The Cumberland Hotel London is substantial in size; it has more than 1,000 rooms, six restaurants and bars, one of which is the flagship Rhodes restaurant, and 26 meeting and conference rooms. This luxury London hotel is steeped in history and prides itself on its high levels of service and the comfort it offers as it seeks to live up to its tagline to ‘inspire, enthral and amaze’. The Cumberland Hotel London is part of the Guoman group of London hotels which also features the Charing Cross and the Tower and more recently the five-star Royal Horseguards.
Historically, the building itself came into existence towards the end of the 1920s and it began to usher in its guests from 1933 as the first hotel to have telephones in each room and private en suite bathrooms. Even King George V and Queen Mary were in attendance for the venue’s grand opening ceremony. Today, the hotel brings together an impressive style mixed with contemporary aspects, with sculptures and paintings dotted around the building, while the bedrooms and dining rooms are also modern in their design and furnishing.
The Cumberland Hotel is set near to London’s Oxford Street shopping area, while the famous Marble Arch and all sorts of other attractions and sights are also nearby. Further, the Marble Arch underground station, on the Central line, is set next to this sizeable venue ensuring ease of access. Meanwhile, the Paddington, Marylebone and Victoria train stations are all approximately two miles from the hotel.
