The 42-room upscale Marble Arch by Montcalm is the smaller sister
property of the luxurious Montcalm Hotel located across the street.
Housed in a small townhouse, the modern boutique hotel offers an equally luxurious
experience, though at slightly lower rates and with fewer in-house amenities
(guests can use the Montcalm’s spa, fitness center, pool, and
restaurants). The contemporary rooms are small but elegantly appointed with scent machines and large flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi, bottled water, and fruit. Breakfast, served in a pleasant sunlit dining room, is available for an additional fee. The central location is close
to the tube station and is a short walk to Oxford Street, though there are many
other hotels in the area and it’s worth comparing rates.
Scene
Smaller sister property of the luxurious Montcalm Hotel across the street
The sister property of the five-pearl Montcalm London Marble Arch hotel located across the street, the Marble Arch by Montcalm is an equally elegant hotel, though smaller and with fewer in-house facilities, which are
shared with the Montcalm. Housed in a small town house, the hotel offers sleek interiors and a central location that attracts tourists
wishing to shop and sightsee. After passing through a glass-lined hallway with
a vaulted ceiling, guests are greeted at a marble front desk. A wooden
staircase, with a rainfall chandelier cascading down its center, spirals up to the rooms. Public spaces are limited to a small but pleasant breakfast room, with plenty of curved armchairs around small dark wood tables. An
atrium-like extension with a glass roof fills the space with lots of natural
light, and fresh flowers scattered about provide an elegant touch.
Location
Central location near the Marble Arch and Oxford Street
The hotel is centrally located on a busy street that runs
directly from the Marble Arch, and is surrounded by several other hotels and
private apartment buildings. The convenient location is well serviced by public
transportation, and is a three-minute walk from the Marble Arch Underground
station, as well as several buses. There are many sights within walking
distance of the hotel, including Hyde Park, which is three blocks away, as
well as the Sherlock Holmes Museum and Madame Tussauds, which are about a
15-minute walk from the hotel. Other popular sights, such as Big Ben and Buckingham Palace, can be reached in less than 20 minutes via public transportation. The area is
also a shopper’s paradise, with the famed Oxford Street three blocks away, and
Regent Street and Bond Street within walking distance as well.
Rooms
Small but elegant, modern rooms with high-end details
Rooms, much like the rest of the hotel, feature elegant, contemporary
decor, with modern furniture that includes plush beds topped in
high-quality bedding and framed in large beige headboards, and sleek, black work desks and matching nightstands. Rooms are small but make
efficient use of space and mirrors for an enlarging effect. Be aware, though, that some rooms lack windows. Larger rooms have comfortable
sitting areas. Rooms are outfitted with large
flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, scent machines with a choice of
five fragrances, tea- and coffee-making facilities, minibars stocked with a good selection of snacks and drinks, and free Wi-Fi. Free fruit and bottled water are also provided. Sleek, modern bathrooms are tiled in colors of slate and black, and are equipped with shower/tub combos with rainfall showerheads.
Club Rooms come with free access to the Club Lounge in the Montcalm London Marble Arch across the street.
Features
Breakfast room and free Wi-Fi, plus shared facilities with sister hotel, including spa, pool, fitness center, and two restaurants
The hotel has a small dining room that’s open in the
mornings for breakfast and serves a full English as well as continental

restaurant, the hotel shares many facilities with its sister property, the
Montcalm London Marble Arch, across the street -- it has two restaurants as well as a stylish Champagne bar. Twenty-four hour room
service is also available. Other amenities at the sister property that are open to guests here include a spa with sauna, steam room, and swimming
pool, as well as a fitness center. There are also several meeting rooms and
event spaces that can accommodate up to 550 people.
