The Henley Park Hotel sits in a neighborhood filled with great restaurants, shops and art galleries. This Tudor-style hotel was once home to luxury apartments and now houses 96 guest rooms. Its exterior is guarded by 118 gargoyles Guest rooms are decorated in reds and creams, and they have high ceilings, as well as a generous amount of desk and table space appreciated by business travelers and families with kids. All guest rooms feature antiques, some including four-poster beds, and you’ll find the usual amenities today’s travelers require, right down to the cozy bathrobe and turndown service with chocolates.
