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.
