The Metropolitan, London, is among the capital's most enduring design phenomena – a subtle balance that strips back the non-essential elements of a traditional English hotel to create something cool yet accessible, sophisticated and warm.
The hotel has a vibrant Park Lane location, combining cosseting service with a contemporary mindset. Conceived by era-defining names in music, cuisine and interior design, it is for travellers who seek to be part of the energy that defines London’s uniquely electrifying spirit.
On the borders of Mayfair and Knightsbridge, the Metropolitan is a landmark address for London
Wherever you come from, the Metropolitan's location is easily reached—an unmissable hotel in an unmissable capital. We are positioned on one of the most significant thoroughfares in London – Park Lane, where it meets with the landmark Hyde Park Corner.
Mayfair lies east of the hotel, Hyde Park to its west. Knightsbridge and Piccadilly, where Green Park tube is located, are five-minute walks. Heathrow airport is a 45-minute drive, or 15 minutes by train. The Gatwick Express operates from nearby Victoria Station.
Concierge can also arrange for airport transfers and private drivers
Immerse yourself in London’s energy, enjoying the Met Bar’s music and Nobu’s precision cuisine
As with all COMO Hotels and Resorts, cuisine is a key element of the experience. At the Metropolitan London, Executive Chef Mark Edwards heads up one of the most exciting kitchens in the capital, Nobu, serving an original mix of Peruvian-Japanese cuisine.
The Met Bar remains a key meeting place by day and night for the city’s movers and shakers. Other casual environments for a light bite over fine organic teas and rich Italian coffees include the Met’s serene, light-filled lobby and glass-roofed White Room.
