Hotel Review: The Beaumont, London

It's tucked away off busy Oxford Street on leafy Brown Hart Gardens, a three-minute walk from Bond Street station. You're perfectly located to hit Mayfair's boutiques and galleries, as well as the high street shops of Oxford Street. Head to Mercato Mayfair, a bustling street-food hall set in a former church that's a great spot for an informal bite - it's on the same block as the hotel.

By car: the hotel is four hours from Manchester and 2 and a half hours from Bristol. Paid parking from £54 per day.

By train: Bond Street tube is three minutes' walk away; London Marylebone is a 10-minute taxi ride. Book trains to London.

The hotel embodies old-school charm evocative of The Great Gatsby, with cherrywood panelling, polished black and white chequerboard floors, and a bold and eclectic range of early 20th century artworks. There are delightful Art Deco touches here and there: elegant walnut framed sofas, playful fabrics, and fun black and white photographs of the glittery world of the 1920s. It's fun and sophisticated, with soothing jazz-age tunes in the background creating a lively, laidback vibe.

Staff are utterly charming - genuinely friendly, welcoming and down to earth, providing polite, faultless service. Facilities are tucked away on the lower ground floor, with a meeting/events room, gym (complete with Peloton bike) and lovely little Spa.

The Beaumont hits the nail on the head with its three food and drink establishments. Gatsby's Room offers all-day dining, with a popular British Afternoon Tea with a light American influence, accompanied by live piano music. The Colony Grill is the hotel's main restaurant, serving international cuisine with American influences; grilled meats are the speciality, with cuts matured in the restaurant's own salt chamber for a minimum of 42 days.

The Colony Grill: New York-style grill serving lobster and steaks. Open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Mains from £29.

Le Magritte: 1920s style cocktail bar.
