Excellent hotel with fabulous views of the city of London from all rooms. Also beautiful infinity swimming pool. Expensive but worth the price. However breakfast was also expensive but dreadful. The supposedly hot breakfast was stone cold served on cold plates and so not edible. The croissant was so hard it could not be cut. When asked if everything was alright on check out I fedback that the breakfast was inedible, the receptionist apologised but did not refund the cost. So advice is do not eat in the Ping restaurant at Shangri-La

From the moment we walked in everything went like clockwork. Our room was ready and I even got chocolates delivered to my room, free of charge, as it was my birthday. The city view, pool and breakfast were the highlights for me. We only didn't have an evening meal at the hotel as there are so many options near.

The staff here was amazing, the room and hotel itself could use some updating. The cushions on all seats in the restaurants and lounges need to be deep cleaned or replaced. The offerings at the in house restaurant could be better. The view was spectacular but it definitely leaves a lot to be desired.

Attention to detail was missed during our stay
I was there to celebrate my wife's birthday which I contacted guest services in advance. I paid for some extras to make it a little special for her, however, when we arrived they hadn't seen my emails or responded to me prior to our stay and the gift in the room wasn't acknowledged and at the wrong price. The guest relations was however very pleasant and rectified the issues. We had a lovely relaxed time in the hotel, the room was fabulous but the only disappointment was when we had dinner and breakfast we were given poor seating next to columns, not very romantic or comfortable. Not sure when you are required to book a table they allocated us the poor seats. additionally when we booked a table in The GONG bar on Saturday night we were sat right next to a group of men, rather loud. Bearing in mind we were contacted by guest relations in view how they could make our stay special in light of my wife's birthday. Attention to that detail was not great or considered

Staying here, is really all about the rooms with a view. Fantastic to go to bed at night or wake in the morning to the vista of London all around you. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Hard to criticise any of the facilities, but then it is a premium price to stay here. If anything could be better it would be the tiny inexpensive details. For example 9 years ago when we first stayed we had a complimentary welcome bowl of fruit and tea waiting for us when we checked it. Not this time. Silly but little things like that make all the difference.
