A Review Of London’s Five-Star Boutique Hotel, The Arch London

Charm, character and elegance – come and find out why The Arch London is worth every single one of its five stars.

Our stay at The Arch London was part of a very special 24-hours. As we’d been so busy travelling in May, Macca and I had booked a date in August to belatedly celebrate his birthday. It was to be a day of surprises for him… but even this surprise day had a few twists!

He packed an overnight bag, and at 11am I revealed he was to solve a series of clues throughout the day to discover where he’d be going. Consider this a personal treasure hunt! The first clue was a postcode for an escape room. The second to a dim sum restaurant. The third to a mini golf experience. And then there was the fourth clue. He solved the riddles and was left with the postcode W1H 7FD. He knew we were heading to Marble Arch, but had no idea what was in store for him next.

We wandered up Great Cumberland Place, passing Georgian townhouses and hotels, and arrived at The Arch London. As we were welcomed by the doorman, I clocked Macca’s grin. What a birthday this was turning out to be!

The Arch London is a five-star boutique hotel in the heart of London. It’s moments from Oxford Street (perfect for shopaholics) and not far from London’s top restaurants and tourist attractions. It’s a lovely contrast to the vast, big name hotels on Park Lane, providing a more intimate and personal experience.
