Great Scotland Yard is a Hyatt Unbound Collection hotel in London, located in the building of the historic London Metropolitan police station. The hotel is popular with World of Hyatt loyalists, and it’s a property I’m planning on checking out the next time I’m in London.

There is no such person as “HRH The King of Scotland.”

Looking forward to having loud sex with my wife in this townhome rather than a standard room where we would disturb our neighbors.

I didn't see a life/elevator in the floor plans. Is there one?

I want to try it. So typically British decor. But I'll probably wait until your review.

The modern decor inside is a bit of a let down.

My husband and I stayed in the Sherlock Suite for a week in February 2020. It was so beautiful, quirky, fun, and well run that I can't wait to stay there again. The daily breakfast was always outstanding and the afternoon tea is highly recommended. The decor is fabulous. Location is perfect, right around the corner from Trafalgar Square.
Like many of you, we've been lucky to travel to and stay at some awesome places---this is one of the most interesting and fun places we've been.

I've stayed at the 'normal' hotel here and the pictures don't do it justice. The hotel is kept in exceptional shape, but more than that, the service is above and beyond for the hotel category. It's a great hotel and I look forward to going again soon.

Management and team seem to be really on their A Game, so I imagine this will also be a great experience.

So basically an Airbnb but with a Hyatt brand name that allows it to charge 10x the price.

A typo: "All guess staying in the No1 Townhouse..." > should be "All guests..."

The rates appear reasonable, even moderate, when compared with other London options of similar ilk. I am eager to sample this offering but lament the interiors are not a little more 'daring'.

You are not paying for 5 storey of building!!!

Also you can find many Airbnb in high rises and “townhouses” even in expensive areas like Chelsea and Kensington for £200-700 easily

Also airport transfer is barely £100 with a Uber, so I don’t see the point in complaining

The Como's Metropolitan has had similar for a few years in adjacent owned townhomes and apartments. They have far better options of multiple layouts and pricing with the same amenities from the hotel. I booked it once with some friends and was fun. Of course, no points with Como, but they are still a wonderful little boutique brand.

I was surprised to learn that it only costs GBP2500 per night. I would not call that pricey for the floor space in return.

The décor on the other hand...

The Rosewood in DC (Georgetown) has similar townhouse options.

Family Room is indeed awful.
But my biggest problem would be those TV screens.
I'm sure they would remove them for a stay if one asked in advance, but did they think to make it so that things looks sensible once they are removed?

If you look at VRBO pricing for a three-bedroom flat in Mayfair, you will find similar pricing.

Just what I always wanted. Hiking 5 flights of stairs to get to my bedroom every night.

If it is your wife who is loud, please open the windows. If it is you who is loud, please keep them closed.
