The Metropolitan is among the capital's most enduring design phenomena; a hotel that combines cool looks and cosseting service with a contemporary mindset, putting it squarely on the map of travellers seeking to be at the centre of the action. From the floor-to-ceiling windows, look out over a glittering skyline comfortable in the knowledge you are standing right where it matters - on Park Lane, with one of London's best bars and restaurant in the very same building.
