The Capital has been acclaimed the world over for both its accommodation and cuisine. In 2008 alone it has been awarded the Cesar Award "London Hotel of the Year" by The Good Hotel Guide; "Most Excellent Hotel Restaurant Award" by Condé Nast Johansen; and Travel + Leisure World's Best: Top 500 Hotels.
