Business guests can make use of the conference rooms and a secretarial service. The Metropolitan houses two of London's hippest destinations. Nobu is the Michelin starred restaurant favoured by the celebrity set, and serves a mix of Peruvian Japanese dishes. The house speciality is Black Cod with Miso. The Met Bar is also a favourite celebrity haunt, where Armani clad staff mix an array of bespoke Martinis. The bar has decadent red leather seating and moody lighting. Hyde Park lies opposite the hotel and provides a variety of sporting opportunities, including jogging, horse riding and a boating lake. Guestrooms. The 150 air conditioned guestrooms are located over 10 storeys and are decorated in shades of taupe and cream, with purple and aubergine accents. Rooms are lined with pear wood panelling and feature suede upholstery, pure Egyptian cotton sheets and goose down duvets. Views are of Hyde Park or Mayfair. All offer cable television with pay movies, phones with voicemail, high speed wireless Internet connections, CD and DVD juke boxes, minibars, and safes. Bathrooms are in marble and frosted glass, with COMO Shambhala toiletries, and either bathtubs and showers or walk in showers.Expert Tip. Shepherd Market is located 500 metres behind the hotel, and is home to some of Mayfair's best pubs and restaurants. The cobbled streets and narrow lanes make a welcome respite from the grandeur of Mayfair's architecture.
