|| Baglioni Hotel London: A luxurious stay right across the beautiful Hyde Park ||
Baglioni hotel London is a terrific stay, located right next to the well known Hyde Park in London. We visited Baglioni hotel in the December month, during the dazzling Christmas period. All the festive lights and Christmas decorations were spread all over town. For us, this was a true wish to come true, since we both cherished a desire to visit London during Christmas. This was the perfect opportunity to create content and discover London during its most wonderful time of the year!

The concept
Right in the heart of London there is this magnificent stay: The Baglioni Hotel. This hotel is known for its Italian features, such as typical Italian dishes and the pure aromatic espresso's they serve. The hotel interior has an Italian style, which sets them apart as one of the most luxurious 5-star hotels in London. Spoil yourself by enjoying some spare time in their spa to relax your body and mind or if you have some energy left: challenge yourself by following your fitness routine in their gym.
The rooms
When you are staying in Baglioni hotel London, you will be checking in, in one of their beautiful suites. Their bed is definitely a huge highlight of the room, since it was incredibly soft and had such a soothing fragrance. Our room had a beautiful overlooking view of Hyde Park London. We slept on the second floor and always enjoyed our view during the time we have stayed here. The suite we stayed in was really spacious and had such a great division. However, we didn't like the amount of mirrors in the bathroom. It's a bathroom that is covered in mirrors. Hence, this is a taste in style, that we didn't find necessary in a bathroom. Overall, our experience the temperature of the room also was perfect, since it was not too cold or too hot.
The food
Their breakfast was definitely outstanding. We ordered several sweet pastries, croissants and breads. We were surprised to also receive some delicious French toast and fresh fruits. If you like a more savoury breakfast than this place will definitely lift up to your standards. When you are staying here we definitely recommend to enjoy their room service. Also, they have the most delicious macarons ever! So so so tasty!
Unfortunately, we were not that fond of their dinner options. As we are huge lovers of the Italian cuisine, this didn't live up to our usual standards. We have had the most amazing dining experiences in many Italian restaurants, in different countries and tasted various Italian dishes. Therefore, it is safe to say that we are experienced in tasting good food and that the Italian cuisine absolutely is our favorite kitchen. This is why we were a little surprised that the dishes we tried didn't have the same trusted true Italian taste. However, if you are a person that isn't a fan of a lot of herbs in their food, than this will be a delight for you. We also quite not admire raw meat, except for carpaccio, but for those who are, within this menu there are more than enough options with raw meats or fish!
The service
The Baglioni hotel London team could use some more service management, that's why we gave them proper feedback and hope they will receive their guests in a different way in the future. Every hotel is different and of course has a significant style in the way they treat their guests. However, when emergencies occur, such as a water leak in the room it is absolutely important to make a quick move towards this. The hotel staff has potential for improvement and we would love to see them thrive in the near future.
Furthermore, they offer multiple services, such as the following:
Private parking - with a fee of 60 pounds per day
Roomservice
Wellness - with an additional fee
Massages - with an additional fee
Laundry service - with an additional fee
Tickets for public transport - with an additional fee
