Lobby Lounge @ The Como Metropolitan London, England, United Kingdom

During our 3 nights/4 days in London [July 2017] we had dinner on a Sunday evening at the Lobby Lounge of the Como Metropolitan Hotel.

 

It was our second visit and again we enjoyed it very much.

 

Since we had had a very satisfying and indulgent lunch at Galvin at Windows at the neighboring London Hilton Park Lane we weren’t very hungry and looked for something light.

 

Normally there should have been a waiter. Since we had waited quite a while, the concierge took our order, which included one The Source still water, one hot chocolate, two zucchini rosti with smoked salmon, rocket salad and ricotta cheese and one exotic fruit salad.

 

He handed the order over to our waiter, who suddenly arrived.

 

For some reason the hot chocolate seemed to have gone lost in translation. We received it only after a friendly reminder.

 

The meal itself was very good and our main courses and the dessert were from the Como Shambala cuisine menu.

 

We chatted a bit with the waiter since we were the only guests.

 

The bill was 53 GBP (ca. 59.85 Euro / ca. 68.30 USD) including service charge, but the water hadn’t been charged.

 

We would return and at some stage and might even stay at the Como Metropolitan Hotel in our future.

The Lobby Lounge @ The Metropolitan Hotel by COMO, London, England, United Kingdom

After our lunch at Benares in February 2016 – please see review – we visited the Metropolitan by COMO Hotel in London.

 

We made a quick stop to warm up at the Lobby Lounge, because it was a bit cold and raining during our February afternoon while out and about.

 

We had already some experience with COMO, having stayed at the Halkin Hotel, just a few steps away.

 

We were impressed by the stylish and whimsical, but comfortable interior design.

 

Would it have been a bright day, the lobby would have been light flooded due to the floor to ceiling windows.

 

The staff members were very discreet, not really visible and arrived just in time when you needed them, like magic, so this was an outstanding experience. Of course they were charming and efficient too.

 

We ordered tea, hot chocolate, a Vital Veg Juice and the Cashew ice cream sundae with walnuts, blueberries and verbena jelly.

 

The juice and sundae were from the COMO Shambala Cuisine Menu.

 

The juice included locally grown tomatoes, carrots, celery, peppers, cucumber, fennel, pumpkin, parsley, basil and lemon juice. It was delicious.

 

The hot chocolate was rich and the tea again by JING.

 

The sundae was really interesting and the jelly the most unique part. It was refreshing. The textures and flavors worked well together. We didn’t miss “normal” milk based ice cream at this time.

 

The bill was just under 40 GBP (ca. 52 Euro or 58.80 USD).

 

We would return again and we would want to stay at the Metropolitan by COMO Hotel in our future.
