There is a new luxury Marriott option in London – the Bankside Hotel.
If you’re a Londoner you will be familiar with the shockingly oversized One Blackfriars tower which now dominates the South Bank. At the base of the tower, but in a separate sister building, is the Bankside Hotel.
It has just opened and is part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection. This means that you can earn and redeem Marriott Rewards points there as well as enjoy various status benefits.
Marriott is weak on upscale modern properties in London and this is a welcome addition.
