If you ever thought of owning a second home in London but have been dissuaded by all the hassle and costs then think again. 47 Park Street Grand Residences by Marriott is offering elegantly designed one or two bedroom residences in the heart of Londons Mayfair for £111,000 and £260,000 respectively.

In return, members get to stay a minimum of 21 nights a year, while extra nights can be purchased at a rate below 100, which, considering 47 Park Street is a 5 star hotel in the centre of London in all but name, is very generous indeed. Each residence comes with the services you would expect from a Marriott, offering full concierge and a la carte room service, valet and twice daily housekeeping. If you’re afraid that all sounds a little impersonal then fear not. Personal belongings can be left in storage between visits, so no lugging the kitchen sink around every time you travel, and on your return you will find all your personal effects in place and your clothes dry-cleaned.

But where 47 Park Street really comes into its own are the arrangements it has made with other nearby institutions. Spa Illuminata offers a range of treatments to assuage the weary traveller while for business the services of the Pasley-Tyler club are on hand. For those just looking to let their hair down, Mortons Private Members club is just a short walk away.
