The
Hotel



THE SUITES

Drenched in sunlight and classic British design, with a true sense of hos-
pitality couture, each one of our 3 suites and 14 rooms are different.
Carefully refined and gloriously comfortable, each design includes fea-
tures influenced by the personalities of our favourite British models.
The Kate Suite is thoroughly patriotic; with loud features contrasting
against the classic decor, it is sure to bring out the rebel within you. Al-
ternatively, the Suki room is delicately floral and bohemian, with a soft
bronze palette running through from the bespoke bed frame to the vin-
tage style taps. Thick, plush rugs cover dark parquet flooring, lovingly
crafted and laid by classic British carpenters.
The house check and more iconic Burberry style feature on items such
as the soft furnishings and stationary found within the room. With rooms
designed for the modern luxury business traveller, all are equipped with a
solid wooden desk and offer high speed Wi-Fi to make your working stay
here productive and enjoyable.
Every bathroom features hand painted tiles from Marlborough and
uniquely hand painted, freestanding, Drummonds bath tubs. Burberry
Beauty products made exclusively for hotel guests compliment the deli-
cate Egyptian cotton towels. Suite bathrooms also feature a complimen-
tary cotton bathrobe, monogrammed with your initials made just for you,
ahead of your stay.
All hotel guests can also enjoy room service, and priority on appointments
for the Beauty Box treatment centre and tables in Thomas’s II.



THOMAS’S II

At the Burberry Hotel’s, Thomas’s II, we focus on nostalgic British
flavours made with the freshest ingredients, sourced from local arti-
san suppliers, fisherman and free range farms.
Our Culinary Director, Paul Welburn has created a fresh menu
bringing together delicate sentimental British flavours with modern
cooking techniques. With years of Michelin cooking behind him,
Paul has taken hold of our kitchen and has produced seasonal men-
us, following the latest culinary trends.
Our current dinner menu includes dishes such as succulent pan
roasted octopus, salad of beef tartare and gin cured salmon.
An elegant setting, Thomas’s II features an open kitchen which ex-
hales mouth watering smells into the restaurant. Thick marble tables
and plush velvet seating compliment the classical interiors and dark
wood floors.
Alternatively dine al-fresco and soak in the city buzz. The relaxed
environment with snug cushions and throws in the winter, contrasts
the hustle of Leicester Square and China Town.

With beautiful interiors and a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere,
Thomas’s II is the perfect environment for a social or business meal.



THOMAS’S BAR

A perfect pair to our culinary mastery in the kitchen, the mix-
ologists at Thomas’s bar have created signature cocktails and
tipples using foraged fresh British ingredients such as Lavender
and Honey. Most of our cocktail ingredients which we add to
the liquor is created right here in Thomas’s, including the syr-
ups and fruit juices.
At dusk, low lighting bounces off the gold tones and the em-
erald velvet bar stools, illuminating an intimate space which is
perfect to finish off a day of work or celebrate at the weekend.
Vintage wines are available upon request.



BEAUTY BOX
TREATMENT

CENTRE

For a chance to rejuvenate after your travels, the basement floor of
the Burberry Hotel features a Beauty Box Treatment Centre.
The Beauty Box Treatment Centre offer a range of individual treat-
ments such as massages, facials and manicures. As well as makeovers
and hair styling to make you look and feel completely refreshed.
The centre is a luxurious and calming environment spread over the
basement floor with an enchanting scent of Summer Lilac, inspired
by the english country side, by acclaimed perfumer Francis Kurkdjian
Expert therapists offer free consultations to tailor a personal treat-
ment and hairdressers are available on request.
The centre uses exclusive Burberry beauty products made just for
the hotel, but these are available to buy at the Beauty Box reception,
along with our Burberry Beauty AW16 collection.



FASHION
CONCIERGE

For short stay travellers and party goers, the Fashion Concierge service
allows guests to remain immaculately dressed during their stay. Alex-
ander, our head concierge, can offer anything from private shopping
rooms in London’s best stores to whole collections delivered to your
room in under an hour.
To extend your Burberry experience, step into our guest wardrobe on
the basement floor, housing the latest collections and special reclaimed
vintage pieces. Rosa, our in-house stylist, takes personal appointments
to dress you for any occasion. If you’d prefer to use the service more
personally, you can download our app and choose what you’d like to
try, loan or buy, from shirts and cufflinks to full length ball gowns. All
items will be delivered to your suite, pressed and ready to wear, shortly
afterwards.
If you are short on time then pre-order a selection and you’ll find it
waiting in your rooms wardrobe upon arrival.
Free fitting and tailoring services are also available, as well as traditional
shoe shining, so please feel free to ask Alexander or use the app.
We know how temperamental British weather can be, which is why you
can grab a classic trench coat, scarf or walking umbrellas on a compli-
mentary loan, just look inside your wardrobe!
If you enjoyed any of the garments or accessories so much you wont to
keep them, don’t fret! Ask Alexander and he’ll source them brand new
for you to purchase and take home.



LOCATION

Originally a six storey Georgian townhouse, then an early 19th centu-
ry Hotel du Ponance, guests included Karl Marx and Johan Strauss.
The hotel sometime later became Manzi’s a world famous Seafood
restaurant in the upbeat 1920’s.
The building still sits on the edge of Soho and a minute away from
Leicester Square, but is now a hotel for the Burberry man or woman.
Soho, the heart of London’s fashion district, is home to a hub of
stylish independent restaurants, coffee shops and of course, London
Fashion Week. Famous nightlife such as The Box and The Groucho
Club attracts even the Royals to a district bustling with life.
We recommend a visit to our flagship store, just ten minutes away
on Regent Street, where you can immerse yourself in our digitally
enhanced retail palace and enjoy our interactive mirrors and mono-
gram services.
If retail therapy is your interest, head to London’s famous Bond
Street to gaze and shop high fashion, fine jewels, art and antiques. Or
for some leisure time, we’re situated just a walk away from Leicester
Square, the home of cinemas and casinos.
