This hotel is a great place to end our stay in Great Britain. It has been open only two months. The hotel wraps around one side of the new national rugby stadium. The top floor has 6 suites that look onto the field. Our room is large, luxurious and looks toward the town, not the stadium. After staying in hotels that were not Marriotts, we REALLY appreciate the standards of our daughter's employer. Thanks Erin for setting us so well.
This is the hotel and stadium from a distance. We met a fella who lives in the neighborhood. He really bad mouthed the stadium and hotel because of the length of time he had to endure the construction. He did go on to give us good recommendations for places to see in the area. I have to say that I am ready to eat food that has flavor and be with people who are more lighthearted. Everyone has been friendly and helpful, just a bit serious.
We walked from the hotel to the Thames River in Twickenham. We turned a corner along the foot path and saw this humorous fountain. Note the nymph about to fall into the water on the left side.
Beyond the hedge row was a pond with the pretty lilypads. Not the colors of Monet, but still a pleasing still-life.
Image King Henry VIII floating by on his elaborate barge on his way to see Anne Boleyn at Hampton Court, which isn't far away.
This is what the edge of the footpath looked like. There were people sitting on benches all along here.
York House is now the town hall and used for receptions and weddings. The central part was build in 1690. The gardens and Thames are right behind it.
