Marylebone lies between Oxford Street and Regent’s
Park in the W1 postcode. The area kept much of its 18th-century Georgian
grid — Portman, Bryanston, Manchester and Cavendish Squares —
with Marylebone High Street as its main commercial spine. The contrast
with Oxford Street is sharp: small independent shops, food markets,
Daunt Books on Marylebone High Street itself, the Wallace Collection on
Manchester Square.
It’s a practical Central London base for visitors who want the
location without the crowds. Oxford Street sits along the southern edge,
Regent’s Park and the zoo are five minutes north through Baker
Street, and Bond Street shopping is the same distance south. The area
covers three major tube stations: Baker Street (Bakerloo, Circle,
Ham&C, Jubilee, Metropolitan), Bond Street (Central, Jubilee,
Elizabeth) and Marble Arch (Central).
Accommodation spans Georgian townhouse conversions, design-led
boutique hotels (The Landmark, The Marylebone, The Chiltern Firehouse)
and mid-range chain properties on Portland Place. Rates sit close to
Mayfair at the top end, with more four-star and boutique alternatives
at the mid-tier. Below are 18 hotels in Marylebone.
