Hotelier Andre Balazs has affirmed his hitmaker reputation with the Chiltern Firehouse. Housed in an old Victorian gothic firehouse, the hotel is the triumph of central London’s Marylebone neighborhood. The namesake Michelin-starred restaurant manned by chef Nuno Mendes attracts a hip clientele. The intimate Ladder Shed lounge is the hottest scene in town thanks to A-listers like Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, and David Cameron. The nightlife buzz dissipates in the 26 rooms, outfitted with custom-made linens, high ceilings, marble bathrooms, fireplaces, and walls adorned with Sheila Metzner photographs. Guests receive the ultimate VIP treatment, with 24-hour personalized service at their fingertips. In fact, each room’s telephone sports a label that reads, “Dial 0 for anything,” and they mean it.
