Why We Like It

If you’re on a budget but after a hotel in one of central London’s most enticing neighborhoods then the Sumner is a worthy choice. The rooms are spacious and fairly priced for an area close to the West End that’s brimming with things to do.

Fodor's Expert Review

Visitors to the Sumner are greeted by the impressive façade of the property’s beautiful Georgian townhouse. Inside, historic details are complemented by contemporary rooms that keep things simple, yet homely. Superbly located in the central village neighborhood of Marylebone, the hotel is close enough to walk to Oxford Street and Hyde Park, making it an ideal spot for tourists.

Tip The hotel has a garden that guests can relax in when the weather is warm enough.

If rum’s your thing then you don’t want to miss Burlock (10-minute walk), the Cuban-inspired neighborhood bar that makes the spirit its specialty. A slick, contemporary meeting point for the area’s cool crowd, the Marylebone (12-minute walk) is the place for cocktails and DJs.
