The hotel has eight suites, designed using materials from the Ralph Lauren collection. The mattresses are handmade and the sheets are Egyptian cotton.
Restaurant
In 1974 the hotel's restaurant, The Capital Restaurant, was one of the first three hotel restaurants in London to achieve a Michelin Star under chefs Richard Shepherd and Brian Turner. In 2001 it earned a second star under Éric Chavot. Other notable chefs who have worked there include Gary Rhodes and Paul Merrett. The restaurant lost its stars after Chavot's departure in 2009. Wines served in the restaurant included those from the proprietor's eponymous winery in the Loire Valley in France.
By 2013, the hotel's restaurant had been replaced by a new restaurant, Outlaw's, named for its chef, Nathan Outlaw.
