The Arch London
The Arch London is a luxurious Georgian
townhouse hideaway in the heart of central
London. The officially rated five star property
is a regular resident amongst the top 20
Luxury hotels in the UK on TripAdvisor
and has earned the 2017 Forbes Travel
Guide Recommended Award. The hotel is
tucked away on a calm residential street in
Marylebone, a stone’s throw from Bond Street,
Hyde Park and the West End, and spans seven
Grade II listed Georgian townhouses and two
mews homes.
Upon entering reception a roaring open-fireplace
provides a warming welcome to travellers. The
interior throughout is quietly glamorous, boasting
marble and glass, and a specially curated collection of
art, including a moving art installation illuminating
the reception desk. English heritage is fused with
contemporary boutique design, with walls adorned
in eye-catching artwork by British talents. The
corridors have also been permeated with character,
and black and white ‘Alphatecture’ series of prints
span the length of the gallery-inspired hall leading
towards the Martini Library.
A member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World™
and Pride of Britain, the hotel boasts 82 bedrooms
including eleven sumptuous suites spread over six
floors. Floors are considerately numbered 1, 2, 3, and
5 as the number 4 is considered unlucky in Asian
cultures. Spacious interconnecting rooms are on
offer for families or larger groups.
The hotel is dog friendly with an ethos to treat pooches
to the same indulgent experience as their owners, with
luxurious dog beds, bowls, and delicious doggy menu
cooked to order by a chef. Dog walking services are

furry friends are exploring the 350 acres of nearby

furnishings and are immaculately finished with the
highest attention to every detail in every aspect. The
beds are a majestic fixture in every room, as each one is
adorned with duck down duvets and pillows.
