SHERLOCK HOLMES HOTEL PARK PLAZA
What if Holmes Retired to Run a Hotel on Baker Street?

There’s no evidence in the books and stories of Arthur Conan Doyle that his eponymous character Sherlock Holmes hung out in the bar lounge sipping a martini while the tourist life of London passed by outside in the London mist on Baker Street. Indeed, the famous fictional detective’s predilections tended toward a different sort of mood altering concoction and the solitary gloom of the rooms of 221b. Doyle retired his character more than once, and one wonders what a famous detective does after retirement. Why, it’s elementary, my dear fellow - open a bar, of course! For the modern day explorer of the mysteries of London Town, a relaxing drink in the lounge of the Sherlock Holmes Hotel on Baker Street, the company of Mr. Holmes can be kept from his ever observant spot behind the cocktail bar. Holmes was known for using disguises and who’s to say he hasn’t disguised himself as, well…himself, in bust form.

The Park Plaza Sherlock Holmes Hotel in London is comprised of a pair of 18th Century London townhouses converted to a rather quietly elegant hotel of 119 rooms. The hotel has been recently refurbished to a clean lined contemporary style with redesigned bedrooms and suites. The bathrooms all have distinctive frosted glass doors. The hotel is air conditioned with fitness center gym, sauna and steam room. Luxurious larger split-level loft suites are featured at the Sherlock Holms, with upstairs bedrooms overlooking the living area with sofas and soft lighting.

Downstairs in the lobby is Sherlock's Bar & Grill, serving European and Mediterrainian cuisine with an emphasis on mesquite charcoal grilled and a mesquite wood dishes. All observed by the ever watchful consulting detective in his Deerstalker. The hotel offers a luxury feel at a mid-price for London lodgings. The Park Plaza Sherlock Holmes Hotel is located just a block and a half from the decidedly touristy Sherlock Homes Museum at 221b Baker Street (see Sherlock Holmes Museum London) and from Madame Tussauds Wax Museum where the London double-decker tour busses stop (see London Sight-seeing Bus Tours). The Sherlock Holmes Hotel is within walking distance from Oxford Street and Bond Street. The Baker Street Terminal is the way to Wembley Stadium. Baker Street is a few tube stops from the Eurostar International Terminal at St. Pancras/Kings Cross or bus ride down Marlebone and Euston Rd. (see Eurostar St Pancras London-Paris), and the Heathrow Express into Paddington is a few tube stops the other way, so the Sherlock Holmes Hotel can be a midpoint option for air to London and rail to Paris. © Bargain Travel Europe
