"I hadn’t had the opportunity to stay in London for over a year and as the Strand Palsce was previously always my first choice I decided to return. I was not disappointed! The welcome as I arrived at the front entrance to my departure the following morning reminded me why this has been my favourite London hotel for a good number of years. I look forward to returning in the hopefully not too distant future."

"We stayed in an executive king room for the weekend for my daughter's 12th birthday. From the moment we arrived we were extremely well looked after by all of the staff and we were very impressed with the hotel, especially the VIP lounge which we had access to due to booking an executive room. As well as this, the hotel provided some lovely birthday gifts for my daughter, which she was very excited to receive when we arrived in the room. Overall we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and we will definitely be back again. Thank you!"
