Frommer's Exceptional

This is London's premier townhouse hotel, a bastion of elegance and discretion. Set behind a facade of gray stone with neoclassical details, this structure, only 45m (148 ft.) from Piccadilly Circus, was built in 1870 for English gentlemen doing business in London. The Togna family has been in charge since 1915. The place was radically renovated in 1990, and 22 Jermyn has reveled in its role as a chic, upscale boutique hotel ever since. It offers an interior filled with greenery and the kind of art you might find in an elegant private home. The sixth floor features one of the best-equipped computer centers in London, which guests may use for free. This hotel doesn't have the bar or restaurant facilities of The Stafford or Dukes, but its refurbished rooms are more richly appointed in the traditional English style.
