Scene
Modern, masculine clubhouse with cigar lounge
Housed in a converted Edwardian building, No. Ten Manchester
has an upscale, masculine look that’s stylish, not stuffy. A small lobby with
dark damask wallpaper, red velvet chairs, and modern chandeliers sets a clubby,
business-traveler-friendly tone that’s also present in the hotel's Dieci Restaurant and the
cigar lounge, which is decorated with leather chairs, lacquered tables, and
paintings of famous men (Jack Nicholson, Mark Twain, and Alfred Hitchcock to
name a few) puffing away on stogies.
Location
On a residential street in Marylebone, a short walk to Regent’s Park, the Sherlock Holmes Museum, and the tube
Aristocratic Marylebone’s High Street is one of the city’s
top spots for dining and shopping, and it's just five minutes on foot from the
hotel. No. Ten Manchester is also a nine-minute walk to the Sherlock Holmes Museum
on Baker Street, and 10 minutes on foot to bucolic Regent’s Park, originally a hunting
ground for Henry VIII. It’s also a seven-minute walk to the Baker Street tube
station, allowing for easy connection to major sites across the city. Big Ben is 15 minutes away by tube, and Buckingham Palace is about 21 minutes. Reaching Heathrow Airport takes 35-minutes via cab.
Rooms
Handsome and contemporary rooms with furnished courtyards in some
The 44 rooms at No. Ten Manchester are decorated in a soothing, classic palette of beige, brown, and gray, with bespoke furniture by British designer Christopher Guy. Design-conscious details like tufted headboards, Lucite lamps, and gilded wallpaper abound. Full Sky TV packages can be viewed on flat-screen TVs, and all rooms have minibars, safes, and free Wi-Fi. Larger rooms include espresso coffee- and tea-makers. Bathrooms feature rain showers -- plus separate soaking tubs in suites -- stocked with bath products by T London, plush robes, and slippers. Smoking is permitted in Courtyard Rooms’ private terraces, decorated to look like the outdoors thanks to woodland wallpaper.
Features
Upmarket Italian restaurant and one of London’s best cigar bars
Modern Italian restaurant Dieci provides breakfast, lunch,
and dinner, plus afternoon tea where a custom blend by London’s Tea Palace is
served alongside tramezzini
sandwiches, homemade scones, and Italian pastries. Room service is also available 24 hours a day. The den-like cigar lounge offers hand-rolled Havana cigars in their indoor tasting room decorated
with original portraits of famous men like Al Pacino, Steve McQueen, and Dennis
Hopper puffing away on cigars. In-room spa treatments can be arranged, but there's no on-site spa. Concierge service is available, and Wi-FI and newspapers are free.
