Welcome to an absolutely glorious day here in London.
Behind me is the Landmark Hotel,
one of the most prestigious and most beautiful hotels in London.
And I'm really privileged to be staying here for the next two nights.
So I thought I'd do a hotel review
So the decorations already up for Christmas.
As you would expect.
Incredible staircase.
Look up these stairs is the Winter Garden restaurant,
and it's set in this most amazing atrium right in the centre of the hotel.
This is truly breath taking.
Have a look at this.
There's a tree. Wow. Just look at that.
It really is spectacular, isn't it?
Some of the rooms actually look down onto this courtyard.
Obviously, the other rooms are on the outer wall of a hotel
overlooking the roads.
Here's another incredible sweeping staircase.
Let's see what's up here.
The mezzanine level.
There's the Winter Restaurant from up above.
Looks amazing, doesn't that?
This boutique has got James Bond memorabilia.
I don't ever remember James Bond staying at the Landmark, though.
Seems a shame to go up in the lift on
the staircase is just so magnificent.
Look at these landings
and the artwork.
And here is the room.
Welcome to my home for the next two days.
And it's a gorgeous room.
Looks like I've been upgraded to
an executive room, maybe even a mini suite.
I'm not quite sure exactly what they call them.
Let's have a close look round.
Nice comfy sofa. Oh.
Oh that’s lovely.
Looks like some nice welcome message here.
Dear Mr. Edwards, a warm welcome back to the Landmark Hotel.
One of the things I love about this place is the always remember
that you're a repeat guest, even if you only come once a year.
Fruit on the table.
More artwork.
They do like their lamps at the Landmark.
And look at that bed.
King size, no doubt.
And all those pillows and cushions.
The bed looks so nice.
I don't really want to throw myself back onto it, but it's nice and bouncy
and comfy.
Plenty of storage space.
There are almost as many curtains on the windows
as there are cushions on the bed and out the window.
Oh, a view right across to Marylebone Station.
And desk and chair.
Well, this is actually a work trip.
I do have some work to do whilst I'm here, so the desk is absolutely ideal.
The attention to detail is sometimes a bit over the top.
So I've got a huge TV and look, the remote control
comes in its own little leather pouch.
How cool is that?
This is pretty corny as well. Wardrobe.
When you open the door,
the light goes on.
Robes for later.
And up the stairs into an astonishing
marble bathroom.
An echoey marble bathroom.
Well this bathroom's ridiculous.
Okay, so we've got
toilets in his own cubicle, then we've got
a shower cubicle,
and as well as the big bath tub
shower mirror.
That's a little scary.
Twin Washbasins.
An absolute plethora of smelly stuff.
Shampoo,
conditioner, body lotion, shower gel.
I think I'm sorted.
All right, let's go and explore the rest of the hotel.
The lifts are pretty impressive as well.
Look at this. Wood panelling.
Down this other elegant staircase.
We have the Grand Central Bar and restaurant
and a big black horse
and the spa,
which, unfortunately, I haven't got time
to try.
This plaque details the history of the Landmark Hotel.
Actually, I feel
like a drink, so let's try out the mirror bar.
Here we go.
I really enjoyed that glass of red.
I'm back in the room now.
And of course what they've done whilst they've been out
is they've turned the room down.
It's one of those
great things that posh hotels do, which is actually quite pointless.
But actually I kind of like it.
They've closed the curtains, got rid of all those cushions
and peeled back the sheets and slippers
by the side of the bed ready for me to slip into.
So I think I'm safe to do this now.
Oh, good morning.
There's one last thing I want to show you about the Landmark Hotel experience.
That is the Landmark legendary room service breakfast.
Just take a look at this.
Well, that breakfast was absolutely delicious.
I better get going.
I've got a conference speech to make today and in the evening tonight.
I'm co-hosting an awards dinner right here at the Landmark Hotel.
