Set in the vibrant heart of London’s shopping and entertainment district, directly adjacent to Carnaby Street and the London Palladium, the Courthouse Doubletree by Hilton is a classic fixture on the ever-changing city skyline. Steeped in history and intrigue, the hotel premises were formerly known as the Great Marlborough Street Magistrates Court – in 1835 Charles Dickens worked as a reporter there for the Morning Chronicle, and since 1912, a number of famous and infamous faces have passed through its polished chambers in the name of justice including Mick Jagger and Francis Bacon. Artfully re-invented as a contemporary five-star hotel in 2005, the Courthouse Doubletree
by Hilton still incorporates many remnants of the building’s colourful past into its current design. A Grade II-listed building, the hotel features the original Robert Adam fireplaces throughout the luxurious Magistrates Suites, prison cells in the holding block reinvented as funky private VIP rooms in The Bar, and Silk, the hotel’s Michelin-recommended destination restaurant, is in fact the old Number One courtroom. The 112 well-appointed rooms and suites, including the one-of-a-kind Lalique Crystal Penthouse
suite, and the Sanook Spa, means that the Courthouse Doubletree offers a peaceful escape from busy
city life. Quote “BRITAIN’s Finest” for a classic double room with breakfast and taxes included for £199 per night subject to availability. Bookings must be made by 31 March 2010.
