The Melia White House Hotel in London is a
refined retreat within walking distance of the subway and quietly
rests one street from the Georgian splendors of Regent's Park.
Built in 1936 as an apartment house, the hotel is within walking
distance of the famous Oxford Street shopping. The West End
theater district, known for its fashionable shops, lies one
kilometer away. Occupying a quiet residential area known as
Marylebone. Sandwiched between several main roads, Marylebone
offers a village atmosphere and charming High Street, which is
home to excellent restaurants and specialty shops. This street
will also take guests to Madame Tussaud's wax museum, located
four streets from the hotel.
The hotel is also one half mile from Grand Union Canal, which
runs just north of London's center. A walk along the canal's
picturesque path escapes the tourist trail and show cases many
famous districts, including Islington, Camden Town and Little
Venice.
The hotel's chic, marble lobby boasts an eclectic decor, with a
contemporary black granite reception desk and range of gilt
edged, Rococo style cabinets and tables. The hotel also features
an informal, Mediterranean style restaurant, along with a more
formal, evening only dining room. Other on site amenities include
a fitness center with saunas and a business center with high
speed Internet access.
The Melia White House Hotel, London, occupies an unusual, star
shaped property and features five wings of 582 guest rooms and
112 private apartments that mix contemporary and classical
elements, including brass bedside reading lights, black and gilt
colored molding and Doric column lamps. All guest rooms include
mini bars, direct dial telephones with voice mail, cable
television, high speed Internet access, in room safes, coffee
makers and trouser presses.
