The Radisson Edwardian New Providence Wharf

Advantages: Stunning hotel, big rooms, security is good
Disadvantages: Room Service and Reception staff don't care!

...The Radisson Edwardian New Providence Wharf is a luxury 4 star hotel. I stayed in this hotel just 2 weeks ago for one night at a price of £150 - I had this on Last Minute.Com as a Top Secret Hotel. I chose this hotel due to the close location to the O2. The location is spot on with fantastic views, little did I know that between the hotel and the O2 is a river! This meant 2 tube rides to get to the O2. The hotel is very glamouros, clean and has good security. Check in is at 2pm, I arrived at 1:55 and they wouldn't allow me to check in - bit mean I thought! Check out is at 11am. They did take my luggage from me while I sat in reception until 2pm. The rooms are very modern with a bathroom that has a shower and a nice deep bath. You have a flat screen tv, access to the internet (you have to pay) and a CD player, alarm...

Review of Radisson Edwardian Sussex Hotel, London

Radisson Edwardian Marlborough, Bloomsbury, London

Advantages: Elegant, affordable luxury hotel
Disadvantages: Only one...missing the usual range of toiletries

...We loved this hotel, ideally located for everything you'd need for a weekend visit to London. On the doorstep you have museums (we visited the British Museum to look at all the plunder of the Empire), theatres, shops (Oxford St), and all manner of touristy distractions! The hotel itself was beautiful, very elegant and tastefully decorated, with a marble lobby and very attractive artworks. As you move away form the lobby, the decor is less impressive, but still very nicely done in the Edwardian style. Our room was small but perfectly formed, with a large bed, dressing table, double wardrobe, tea and coffee facilities, mini bar and TV. An iron andironing board are provided, along with meanding kit and trouser press, all the things you'd expect. The room was very clean and the sheets a luxurious satin-cotton. Lovely...

Edwardian Extravagance

Advantages: Lovely Edwardian building. Lush interior. Nice atmosphere
Disadvantages: Not many

...The Vines in Lime Street is one of Liverpool's most famous pubs. It is known locally as the "big house". It is housed in what can best be described as an exuberant Edwardian building and it's interior is just as extravagant. You will be taken aback with all the rich mahogany,the marble, the cut glass, the plaster putti the beaten copper and the sumptous carving of this fine hostelry. Bill Bryson the American travel writer visited The Vines during his stay in Liverpool and he comments ".it was a very fine pub with wood panelling by some Grinling Gibbons wannabe and a plaster ceiling even more ornate than the panelling." He continues, "... so nice was The Vines that I drank two more pints". It was the sort of place that the shipping tycoons and wealthy merchants frequented and it oozes characterand is a must see pub if you are...

Review of The Vines

Simply Perfect

Advantages: Great service, ideal location, modern rooms with lots of fab features
Disadvantages: The prices.

...As another of my friends prepares to tie the know another hen night involved a hotel reservation to be made in central Manchester. As there were no rooms left where the actual hens were staying in, my friend and I tried to get the best rate for a hotel not too far away. As I got a fantastic rate for the Radisson Edwardian I made my reservation there. I made my reservation over the phone directly with the hotel to secure my rate of £75 for the room for the night, however reservations can be made on their website www.radissonedwardian.com/manchester. *~*Locating the Hotel*~* The hotel is easy to miss on busy Peter Street as the entrance is set away from the pavement; I was armed with maps to ensure that I didn't end up at the wrong location. I arrived into Manchester Piccadilly after costing up driving and parking it was cheaper...

Review of Radisson Edwardian Sussex Hotel, London

Excellent, witty Edwardian Murder Mystery!

Advantages: fantastic characters and writing
Disadvantages: none at all for me

...people to have both written for and acted in "Doctor Who". So, on to Lucifer Box and his wonderfully absurd story. Lucifer, to most of the Edwardian society in which this story is set, is a painter, albeit one who loves men and women alike ("I am not adverse to a pretty face and a pretty rump, whether they be man's or woman's") but his secret life sees him as a secret agent, an assassin - much like James Bond, he is hired to kill for HMG - minus the fancy gadgets but plus much more wit, naughtiness and intelligence! This brings us to his latest assignment. Box is told of the murder of a member of the diplomatic service, a gentleman called Jocelyn Poop. The plot is thickened dramatically when two prominent scientists die shortly afterwards which leads Box and his boss to connect the dots. Before Box is dispatched to Naples to get to...

Review of The Vesuvius Club - Mark Gatiss

Edwardian Bliss

Advantages: Stunning scenery
Disadvantages: Can get a tad bleak in the winter time

...dripping in Edwardian character. Dark oak mixed with a hundred years? of cigar smoke, hung about with period paintings of past owners and their sporting pursuits. The rod & gun room is situated to your left adjacent to the comfortable bar while ahead of you is the quaint little reception desk where guests sign a real guest book, much as they must have done for generations. The office is flanked by a superb pair of curving staircases, which creak merrily underfoot as they lead you up to the great hall. Through the huge double entrance doors you enter a warm inviting world of comfy chintz armchairs, and massive fireplaces. Look up to be greeted by a simply huge chandelier surrounded by a balcony off which most of the more expensive and well-appointed rooms are situated. The Hall is just large enough to be grand and just small enough to...

Review of Northumberland (England)

A great city hotel - shame about the size

Advantages: A wonderful hotel in a good location
Disadvantages: rooms are on the small side

...I am a huge fan of the Radisson SAS & Radisson Edwardian brand. I do like to try different hotels and when visiting London overnight, by far my favourite is Radisson Mayfair. On this particular visit however, I opted to try a different chocolate from the box so to speak... *the hotel* the selection of this hotel was not difficult. As mentioned above, I have a huge liking of all things Radisson and an especially soft spot for boutique hotels. As this establishment fits into both of those criteria and located in my favourite area of my favourite city, surely we were onto a winner? The Mountbatten is named after Lord Mountbatten, the famous favourite uncle of Prince Charles and actually includes memorabilia from Lord Mountbatten's family home. As soon as you arrive at the four star hotel, a concierge is promptly waiting to greet...

SERVICE WITH A SMILE

Advantages: AFFORDABLE LUXURY...
Disadvantages: ...ONLY STAYED FOR ONE NIGHT :(

...This is a review of The Radisson Edwardian Marlborough Hotel - an immaculate 4 star hotel situated in the Bloomsbury section of London. The world famous British Museum is but a hop, skip and a jump away (ok, maybe a 5 minute walk is more appropriate, but it?s very close by!) A stunning black exterior and chic interior certainly indicate an impressive hotel indeed and as you enter, a magnificent marbled lobby greets you... The reception staff and concierge are very friendly, well trained and courteous (always a bonus I find!). Christos and I received excellent service during our stay at the hotel (albeit for one night only!) The room we had was beautifully decorated with traditional English décor and elegant furnishings. As well as a hairdryer and a trouser press, there was also an ironing board, an iron, tea...
