Best Luxury Hotels in Marylebone
The well-heeled neighbourhood of Marylebone places visitors close to the best independent shops and theatres in the capital and in easy reach of the city’s business centre. It’s a well-established area that’s long been home to some of London’s wealthiest residents, such as Paul McCartney, Jimi Hendrix and Charles Dickens, as well as the iconic fictional resident, Sherlock Holmes. Marylebone was originally named after the local church of St Mary and the Tyburn brook that ran through it (and still does, below ground). It has no shortage of luxury hotels, but these are some of our favourites.
