The hype
Travelers rave about the 'Conscious Luxury' design and incredible soundproofing, but many find the breakfast overpriced and service occasionally stiff.
The BoTree - Preferred Hotels and Resorts
$550-800/ nuit
Réservez si You want the glossy, high-energy vibe of a W Hotel but with better service and a killer location where Marylebone village meets Mayfair polish.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- Unbeatable location: 30 seconds from Bond Street station yet tucked on a quieter lane
- LAVO's scene-y Italian dining that draws a local fashion crowd
- Soundproofing is witchcraft-level good for central London
En bref : A stunning, floral-drenched newcomer that charges five-star prices while still figuring out if it wants to be a party hotel or a sanctuary.
Évalué par @smtravels.x: I felt like a celebrity staying here. The design is bold and colorful, and having LAVO right downstairs meant incredible Italian food was just an elevator ride away. Plus, the private cinema room is a total game-changer for a rainy London night.
Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit
Reality check
The 'entrance through the bathroom' layout in some Deluxe rooms is a polarizing design choice that confuses guests.
- You collect Hilton Honors points (it just joined the Curio Collection in Dec 2025)
- You want to be within stumbling distance of Selfridges and Liberty
- You appreciate Dyson hairdryers and heated bathroom floors
Propreté et entretien
9.3
- Housekeeping: Impeccable. Daily turnover is thorough, though evening turndown can sometimes be missed.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. Grout is pristine (hotel is new), heated floors are a hygienic plus.
- Maintenance: Brand new feel, though some scuffs on hallway walls have been noted by eagle-eyed guests.
- Linens & towels: High quality. Eucalyptus Tencel bedding is soft and cooling.
- Odors & scents: Signature 'Pomelo' scent by Jo Loves permeates the hotel—fresh and citrusy.

Avant de réserver

- Smart casual dinner outfits for LAVO (no shorts/flip-flops)
Génie des chambres

Génie de demande de chambre – copier & coller
“I would prefer a room on a higher floor (5th or above) away from the elevators. Please ensure I am assigned a room layout where the entrance is NOT directly through the bathroom/dressing area if possible.”
FAQ et astuces cachées
Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.
Is there a pool?
No. There is no pool on-site, which is a notable omission for this price point.
Is breakfast included?
Usually no, unless booked in a specific package. It's served at LAVO and costs around £28-£35 per person.
How close is the tube?
Incredibly close. Bond Street station (Elizabeth, Jubilee, Central lines) is literally a 1-minute walk away.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, very. They welcome dogs (up to 15kg) with beds, bowls, and treats for no extra fee.
Is there a gym?
Yes, a 24-hour gym is located on level B1 with cardio machines and free weights.
What is the 'Conscious Luxury' ethos?
It's their branding for sustainability efforts—vegan leather, eucalyptus bedding, and no single-use plastics.
Conseils d'initiés
- ✨
The 'wellness space' is still a future project—don't book expecting a massage.
- ✨
You can smoke on the terrace of the BoTree Suite or Marylebone Suite, but nowhere else.
- ✨
Ask the concierge to book you a table at 'The Meatball' (LAVO's signature dish) even if the app says full.
5 choses à savoir avant de partir
💡The transition from Preferred Hotels to Hilton Curio Collection happened in late 2025—great for points, confusing for old bookings.
💡The 'entrance through the bathroom' layout in some rooms is genuinely weird for non-couples.
💡The 5% service charge on the room rate is a 'hidden' cost that can add £30-£50 per night.
💡There is no spa, which is rare for a 5-star London hotel charging these rates.
💡The Jo Loves Pomelo toiletries are full-sized and smell incredible (and are locked down so you can't steal them).
