OTTAWA—A 16th team has been added to next year's Canadian men's and women's curling championships, and it will have to win its way in via a wild-card game.
Curling Canada revamped the format of the Tim Hortons Brier and Scotties Tournament of Hearts because the previous pre-tournament qualifier was unpopular.
Under the new format, the top two teams in the Canadian Team Rankings System that don't win their province or territory will square off the evening prior to the start of the round robin at both events. The winner earns a berth in the 16-team field.
The CTRS rankings are determined by points earned at curling events during the season.
"Everyone agreed that this was an ideal and positive solution to the issue of determining the 16th entry into the Scotties Tournament of Hearts and Tim Hortons Brier," Curling Canada chief executive officer Katherine Henderson said Wednesday in a statement.
"The new 16-team format ensures every member association is participating from the beginning of the week, and also ensures that a quality field is in place in order to determine a Canadian team to wear the Maple Leaf and play for a world championship."
What the wild-card team will be called and what colours they'll wear has yet to be announced by Curling Canada.
A pre-qualifying tournament introduced in 2014 had the four lowest-seeded provinces and territories playing off to get into the main draw, with the three losers going home early.
In order to give full participation to all provinces and territories, and continue having a defending champion and a Northern Ontario entry in both the Hearts and the Brier, a 16-team format was the next solution. It allows for two pools of eight teams.
Curling Canada said the wild-card option was spearheaded by an athletes' advisory council that includes Mike McEwen, E.J. Harnden, Nolan Thiessen, Lisa Weagle, Tracy Fleury and Val Sweeting.
"I don't think many curlers would say no to a second chance at qualifying for the Brier or the Scotties, and the thing I really like is that a team has to win a game in order to qualify," McEwen said in the statement.
Teams in the wild-card game must have participated in their respective provincial and territorial championship.
The 2018 Tournament of Hearts is in Penticton, B.C., from Jan. 27 to Feb. 4. The Brier runs March 2-11 in Regina.
The top four teams from each pool advance to a championship round to determine the four playoff teams.

Our antique piano needs a new home. It is the most sentimental thing I've had to part with, as it came over on the boat with my family in the early 1900's. I inherited it when I was 16 years old, and have moved it to each of the three houses Raoul and I have lived in. There is no room for it in the fourth (and last). We don't play, and our sons have no need and/or room for it.
The piano is free.
It needs a major tune-up, and is really heavy. We need it picked up (from Mill Creek) by June 28. Sooner is better.
If you are interested, please leave a comment on my blog. If there is more than one taker, I'll put the names in a bowl and pick. Thanks!

Saving with Bargain Shopping - How to Save on Your Food Bill
Ideas to Save on Your Food Bill
People everywhere are cutting back costs to save more money. It makes sense that if you can't make more money, then to save money by spending less is another great way to keep more of what you do have.
What are some ideas to save on the food bill?
1. Always have a shopping list, even if its just a mental list. Plan to not overspend and stick to the list. Try to never go to the market unless its really necessary. One really good tip is to never go shopping when you are hungry. If you have the option of having someone else watch your young children, this can help sometimes too. Its hard to say no when they keep on asking you, and this way you avoid it all together.
2. Consider cutting coupons if you don't, and look at the rebates being offered. If you do this though, do it only for items you were going to buy anyway. Compare prices on alternative products as well, and compare the after coupon cost. Take advantage of free sample offers on items, and return containers that can you a little bit of money. You would be amazed at how those little bits help add up.
3. Cook with the future in mind. Cut back on expensive convenience foods, and small packages when you can buy a bigger bag of chips for instance. Just be conscious of sealing it up, with whatever you use to keep things fresh. Make things yourself, like cookies or brownies, and casseroles can go far and be reheated for leftovers. When you make a casserole, say like a lasagna, make two and freeze one for later. That saves time and money both.
4. Some people take advantage of day old bread from the bakery, or from dented cans of food that are just fine. You can save money in these areas. With the bread, just have plans to use it quickly, or else it may mold or get too hard, which saves no money in the end if you don't eat it.
5. Now, more than ever, store and generic brand products are often just as good as the name brands. There are exceptions of course, but why not consider saving in this way? You can learn quickly what you don't like, and what you like just as much and maybe even more that is the generic brand. I have actually had that happen before, if you can believe it!
6. Cut up your own meat to save money and make the meat go further. You can chicken in bigger pieces for instance and cut them up yourself. Watch also for which meats are on a good sale. You can cut up your own stew meat for instance, rather than having the butcher do it for you. Over a years time, you can save a lot.
7. Buy fresh fruits and vegetables in season and freeze some to enjoy later. Study up on what freezes well and the best ways to do so. This is healthy and saves you money. You can make some amazing cobblers and banana breads this way, among many other things like smoothies, etc. Its so healthy too.
8. Consider taking up gardening, or if you are a gardener, grow your own vegetables. Invest in some fruit trees or berry bushes. This is an excellent way to be more self sufficient. Get to know others that are doing the same, and maybe you can share your harvest with each other.
9. If you and some friends are trying to save money, instead of going out to dinner, have a dinner party potluck where everyone brings something to share. You can actually have fun for a lot less money and spend more quality time together in someones home.
10. Consider ways to save more money on food wherever you are currently spending. If you buy breakfast, snacks or lunch out, get creative and do a lunch sack instead. Bring a little cooler, or use a bag that you are recycling. Your savings in this area may surprise you!
* There will always be some things we have to pay for in life, that we don't really have much control over, but in this area, we can choose to save money by simply making some decisions to do so.

We all know that water is something we can't live without that's why we present you the Water Chart Secrets. It's the Mother Nature's elixir of youth, health and beauty.
We all should drink plenty of water every day. It can help you lose weight, improve your health, get a better complexion and feel refreshed and full of energy. But, many people don't actually get it and they don't realize that drinking water is extremely important for their health in general and to their weight loss efforts. A recent research has shown that most of the people in America don't drink the recommended amount of daily water.
Many different studies have discovered that drinking just two cups of plain water before meals can help people lose an additional 5 lbs every year and it also helped them to maintain that steady weight loss. Well, this may actually explain why so many people have trouble reaching their weight loss goals. Maybe they aren't drinking the recommended daily water? But, imagine if we actually drank as much water as our body needs?
Yes, you should drink plenty of water every day because drinking the right amount of water will help you boost your metabolism and reduce the appetite, so you won't eat too much. Well, this is because if we are dehydrated the lack of water causes our organism to confuse hunger and thirst. Now here are the million dollar questions – what's the right amount of water? Does every person in the worlds needs to drink the same amount of water? Does it vary from person to person? What does this depend on?
Water Chart Secrets and Tips
Based on the Water Chart Secrets here are several tips on how to calculate how much water you need to consume in order to stay healthy and trigger weight loss.
Find out your weight – it's extremely important for you to know your weight if you want to calculate how much water you need to drink on a daily basis. Yes, the right amount of water you should drink on daily basis should be based on your actual weight. For example, a 200 pound man shouldn't drink the same amount of water every day as a 100 pound woman.
Your weight divided in half – now, you need to divide your weight in half to find out how much water you should drink on a daily basis. Take this for example, if your weight is 170 lbs / ½ = 85 oz. Well, this means that a person who weighs 170 lbs needs to drink 85 oz of water every day.
Activity Level
Another thing you should take into consideration is how often you work out. This is also important information because when you exercise, you sweat and expel water during the process, so you will need to compensate for the quantity of water you have lost during your workout. For every half an hour of exercise, you should add about 12 ounces of water to your recommended daily water amount, on average. Thus, if today you have worked out for an hour, you should drink 24 extra ounces of water compared to your recommended daily amount.
Or just take a look at the chart if you're not sure about the calculations. The Water Chart Secrets are for the recommended daily water intake for a range of weights.
Well, if you see the chart for the 200 lbs, you'll notice that he needs to drink 100 oz of water. It may seem difficult or nearly impossible to drink more than 100 oz of water every day, but here are some guidelines and tips that can help you achieve your goal.
For example, you can drink 2 cups of water (16 oz) before every meal. That's 48 oz a day. You should drink a glass of water every morning, immediately after waking up and before you go to sleep. That's another 32 oz. And all you have to do is divide the rest throughout the day and you are all set. You need to keep track of how much water you drink by using one specific container to drink water from and calculate how much of these you'll need to drink.
Here are also some Drinking Water FAQ's if you have some common questions.

This one girl had the bone structure of a fashion model. She was wearing American clothes, all mismatched, and a "Boss" knit cap over her head. The "Boss" cap gave us a chuckle—ghetto-glamour was just so out of place here. "Here" was the Municipal Clinic Hospital in Constanta, Romania. "Here" was the floor devoted to the care of orphans with HIV and AIDS.
In truth, Lilica was Boss of no one, not even in control of one detail of her frail and quickly expiring little life.
Romania had the highest incidence of pediatric HIV in Europe. And the curious ask, "Why?"
It all started with the reign of communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu during the 1970s. As his politics and policies left more and more Romanian families without a means to feed themselves, children were abandoned to government-run orphanages.
Ceausescu arranged for these kids to receive blood transfusions from adults, as he believed the adult blood would nourish them. Thus, a vast number of children who had already been starved, abandoned, and starved some more, were then infused with a final fatal blow of HIV-infected blood.
Lilica sat grinning and fidgeting on the bench in front of a mint-green wall with crackling paint. She approached me, asking, "Bon-bon?" and motioned to her lips with her thumb and forefinger together, as if eating a truffle. "Yes!" I said and sat on the bench so I could forage through my backpack. Her face lit up and she squirmed with anticipation. It was then that I noticed the inside of her mouth, from the inner edge of the lips inward, was covered with a bumpy white layer. It's called thrush, an opportunistic yeast infection that, for these kids, signaled full-blown AIDS.
She took the chocolate and closed her eyes as she put it in her mouth. I was unprepared for what I saw next — a tear streaming down her cheek. She gripped the edge of the bench and looked up at me as she swallowed, a gulp, really, like it hurt. Again, "Bon-bon?" she asked. I gave her a handful and watched as she unwrapped and placed one after the other on her tongue, letting it melt, tears falling, smiling with gratitude, and gulping.
It took my breath away. Joy and pain, all at once. Rarely have I seen them so very close together that they co-exist in the same moment, in the same person.
The doctor said Lilica had difficulty eating anything because the thrush had developed into a secondary bacterial infection. The chocolate was excruciatingly painful to her.
A few months after I returned to the US, I asked about Lilica.
I learned she became the Boss, after all, of her self. She had run away from the hospital, choosing not to die there with the others. Escaping to the unknown, she probably spent her last days in the streets of the city, rummaging for food and dreaming of feeling well enough to play. Perhaps she dreamt of a family that she was part of long ago in a life very different than the one she ended with.
I picture her body in a corner of an alley, curled up next to one of the many stray dogs that roam the streets. She would do that—find comfort and companionship where it was offered. Accept joy when it's given, even when it hurts. Lilica has been one of my very best teachers.

Teepee Mountain is located in the southeastern corner of British Columbia, near the historic site of
Fort Steele
and the present day communities of Cranbrook, Kimberley, Wasa, and Skookumchuck. It is part of the Hughes Range of the Rocky Mountain Chain and overlooks the Kootenay River Valley/Southern Rocky Mountain Trench which divides the Rockies from the Purcell Mountains. Teepee Mountain and Mount Stevens are the highest peaks overlooking Wasa Lake and lie about 10km (6 miles) directly west of
Top of the World Provincial Park
. They are also just west of the head of Diorite Creek.
There are essentially three ways to approach Teepee Mountain. The first, and by far the most common, is the approach that starts near Lazy Lake and traverses over
Mount Stevens
. Once you have reached the summit of Mount Stevens, Teepee Mountain is approximately another kilometre (0.6 miles) to the north. Mount Stevens is a perfect place to stop and have lunch on one's way to Teepee. The second approach is from Fay's Lake to the southeast. Lastly, Teepee Mountain can be reached via the 29km (18 mile) ridge walk from Lakit Lookout to the south.
Mount Stevens and Teepee Mountain are often overlooked due to the popularity and visibility of
Mount Fisher
(better known as Fisher Peak by the locals) in the area. This is unfortunate, as this two summit day is certainly full of its own beauty and incredible views – especially into the endless sea of Rocky Mountain peaks to the east. For those wanting to summit Mount Fisher, Teepee Mountain (via Mount Stevens) can be an ideal warm up day for that next outing. The way up Stevens and Teepee is much easier (it is a hike the entire way) and in the end, Teepee mountain is only approximately 50m (165 feet) lower than Mount Fisher.
Although the hike up Mount Stevens and Teepee Mountain is certainly easier than the hike and scramble up Mount Fisher, it is still a fairly long and gruelling uphill slog to get there. The trail is in excellent condition, but does little in the way of switchbacks. For the most part, it relentlessly makes its way upwards through the forest of Douglas fir and the Canadian bunchberry found on this forest's floor. Make sure to take lots of water, as none will be found along the way.
Teepee Mountain was officially named so in 1959. There can be little doubt it received its name due to the conical shape of the mountain.
Getting There
Please note: I am only giving the driving directions to Teepee Mountain from the Mount Stevens Trail. These directions do not apply to the other approaches to the mountain.
From Highway 93/95, turn east onto the southern end of the Wasa Lake Park Drive loop. Drive 0.4km (0.25 miles) and turn right (southeast) onto Lazy Lake Road. From here, drive 10 km (6.2 miles) and turn right (east) onto Lewis Creek Road. If you see Lazy Lake, you have gone too far. From the turnoff onto Lewis Creek Road, follow the switchbacks upwards for about 5.2km (3.2 miles) until you get to a left turnoff signed "BR A". Park here - the trailhead is about 50m up this road and is marked clearly with a "Mt. Stevens Trail" sign.

History of Gallery 72
Roberta and Robert "Bob" Rogers had a vision to open an art gallery in Omaha devoted to showing modern and contemporary art by nationally recognized artists. After several years of exhibiting and selling art out of their home on Jones Street, they established Gallery 72 on 72nd street in 1972.
In 1974, Bob purchased a two-story brick building at 2709 Leavenworth Street. The first floor became the new location for Gallery 72, which included a front room gallery space, a main gallery, a backroom for art storage and a frame shop in the basement. The second floor was fully renovated into their living space, which was one of Omaha's first loft-style apartments.
In addition to the exhibitions of artwork new and unique to Omaha, Gallery 72 quickly became well known for the potluck dinners held on the Thursday night before the opening of an exhibition. The potlucks brought artists and collectors together in a casual and informative setting that spurred lively conversations, and ultimately led to the development of many life-long friendships. For many guests, this was their first introduction to art and artists, which became the lynchpin for the start of public, private and corporate art collections, as well as establishing Roberta and Bob as pioneers in Omaha's visual arts community. In 1990, they received recognition for their support when they were honored with the Governor's Arts Award.
In 2001, Gallery 72 entered a period of changes, beginning with the death of Roberta in October. Soon after, John Rogers began assisting his father in the operation of the gallery. In 2008, due to health issues, Bob moved out of the gallery loft, although the gallery remained on Leavenworth until the fall of 2012, when John relocated to Vinton Street as gallery owner and director. The end of an era came with the death of Bob Rogers in December 2012.
The gallery's new location at 1806 Vinton Street is in the heart of the Vinton Street Art District . The renovated 1800 sq. ft. gallery space includes a state-of-the art lighting system and the original 13-foot tin clad ceiling and oak wood floor. John Rogers, the current gallery owner, states, " The opening of this new gallery space celebrates my parents' legacy and the gallery's 40-year history of offering exceptional contemporary art and fine art prints to both new and established collectors."

"Texans have to be asking themselves, 'Why do we have to pay so much?' "
Patrick Driscoll
San Antonio Express-News
Copyright 2007
Noisy, anxious speculation over how much motorists will pay to use toll lanes on U.S. 281 has
ended with a silent revelation.
Noisy, anxious speculation over how much motorists will pay to use toll lanes on U.S. 281 has
Barring legal action and a dramatic turnaround in the courts, drivers in two- and three-axle vehicles could pay 17 cents a mile when the first four miles of U.S. 281 toll lanes open in 2012, according to documents posted on the Web without fanfare Monday.
Rates might increase 2.75 percent a year through 2017 and then 3 percent annually after that, about as fast as consumer inflation has been rising.
The Alamo Regional Mobility Authority, which will develop the U.S. 281 tollway, negotiated for months behind closed doors with the Texas Department of Transportation to set the toll rates and had carefully kept the numbers hushed.
But the local Metropolitan Planning Organization must sign off on the deal, and following its habit of releasing information before meetings, posted the proposed toll fees. The organization meets next Monday.
"There you go," spokesman Scott Ericksen said. "It's just our process."
Now that the rates are out there, a furious long-running debate over toll roads will now shift to new ground.
"I'm just glad we're finally getting down to the nitty-gritty," said Jim Reed, a mobility authority board member.
Terri Hall, founder of San Antonio Toll Party and Texans Uniting for Reform and Freedom, said the fees, while comparable to Houston and Dallas, are higher than some other states — a claim borne out by a recent state audit.
"Texans have to be asking themselves, 'Why do we have to pay so much?'" she said.
Vic Boyer, director of the public-private San Antonio Mobility Coalition, said business and road industry officials are so far warm to the rates.
"I think they feel fairly comfortable with what they've seen," he said.
Rebuilding U.S. 281 into a tolled expressway with nontoll frontage roads from Loop 1604 to Marshall Road is just a start for the mobility authority.
The agency hopes to use $258 million in public funds and sell bonds backed by decades of toll fees to add $1 billion worth of toll lanes to highways:
The first 4 miles of U.S. 281 — which officials say will cost $200 million, a third more than estimates earlier this year. Construction starts next summer.
U.S. 281 toll lanes to Comal County. No timetable has been set.
Loop 1604 from Culebra Road to U.S. 281. Construction starts in late 2009.
Plans also call for tolled interchange ramps along Loop 1604 to give motorists faster shots to other freeways such as U.S. 281. The proposed toll rates under consideration for 2012 suggest charging 57 cents for each ramp.
Emergency and military vehicles would get free passage on toll lanes. VIA Metropolitan Transit would get a $42,000 a year break, enough to allow buses and vans to ride free, but the agency would have the option of spreading its exemption among other vehicles, such as vanpools.
In 2012 trucks would be charged 46 cents a mile on toll lanes and $1.15 per interchange ramp.
There would be no tollbooths. Instead, motorists would pay via an electronic scanning system.
"Our goal is to be reasonable, to keep it affordable," mobility authority Chairman Bill Thornton said.
The authority will brief the nonprofit mobility coalition at a private meeting Friday at Valero Energy Corp. to strategize support for toll plans.
"We want everyone to have a chance to see this, to ask questions," Boyer said. "We were on the ball and asked for it."
When Hall heard about Boyer's meeting, she called Reed to set up a presentation for toll critics, which will be held at 6 p.m. today at Chester's Burgers at 16609 San Pedro Ave. She said she wants to know how much profit U.S. 281 toll lanes will generate.
"That's the real crux of the matter," she said. "That'll be interesting."

21 Oct 2008
Geneva, 21 October 2008. Swiss President Pascal Couchepin and French Prime Minister François Fillon were joined at CERN1 today by science ministers from CERN's Member States and around the world to inaugurate the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest and most complex scientific instrument.
"Today is a day for CERN to thank its Member States for their continued support for basic science, and for providing the stable framework that makes science of this kind possible," said CERN Director General Robert Aymar. "It is also a day for CERN and the global particle physics community to take a sense of pride in the achievement of bringing this unique facility from dream to reality, a process that has taken over two decades of careful planning, prototyping and construction, culminating with the successful circulation of the machine's first protons in front of a global audience on 10 September this year."
The inauguration ceremony consisted of speeches, exhibitions and a new audiovisual concert, "ORIGINS", an adaptation of "LIFE: A Journey Through Time", featuring the imagery of National Geographic photographer Frans Lanting and the music of Philip Glass, performed by the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande conducted by Carolyn Kuan.
"The younger generations target their ambitions on what they experience while growing up," said President of CERN Council, Torsten Åkesson. "Science and technology need flagships that stand out and catch the eye, excite fantasy and fuel curiosity. The LHC is one such flagship."
The ceremony was followed by a buffet of molecular gastronomy presented by Chef Ettore Bocchia, and was made possible thanks to the generous support of a range of sponsoring companies and organizations2, most of which have contributed to the construction of the LHC.
"The LHC is the largest and most sophisticated scientific instrument ever built. There have been many challenges along the way, which have all been overcome one after the other," said LHC Project Leader Lyndon Evans. "We are now looking forward to the start of the experimental programme. The adventure of building the LHC will end and a new adventure of discovery will begin."
1. CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is the world's leading laboratory for particle physics. It has its headquarters in Geneva. At present, its Member States are Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. India, Israel, Japan, the Russian Federation, the United States of America, Turkey, the European Commission and UNESCO have Observer status.

What people say
Everything is just perfect from the moment you step through the door. The room we had was fabulous - they had taken note of what my husband had said on the booking form - that it was a birthday treat - and as a result we were upgraded, got a birthday card from the management and complimentary birthday patiserries. The bed was the most comfortable we have ever slept in and the pillows were just heaven. The bathroom was excellent and the Penhalligon toiletries a real treat. If you are looking for.

Class, sophistication and elegance. The staff are very attentive and nothing is too much trouble. The Artesian Bar makes the best cocktails in the world. The food at Roux (2 x Michellin Stars) is superb. Afternoon tea in the Palm Court is an absolute must. Gym, sauna, steam room, pool and spa pool are all very well equipped. The hotel is immaculate from top to bottom. The location.
Everything was more than superb! The doormen were outstanding the nicest most friendly helpful people you could ever meet. The waiter that brought breakfast to our room was absolutely delightful. My little 5 year old granddaughter couldn't stop saying how lovely he was. You couldn't possibly stay in a better hotel !!! Outstanding!!!.
The room was spacious and beautifully quiet and the bed was huge and exceptionally comfortable . The staff were very friendly and helpful whilst at the same time being very professional - we couldn't fault our three day stay at all . The restaurant was also excellent as were the breakfasts in the palm .
We stayed at The Langham on 16th Feb 2013 and was upgraded to the Cavendish Suite which was beautiful, The Hotel staff were lovely and very helpful and the location was perfect for Regent Street we would definately stay there again.
Loved the lot . Doorman , check in all the staff were great . Stayed in a club room well worth the extra . We had a fantastic stay by far the best hotel we have stayed at in Lindon . Look forward to returning .
the service was nothing short of excellent! Everything was taken care of effortlessly. Room was beautiful. The hotel was a pleasure to stay in, I will definitely be staying there again in the future.
The extreme helpfulness of the staff. The Christmas atmosphere in this magnificent hotel. The Chuan Spa that allows you to relax. The location which is perfect for a weekend of Christmas Shopping.
The Doorman is very friendly and helpful, Palm court and Roux at the Landau restaurants are excellent. We loved everything in the Grand double room especially the bed, it was so comfortable.
The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was quiet and very comfortable and the restaurants top quality. The location is excellent; close to Oxford Street but not too busy or noisy.
Location; near Oxford Circus so close for shopping, and the tube to get to other parts of London. Within walking distance to Regents Park. Excellent food and drink service in the hotel.
We travel a lot and found our room was exceptionally clean and tidy compared to other five star hotels. Well done to Housekeeping. We also thought the hotel was luxurious throughout.
Liked the close proximity to major tube stations. Liked the hotel retaurants. Bathrooms are well designed, with plenty of shelves. Staff were generally very friendly and helpful.
Ease & discretion of check in, staff friendly but not over friendly, tasteful decor, wonderful location, luxury. I loved every bit of my stay and will be going again shortly.
Everything was wonderful, we were upgraded and after telling them we were celebrating birthdays had two delicious slices of chocolate birthday cake left in our room. Excellent!.
as i was checking out wednesday morning, they provided me with some water bottles for the ride to Heathrow, it was greatly appreciated as i desperately needed it!!!.
Outstanding staff and location. Stylish and food excellent. We were there for a function - and the beef was outstanding with attentive staff. Thank you.
Service provided to room, attention to detail for a female traveller complimentary wi-fi access excellent high tea some service in eating areas excellent.
Everything. Club facilities were brilliant. The personal service from check-in to departure was superb and friendly (nothing was to much trouble).
An amazing hotel with two fantastic restaurants. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the location of the hotel was excellent.
It was such an amazing and luxury hotel. Very classy, service was impecible and friendly. I have never stayed in a nicer hotel.
Staff went out of their way to ensure lovely stay. Quick check in/check out. Afternoon tea wonderful and cocktail bar special.
I liked everything, from the friendly door staff right down to the cleaning staff. Loved the location,LOVED my room (no 617).
The staff is amazingly helpful and courteous all the time, the decor is very unique, and the attention to details is superb.
It's situation is brilliant - near theatres and shops. Staff were very helpful. Lovely bar and restaurants.
Little touches such as the turn down service each night. Everything provided. The bed linen was to die for!.
Professional Staff, Very Friendly, Atmosphere, Very Clean, High Service in other words very very British.
The bed was the most comfortable and luxurious bed I've ever slept in. Great location to Oxford Street.
My husband and I stayed as we were in London for a concert. We found the hotel lovely and relaxing.
Great service, attention to details and the staff was very helpful in solving any issues we had.
Excellent staff reception and welcome. Good facilities and general air of welcome and pampering.
The location and staff were Aces. I had enjoyed our dinner at Roux de Landau, it was marvellous!.
Staff attentive and helpful. Old style standards are still available in London but at a price.
Ideal location for shopping Comfort and cleanliness of the hotel Artesian Bar Friendly staff.
Reception staff, especially Jennifer Turn down service Comfort of beds Central Location.
Lovely room, amazing bed, super location and brilliant spa, overall very very good.
Friendly efficient staff. Good room facilities. Excellent bar. Excellent location.
Hotel was stunning, refurb is beautifully done. Will be staying again for sure.
Superb, the hotel was the best I have ever stayed in and I am a Londoner.
Service is professional but friendly and breakfast was fab at Landau.
The staff went out of their way to make our stay a very special one.
Comfort, the beds are awesome, and the cocktail bar noisy but fun.
Staff offered complementary drinks during the wait for the room.
It is the ultimate in luxury, the staff are helpful and friendly.
All the staff were nice and friendly and made you feel at home.
Location,staff,quality,cocktail bar one of the best in London.
One of the top three hotels in London. Can't fault it at all.
The friendliness of the staff, and the comfort of the bed.
I liked my suite and the bed was extremely comfortable.
Cocktail bar Room comfortable Luxurious Good location.
It is impossible to find fault -it is just perfect.
It's expensive, but it's reassuringly expensive! ;).
There was nothing we didn't like about this Hotel.
This hotel is quite expensive, but the price can be justified by the excellent service and facilities offered by the hotel.
Poor breakfast in roux at the landau restaurant. The Gym and pool were hard to find, we get lost every time we get there.
Not great value: a high price for a relatively small room with no view. Although the food was excellent, the service for breakfast in Roux at The Landau was patchy; too few staff on duty.
I booked a smoking room through letsbookhotel.com but when I arrived at the hotel I was told that the type of room I had booked was non-smoking and I had to pay for an up grade to a type of room which had the smoking option.
We were dissapointed to return back from the theatre at 10.50 and the staff were not very happy about serving us a drink. They did but put a lemon into my husbands gin and tonic and he wanted a cucumber. The closing time should therefore be 10.50 and not 11.00.
Bed could be firmer, negatively affected my back. Good hotels need to excel with firm bedding. Turndown service was a bit spotty, one night they did it as though only one person was staying in the room. This is a very minor quibble, however.
Turn down service is very good but it felt a bit like I had to have it and should be presented more as an available option. Felt a but intrusive.
Our electronic keys didn't work first time and we had to return to reception from the top floor. This was quickly sorted and we had no problems after that.
The bath. The shower door was fixed and made climbing in and out of the bath an interesting experience.
some service in eating area at breakfast not so good chef for breakfast could not once get it right for my breakfast order.
That we only stayed 4 nights. Would have loved longer. But will return.
Did not like the chandelier at the entrance of hotel had 3 lights out .... Very noticeable and your doorman slightly unfriendly! He needs to smile and help guests who are not overly wealthy but comfortable. This also very noticeable.
I think the staff that clean the rooms could be a little better,although very friendly I feel that the cleaning of the bathrooms and the bedroom could be stepped up a notch . I did not like the wash cloths at all ,they are seriously old and tired, not to mention off colour, I did however ask for new wash cloths, I was still given thin old washed out wash cloths.
Amenities in the bathroom could be of better quality.
The bar was very small and you would have to wait for a table even though we were residents. Difficult to eat in hotel bar or restaurant unless you had it booked in advance. The bar closed at 12am on Sunday and we couldn't have a drink.
Not applicable.
Poor performance on service at breakfast, though when this was mentioned at checkout, it was immediately compensated by cancellation of the breakfast charge. So no real complaint.
The gym and swimming pool were on the other side of the hotel (from my room), and I have to walk around the hotel using different lifts. The room size was a little bit small as well.
Lacked attention to detail eg no biscuits with tea/coffee making facilities Breakfast returned twice on 2 occasions due to being luke warm and not all contents for a full English breakfast in Roux restaurant.
Aloofness of some staff Disparity in room rates - paid £160 more than another guest who was provided with a more superior room with breakfast.
Room service took about 30 mins to get our bucket of ice.
Breakfast rather expensive for what it was.
I cant think of anything. keep up the good work!.
No obvious lounge area to take coffee, and restaurants fully booked, so we had to go out.
Room not ready until 1630. Made to wait.
That I was only there for one night :(.
nothing specific as a dislike but something was missing.
Steps to some rooms.
Although the check in time was 3 pm, we had to wait until 4.45 before our room was ready.
The lounge area could have been better arranged with a few extra pieces of furniture.
Pool area very basic.
