Stepping into LUXURY and GLAMOUR - WOW

What can I say, it was my 50th Birthday and I wanted to do something special. I never find myself disappointed in London, its both mine and my partners favourite City in the world. We arrived at the Kimpton and both got the wow factor the minute we took the steps up into the beautiful iconic building. I was absolutely blown away by the architectural beauty within and if you are staying you have to go and find Lucky George. We only stayed one night but it was a night that I will never ever forget, Fitz's bar, cocktails and ambience. This vehicle has it all, step into this wonder and don't leave. I felt like I had stepped back in time and was surrounded by class. 5 HUGE STARS from me and a BIG thank you.
