The most surprising characteristic of this stylish, modern hotel is its aura of tranquillity. It is an ideal base for shoppers - a short distance from Bond Street, theatre- and clubland - and just two minutes' walk from the bustle of Piccadilly. "The Lounge" on the first floor serves light menus; the more sophisticated Tapas Bar and 81 Restaurant providing superb European cuisine and pre-theatre dinners. Travellers on vacation will enjoy the traditions of the Cavendish; business travellers will appreciate the modern facilities ranging from on-site parking to air-conditioned meeting rooms. Unsurprisingly, the hotel has won many top awards for quality, comfort and service.
