You probably know the distinguished Lanesborough Hotel as central London’s expensive country house hotel – complete with private butlers who help you unpack & attend to your every whim! If you’re knowledgeable about London hotels, you’d also know that it has the best Bloody Mary in London & one of the city’s best “underground” bars (for smokers) called the Garden Room. But you might not be aware that behind its traditional façade, the Lanesborough is also one of the most technologically-advanced hotels in London. This is something you wouldn’t really guess from its reception area & bar, which feels like discretion & understated luxury personified.
However, the hotel currently provides free SONY Vaio laptops in all guestrooms, along with unlimited free WiFi internet access & even the services of a “technology butler”. These are amenities which many upscale hotels would charge through the nose for. But not the Lanesborough which has an entirely different philosophy. In fact, the hotel also gives you use of a mobile phone in the hotel along with an advanced television system & free movies & music on demand – all included in your room rate. Plus there are even free long-distance landline calls to the US & European Union (where many hotels charge crazy money even for local calls!). Also impressive is the discreet way that electronics & technology are integrated into the rooms & suites. And the hotel continues to invest in upgrades, spending a rumoured £80,000 per room.
