And yes, I'm ashamed (and proud) to say, I did eat everything in each picture above.. :o

He seemed to enjoy it too......

Needless to say, we didn't need lunch.

Now back to the room itself... We were greeted with a lovely 'Happy Birthday' cake for the birthday boy:

The decor was minimalistic and neutral; tailored perfectly to the tastes of a luxury business traveller more than the weekend galavanters....


But then the bathroom - that was something else. Complete with a walk in marble rainfall shower, a separate toilet, two marble sinks, ESPA bath salts and toiletries...


 It also had a very comfortable bath, and incase you got bored in your lavish marble bath, there was a flat screen waterproof TV!


The spa - which we were too busy enjoying to take pictures of - was incredible. It has been voted the #1 spa in London. With an ice-fountain, a fire pit, two pools, a Jacuzzi, steam room, fresh towels everywhere and lemon water; I'm not surprised really.

All in all, a very luxurious, clean, and pampered stay; without too much over-attention or fuss. Great quality materials and furnishings in the rooms, and an exquisite attention to detail. We didn't want for one mod-con while at The Corinthia that wasn't already thought of!

And oh my... the beds were so comfy, it made you want to jump for joy in the morning!!
